Pass Over earned the remarkable distinction of winning back to back AQHA Champion race horse honors. She was Champion Quarter Running Three-Year-Old Filly in 1974 after making some of the most remarkable and memorable wins in history. Following a super successful two-year-old racing season in 1973, it’s no wonder why the daughter of Thoroughbred stallion Pass Em Up was named champion for the second year in a row.
Owned by Jack R. Delmar of Rosenberg, Pass Over won at first asking in January of her two-year-old season. Trained by James Bertrand Sr., Pass Over went on to win the Triple Crown Futurity, La Vahia Futurity, Sun Country Futurity, and Kansas Futurity as a two year old. Pass Over set a new track record of :17.38 for 350 yards at Sunland Park trials. She went on to win the $168,000 the Sun Country Futurity with the same exact race time. Her next stop was Ruidoso Downs where she won the Kansas Futurity as she made a huge rally after a poor start to win going away.
During a spectacular first season, Pass Over made 16 starts with eight wins and six seconds and earned a quarter of a million dollars. Her sophomore campaign was a little bit under the radar as she placed second in her trial for the All American Derby. Her time was just good enough to qualify for the big three-year-old race. In the Derby finals, Pass Over moved to the top of her class as she relished a sloppy track to win the All American Derby in 22.08 and earned $172,000.
Houston Post writer Clark Nealon called her “The Cinderella of the Quarter Horse World”. Pass Over was bred by Dr. Nat Kieffer and trained by Charles Cascio.
