Have’n a Wild Time collared Lonely and Free in the final strides for a neck victory Thursday in the Ashbaugh Beal Claiming Challenge Qualifying Event for older fillies and mares at Emerald Downs.

With apprentice Eliska Kubinova riding her third of four winners on the card, Have’n a Wild Time ran one mile in 1:37.27 and paid $15, $8 and $3.80. Bonifacio Rayas is the trainer for owners Julie Nakahara and Matt Pilot.

Lonely and Free, ridden by Rocco Bowen, nearly led gate-to-wire but was tagged in the final strides. Lonely and Free paid $6.60 and $4.60.

A. Lurie Girl, with Juan Gutierrez riding, rallied for third and paid $3.60.

Kubinova swept the final three races, four of the last five, and boosted her season total to 64 wins and needs just seven wins in the final 16 days to set a single-season record for apprentice wins at Emerald Downs.

Kubinova was on some prices, too, as Intentional Foul paid $16 in the third, Matt Allie $5.80 in the fifth and Lit’l in Din $10.60 in the seventh. The late Kubinova Pick 3 paid $183.30 for $1.

Intentional Foul, Mattie Blue and Have’n a Wild Time all have won their last two races with Kubinova riding. A former stakes winner, Have’n a wild Time is 6-4-7 in 35 starts lifetime with earnings of $84,722.
