AURORA, CO—JULY 28, 2015—Three Olives N Smoke, a multiple stakes winning son of champion Jess Louisiana Blue, will put his four-race win streak on the line in Thursday’s 400-yard Mile High Futurity trials at Arapahoe Park.

Racing for Margo Schares and Brad Thomas from the barn of trainer John Hammes, Three Olives N Smoke is coming off of a one-length victory in the July 12, 350-yard Rocky Mountain Futurity at Arapahoe. The gelding has earned $103,444 from five outs.

Stormy Smith will ride Three Olives N Smoke from post 9 in the second of six trials.

Thomas Scheckel’s Streakin PR, a gelded son of Corona Cartel who was stakes placed during the Remington Park spring meet, drew post 7 in the sixth heat. Trained by Kasey Willis, Streakin PR has banked $35,505 from four races, and his resume includes a second-place finish to The Charm Of Corona in the 330-yard, $70,000 Laico Bird Stakes (R) for Oklahoma-breds in April.

Cesar Gomez will ride Streakin PR on Thursday.

The 10 fastest qualifiers will meet in the $160,000-added Mile High Futurity final on August 16.
