ALBUQUERQUE, NM–JULY 12, 2026–StallioneSearch.com wraps up its weekend webcast coverage of the 2026 Rainbow Futurity (G1), Rainbow Derby (G1), and Rainbow Oaks (G1) which is the second leg of the Quarter Horse Triple Crown Series on Saturday night at the Downs at Albuquerque in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

In this episode, StallioneSearch was on hand at the Downs at Albuquerque to capture the running of the $1 million Rainbow Futurity (G1), which resulted in El Huracano V delivering a winning performance to capture the prestigious million-dollar event in 19.185 seconds, going 400 yards.

The Oklahoma-bred brown gelding is from the first crop of leading freshman sire Golden Boi and races as a homebred for Valeriano Racing Stables LLC. Trained by Raymond Valerio, El Huracano V was ridden by Francisco Calderon, who guided the talented juvenile to victory in one of Quarter Horse racing's premier futurities.

Following the victory, StallioneSearch.com caught up with winning jockey Francisco Calderon, who shared his thoughts on El Huracano V's impressive performance and what the future looks like for this gelding.

Coverage of the Ruidoso Futurity (G1) and Ruidoso Derby (G1) on StallioneSearch.com is sponsored by the nation's leading third-crop sire, Uncle D. The Grade 1-winning stallion and sire of a Grade 1 winner stands at Prestige Equine in Roswell, New Mexico.
