LOS ALAMITOS, CA—OCTOBER 7, 2020— Ed Allred’s Grade 1 stakes placed mare Hot Little Kiddy will face California Breeders Debutante Stakes winner All Prettied Up and five other talented runners in the $15,000 Whataway To Go Handicap for 3-year-olds and upward fillies and mares on Friday at Los Alamitos.

Hot Little Kiddy is trained by James Glenn Jr. and will be ridden by Oscar Andrade Jr., the same jockey/trainer combination that paired up to win the Grade 2 PCQHRA Breeders Futurity with Monopolist last Sunday night.

In her previous start, Hot Little Kiddy finished third in the Grade 1 Mildred Vessels Memorial Handicap on September 20 and before that she was second to Tequila Sangria in the Flight 109 Handicap on August 9.

A full sister to Grade 1 Charger Bar Handicap winner Kiddy Up Cowgirl, Hot Little Kiddy has always performed solidly in stakes event and the Whataway To Go appears to be right up her alley at the 350 yard distance.

Ashley Garcia’s All Prettied Up was an easy ¾ length winner in the Debutante and then ran a solid fourth when facing the boys in the Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap on August 29.

Paul Jones, Howard Nichols and Thompson Racing’s Suite Expectations is another solid filly always with stakes aspirations. The Apollitical Jess filly ran third in the $400,000 Los Alamitos Oaks this sprint and two outings ago she was an impressive allowance winner here.

Suite Expectations also faced the boys when finishing out of the money in a trial to the Grade 2 PCQHRA Breeders Derby in her last start on September 12. Sgt Pepper Feature runner-up Fayvorite Chick, Galloping Goddess, One Hot Habit and Chocolate Divinity will complete the field.

Remembering Whataway To Go

Sired by legendary Go Man Go and out of the AQHA Dam of Distinction Steamed Up, Vessels Stallion Farms’ Whataway To Go was the 1969 AQHA champion 2-year-old filly following a perfect juvenile campaign of eight consecutive victories. Her streak included wins in the Kindergarten Futurity at Los Alamitos, when ridden to victory by Terry Lipham for trainer Jerry Fisher, plus Las Ninas Stakes and the Pacific Coast Quarter Horse Racing Association Futurity at Fresno.

She continued delivering success in 1970, as she won the Josie’s Bar Handicap and qualified to the Los Alamitos Derby, but it was 1971 where she regained her winning habit. Whataway To Go won her first four starts that year, winning the Yakima Meadows Futurity and the Peninsula Championship at Bay Meadows.

She would close out her stakes wins by taking the Bluegrass Stakes at Latonia. Whataway To Go finished her career with 18 wins from 36 starts and earnings of $108,551.
