Fastest Qualifier Dos Tocallos Draws Post 4 for AQRA President’s Open Spring Futurity Final

BY MICHAEL CUSORTELLI

PHOENIX, AZ—APRIL 24, 2014—A field of nine 2-year-olds, including fastest qualifier Dos Tocallos (2/1), has been entered back in the 300-yard, $45,980 Arizona Quarter Racing Association President’s Open Spring Futurity, one of two Quarter Horse stakes to be run at Turf Paradise on Monday.

A New Mexico-bred son of Jess A Chicks, Dos Tocallos made his career debut with a convincing 2 3/4-length victory in the second of three trials on April 6. Brad Trego trains the colt for owner Daisy Ruiz.

Norma Reyes’ Smoke On The Water (7/2), the second-fastest qualifier, made his debut with a three-quarter length win in the third trial. The gelded son of Spit Curl Jess and the Smoke Glacken (TB) mare Smokin (TB), who is trained by Benito Guillen Vega, was a $1,700 purchase at last year’s Heritage Place Yearling Sale at Oklahoma City.

The winner of the first trial, Chicks Deville (9/2), is a gelded son of Chicks Regard racing for Ramon Arroyo Sanchez from the barn of Armando Castellanos.

The AQRA President’s Open Spring Futurity will be the first race on Turf Paradise’s nine-race program, and it will be followed immediately by the 350-yard, $10,000-added AQRA President’s Open Spring Derby for 3-year-olds. Estimated post time for the Futurity is 1 p.m. (MST).
