None Above The Law wins the Alcatraz
Three-year-old gelding None Above the Law became a multiple stakes winner at Golden Gate Fields on Sunday afternoon in the $75,000 Alcatraz Stakes for 3-year-olds on firm turf. The grey/roan equine sat off a fast pace early, made a dash to the lead in the midstretch and pulled away for a convincing length-and-a half victory under jockey Irving Orozco. None Above the Law completed the one mile on grass in 1:35.56.
Sent off as the 9-5 post time favorite, None Above the Law paid $5.80 to win, $3.60 to place and $2.80 to show. Runner up finisher Seattle Bold, who set front-running fractions of 23.14, 46.33, 1:10.32 and 1:23.63 on the lead before getting reeled in within the final furlong, paid $5.00 to place and $3.80 to show. Third place finisher Jungle Cry returned $3.80 to show. Chief Jackson ran fourth, followed by Top Harbor, J.T s Watch, Ida Claire, Top Executive, Stalking Shadow and Que Sera Sir Ralph.

The publisher of Richard Montañez’s upcoming memoir, “Flamin’ Hot: The Incredible True Story of One Man’s Rise From Janitor to Top Executive,” is moving ahead with the book after a Los Angeles Times investigation found Montañez was not involved in the creation of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos.
“During his 40+ years at Frito Lay, Richard Montañez repeated the story of his involvement with this product hundreds of times, in speeches, books, and media interviews,” Adrian Zackheim, president and publisher of Portfolio Books, said in a statement Tuesday. “Only now, just as his book is announced, are we suddenly hearing an alternate narrative about the development of this product, which seeks to diminish Richard’s contribution and to question the details of long-ago events.”

Fuelled by the redder than red dust of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, a Frito-Lay janitor rose through the ranks to become a high-powered executive. So goes the against-all-odds story of Richard Montañez, self-proclaimed creator of the wildly popular spicy snack.
“The Godfather of Hispanic Marketing” has been telling this tale since 2007. About how, after working the graveyard janitor shift at the Frito-Lay plant in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., he took home a bag full of plain Cheetos. Inspired by elote vendors, he used his wife Judy’s recipe for chili sauce to season them. “After an intense process of experimenting and testing” in his kitchen, Flamin’ Hot was born.
