Los Primitos Pledges 10% of Heritage Place Earnings to Moore Tornado Victims

MISSION, TX—MAY 22, 2013—Jay Andrade, a spokesperson for Los Primitos, owner of Bp Wagon Train who will participate in the $1 million Heritage Place Futurity(G1) at Remington Park on June 1, announced today they are pledging 10% of horses earnings in that race to the victims of Monday's horrific tornado in Moore, Oklahoma.

"Los Primitos is based out of Texas, but we have been running in Oklahoma for the last few years. Oklahoma racing has been so very good to us, and we have done extremely well racing there. We saw the tragedy on the news from the devastation of the tornado, and it was decided that it would be the least we could do was to help out," Andrade said.
