Trainer Paul Jones; breeder Leonard Blach DVM; jockey Eddie Garcia; and leading money earner Mr Master Bug were inducted into the Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame on Saturday, June 26.

Jones is the eight-time defending Quarter Horse training champion. Jones-trained horses have won more than 3,000 races, including 321 stakes races, and earned $57 million.

Blach has overseen the breeding careers of many successful Quarter Horse stallions, including Easy Jet, Go Man Go and Rocket Wrangler. He also opened the first equine surgical facility in New Mexico and managed Buena Suerte Ranch in Roswell.

Blach achieved international racing fame in 2009 as co-owner of Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, who went on to finish second in the Preakness Stakes and third in the Belmont Stakes.

Garcia, winner of the 1993 All American Futurity aboard A Classic Dash, also the all-time leading rider of stakes winners (144) at Los Alamitos Race Course, including the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity, the Golden State Million Futurity, the Los Alamitos Championship, and the Los Alamitos Derby.

Mr Master Bug, bred and owned by Marvin and Lela Barnes, won the 1982 All American Futurity, the 1983 Rainbow Derby and the 1984 All American Gold Cup at Ruidoso Downs. Trained by Ruidoso Downs Racehorse Hall of Fame member Jack Brooks, he was the all-time leading money earner upon his retirement and is still the all-time leading money-earning stallion, with $1,793,718 in career earnings.
