Fastest qualifier Jes An Angel already has a stakes victory under her belt coming into the All American Futurity. In her first out on March 13, the sorrel filly won her trial to the Louisiana Downs Futurity by 3/4-lengths, qualifying to the Grade 2 finals with the fourth best clocking. She didn’t fare as well in the $324,288 finals, however, finishing a distant last. Next, she won her trial to the Old South Futurity at Delta Downs as the fastest qualifier and came back in the $148,040 finals to win the event for her first stakes victory. She then won her tri- al to the John Deere Sam Houston Juvenile Challenge wire-to-wire by 3-lengths but stumbled badly at the start of the finals and rallied to finish 6th in those.
In her trial to the All American Futurity, Jes An Angel broke on top from the 5-gate and was bumped early on in the race but she received every call. She had a head lead at the first call and at the top of the stretch, dueling all the way but pulling away as she neared the finish line. The filly crossed the wire a neck to the good. Jes An Angel was bred by Jerry Windham in Texas, and is owned by Lance R. Moore, who is also her trainer. Moore purchased Jes An Angel from the 2021 Heritage Place Yearling Sale. Jockey Camilo Castillo has ridden her in all of her previous races, but Bryan Candanosa was aboard for her All American Futurity trial victory.
The second fastest qualifier from day 1 of the trials, Sicario V is still looking for that illusive victory. The gray gelding made his first start in a 220-yard maiden event on May 14 at Los Alamitos, finish- ing third in a good effort. He then finished a distant seventh
in his trial to the Ed Burke Million Futurity and did not qualify to the Grade 1 finals. In his start prior to the All American Futurity tri- als, Sicario V came on strong at the end of a 350-yard maiden race at Ruidoso Downs and he finished a neck behind the winner in
second place.
In his trial to the All American Futurity, Sicario V broke well in second from the 4-post. He raced in second the entirety of the event just a head behind the leader and he finished a neck behind in second place. The gelding was a full 2 3/4-lengths ahead of the third-place finisher. Sicario V was bred by Edward C. Allred in California, and he is owned by Valeriano Racing Stables LLC. Trainer Santos Carrizales Jr. has trained Sicario V in his last two starts, and jockey Juan Pulido has ridden him in both. Valeriano Racing Stables LLC purchased Sicario V at the 2021 Los Alamitos Equine Sale where he went through the ring as Hilarious C.
