made one start prior to entering the gates for the All American Futurity trials. That was in a maiden event at Ruidoso Downs in July when Elm Creek Khrome was out of the gates tardy and ran a bit green, but still managed to move up under his regular rider Jose Alvarez to take third place. This was
the plan for the black gelding – to give him just one or two outs before the All American trials, in which he once again broke tardy to receive the ninth call from the gates. After a bit of bumping, however, the powerful gelding was in second by 1/2-length at the first call where he remained until the final yards. Up late at the wire, Elm Creek Khrome passed his rival and scored a neck victory. His time held on through the remaining heats and he was awarded with the final qualifying position from day 1.
