Bred in Louisiana by Kenneth Garcia, San Lorenzeaux is produced from the winning Mr Jess Perry mare Scoopie Coochie. The son of Champion Carters Cartel was a $29,000 LQHBA Yearling Sale graduate.
In the Lee Berwick, San Lorenzeaux just missed to Blood Money, losing by just a head. He followed that strong effort with a facile 3 3/4-length triumph in his Oct. 8 trial heat for the LQHBA Sale Futurity, in which he set the fastest qualifying time to the finals.

place finisher Amazing Blood. Blood Money is campaigned by Rojas Racing Stables and is conditioned by Rosendo Valdez Jr. Undefeated in five starts heading into the LQHBA Sale Futurity, Blood Money, a two-time stakes winner, suffered his first loss in the race. A $17,000 LQHBA Yearling Sale
