LOS ALAMITOS, CA—DECEMBER 16, 2016— He Is The Risingstar will go after his third stakes win at 550 yards when he leads a full field of 10 in the $20,000 Paul Ford Handicap on Friday night.

Trained by Paul Jones, He Is The Risingstar is the defending winner of the Paul Ford after taking last year’s running by a neck. The Mr Jess Perry gelding followed that win by taking the Barbra B Handicap also at 550 yards in January.

He Is The Risingstar has not won a race since then, but did finish third to Champion of Champions finalist He Looks Hot in the Nutrena Stakes at 440 yards. Fulton Quien Sabes Ranches owns the multiple stakes winner.

A pair of horses that last raced in the Grade 1 Andreini Distance Stakes at 870 yards return to action to take part in the 550-yard feature including Andreini winner Rare Ed. Ramon Guce, the track’s all-time leading Thoroughbred pilot, will be aboard Rare Ed. Mickey Ward, which ran fifth in the Andreini, will also see in ation in the 550-yard dash.
