Fastest Qualifier No Sure Thing in Grade 1 Futurity

Fastest qualifier, Hesa Sweet First Down, will have to repeat his stellar performance he gave in the trials if he wants to take the prize in Saturday's Grade 1, $103,762 Lone Star Speedhorse Paint & Appaloosa Futurity, because the competition looks tough.

Owned by Carole Vann Stacy and trained by Matt Whitekiller, Hesa Sweet First Down did post the fastest time two weeks ago, but only by two one-hundredths of a second faster than the next fastest. The colt by Sweet First Down has three wins from six lifetime starts and earnings of $18,871 going into Saturday’s race.

Lajollas Mr Big Stuff, the second fastest qualifier, has a bit more experience with six wins and two seconds from 11 lifetime starts and has amassed earnings of $114,529. A. Jane Cullum owns the gelding by Royal Quick Flash, and Dee Keener is his conditioner.

Shirley Wheeler's Imachickenkicker, is a formidable contender. Trained by Luis Villafranco, the filly by Dos Puruno, just won the Grade 1, Pot O Gold Futurity at Will Rogers Downs September 29 by a half-length over Lajollas Mr Big Stuff. Imachickenkicker stats are 9-2-2-2, $43,577.
