Mardi Gras Futurity-RG2
KK SANDRA PATRIOT
by Michael Compton
KK Sandra Patriot broke her maiden in
ideal fashion, sweeping to victory in the $349,946 Mardi Gras Futurity-G2 at Louisiana
Downs on March 27. The stakes victory in just her second career start should come as little surprise based on her pedigree.
The brown daughter of Game Patriot is out of Sandra Sue Blue, winner of the 2013 Mardi Gras Futurity. KK Sandra Patriot did her part to keep the winner’s trophy in the family. She finished second in her trial dash, recording the 4-fastest clocking in her career debut on March 6. She learned enough from her initial outing to come
out running in the main event for trainer Adrian Huitron.
The Ruse Ranch colorbearer broke in 6th position but quickly rallied into second, chas- ing Jess Dash Fast away from the starting gate in the 300-yard test.
The pair of rivals dueled the length of the lane with KK Sandra Patriot forging past the
Louisiana Downs
