ALTOONA, IA—AUGUST 3, 2024—Cyclone Derby winner Ab Boogie won the $40,000 Cy-Hawk Stakes at Prairie Meadows on Saturday, his second consecutive stakes victory of the meet.
Under jockey Alfredo Triana, Jr., Ab Boogie broke well and pulled away from runner-up Five Bar Phi in the stretch to win by half a length. The son of champion sire Apollitical Blood completed the 350 yards in 17.324 seconds, equaling a 102-speed index.
Trainer Manuel Campos saddled Ab Boogie to his third career win in eight starts for owner-breeder Ruben Mojica.

He was second in the Jim Bader Futurity at Prairie Meadows last year.
Runner-up Five Bar Phi was also second to Ab Boogie in the Cyclone Derby, his last start on July 7. Edward Ross Hardy conditions the Five Bar Cartel gelding for owner Christine Hovey.
