Elm Creek Khrome for breeder/owner H. Kent Creel. No sires had more than one qualifier, and no breeders, owners, trainers nor jockeys qualified more than one horse to the finals.
August 17, day 2 of the trials, saw similar temperatures as day 1, but the winds were slightly more erratic. The day opened with
a very light tail wind for the first heat, but quickly turned around to see the remaining trials running with anywhere from a 12 mph head wind to a 14 mph cross wind. That first heat with the slight tail wind saw three of the five qualifiers from day 2 advance to the finals. There were no homebred qualifiers from this
6A
A total of 26 trials were contested over two days at Ruidoso Downs to determine the 10 fastest qualifiers for the $3 million All American Futurity-G1, to be held on Labor Day – closing day of the Ruidoso Downs’ summer season.
August 16, day 1 of the trials, saw tempera- tures in the high 80’s and low 90’s, and there was a head wind gusting from between 6-13 mph. Just the boys qualified to the finals on Friday, coming from the 5th, 7th, 11th and 12th heats. One came from the inside post, two from the two-post, one from the four-hole and one from the six. Day 1 of the trials also saw one homebred make it to the big event in
day, and there were no sires, breeders, owners, nor jockeys to qualify more than one horse to the finals.
When we look at all of the qualifiers from both days of trials combined, we see that there will be a coupled entry this year as owners Mark and Annette McCloy qualified one horse from day 1 and one from day 2 of the trials. We
also see that trainers Bret Vickery and James Gonzales II each qualified two, and jockeys Jose Alvarez, James Flores and Ricky Ramirez each qualified two horses to the finals. Sires Apollitical Jess and One Famous Eagle each qualified two horses to the finals, as well.
