Half of the eight-race card will feature stakes races Saturday at Turf Paradise.
The first of the stakes will go as the second race, then three stakes in succession, sixth thru eighth races. Post time will be 12:40 pm.
$30,000-added Arizona Breeders’ Futurity, 2-yo-old fillies, (2nd race, 6 furlongs)
The Robertino Diodoro-trained Arizona Sun is a standout in this field of eight juvenile fillies, having won half of her six starts, including Assiniboia’s Debutante Stakes. The daughter of Ministers Wild Cat is the one to beat.
$25,000 Cactus Wren, 3-yo-olds and up, (6th race, 6 ½ furlongs)
The usual cast of local toughies is showing up for the Wren, headed by trainer Kevin Eikleberry’s triple entry of Yo Y Me, Fortified Effort and Loud N Proud. Fortified Effort will look to repeat last year’s victory in this race, in which stablemate Yo Y Me finished third.
But this is far from a two-horse rematch. Trainer Kory Owens will send out two from the 11-month layoff bench, 2018 Spring Futurity winner Call Waiting, who has been revving up in workouts after been off for 11-month and Ramblin Man.
$25,000 Cactus Flower, Fillies and Mares, 3-yo-olds and up (7th race, 6 ½ furlongs)
No less competitive than the males in the Wren, the Cactus Flower will showcase Senoradiablo, Foggia and five-time winner Chance to Shine, who just won the Queen of the Green stakes on the turf.
The Molly Pearson-trained Dreamy Gal delivered as the favorite following a layoff in the recent Princess of Palms. And 10-time winner Sierrita appears ready for best effort following a fifth place comeback effort following a two-month freshner.
$30,000-added Arizona Breeders’ Futurity, 2-yo-olds, colts and geldings (8th race, 6 furlongs)
Given that eight of the ten entrants are still maidens, two-time winner Arizona Jeremy will catch the horseplayers attention, especially due to his last victory in the $72,000 ATBA Sales Stakes at today’s distance. Another Pearson-trained rising star, the $33,000 Arizona Thoroughbred Sales purchase should be a prohibitive favorite at post time.
