HOUSTON, TX–MAY 23, 2023–JP General, a gelded son of champion A Revenant owned and trained by Jose R. Espinosa, will make his next start in Friday's 400-yard Adequan Sam Houston Derrby Challenge trials at Sam Houston Race Park.

JP General has earned $115,200 from six starts in New Mexico and Louisiana, and he was a finalist in Quarter Horse racing's richest and most prestigious race, last year's 440-yard, $3-million All American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs. A $105,000 purchase at the 2021 Heritage Place Yearling Sale in Oklahoma City, the gelding is out of First Prize Shaunda, a graded stakes winning Pyc Paint Your Wagon mare.

JP General drew post 7 and will be ridden by Cipriano Vidana in the first of three trials.

The 10 fastest qualifiers will face off in the June 16, $40,000-added Adequan Sam Houston Derby Challenge final.
