San Lorenzo Moon (Apollitical Blood- Dashnunder Afullmoon) and jockey David Alvarez steadily gained ground in the lane to finish second as the 2-1 race favorite. The brown filly, who captured her trial heat by a nose, was the fifth-fastest qualifier. The brown filly is owned by Rogelio Marquez and is trained by Jesus Marquez. San Lorenzo Moon fell just short of duplicating the feat of her dam, four-time stakes winner Dashnunder Afullmoon, who won the Lassie Futurity-RG2 in 2017.
Cool Ya Jets (Jet Black Patriot-McM On Thin Ice) crossed the wire in third but was disqualified for drifting in and causing
interference in mid-stretch and was placed last. The disqualification elevated Mamaigotthis (Jet Black Patriot-Duachais) to third. Ridden by Modesto Pina, Mamaigotthis is owned
by Three Muskoteers and trained by Wendy Garcia. The bay filly was bred in Louisiana
by Lester Colomb Jr. out of Races And aces Stakes third place finisher MCM On Thin Ice. Mamaigotthis finished third in her May 5 trial heat and previously won a trial to the Mardi Gras Futurity.
Mazzikeen (The Louisiana Cartel-Sixarun Bug) followed in fourth place and Amadeo Perry (Apollitical Blood-Dee Dee Perry), Jeg Fascination (Freighttrain B-Ja Fascination), Eagle Watchn (One Dashing Eagle-Won
To Watch), Sweet London Rose (One Sweet Jess-Kdwantsafastone), Cos Mamma Said (Tee Cos-Mamma Jamma Jamma) and Cool Ya Jets completed the order of finish.
