AURORA, CO—JULY 24, 2014—Four Quarter Horses will face four Thoroughbreds at the hybrid distance of 870 yards in Sunday’s $12,500 Leo Beaudash Stakes at Arapahoe Park.

The Quarter Horses include the top-three finishers in the Izyk Bonus Challenge at Arapahoe Park on July 11—winner Coronas Ice maiden, second Cashin the Wagon, and third Bonified Man—and New Mexico-based Oh Jess Fly, winner of the Grade 3 Herman Jefferson Stakes over the distance at Zia Park.

The Thoroughbred challenge comes from Artistic Venture, E F Five, Laugh at Life, and Two Violins. E F Five, who will be facing Quarter Horses for the first time, has won five stakes races for Thoroughbreds at Arapahoe Park.
