The 10 fastest qualifiers will return for the final on Saturday, October 4. First post on Saturday’s program is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. (CDT).

The spotlight in Race 4 falls on A Maverick (#2, 4-5), the morning-line favorite bred in Texas by Triple K Farms. A son of A Revenant out of the First Down Dash mare Down Some Gold, A Maverick races for Jose Martin Ramirez Garcia, is trained by Yasmine M. Medina, and will be piloted by Claudio P. Aguilar.

 A $24,000 TQHA Yearling Sale graduate, the colt has flashed sharp speed in his four starts, including winning the $620,000 TQHA Sale Futurity(RG1) in his last start, July 26. With a (6) 3-2-0 record he has banked $333,360.

Race 7 features two promising juveniles: Jess A Good Angel (#3, 8-5) and Ocho Rojo (#9, 9-5).

Jess A Good Angel, bred in Oklahoma by Cristian Leonardo Alcala, is by Jess Good Candy out of Sin Tachas Angel by Pyc Paint Your Wagon. The colt races for Marisol Alvarado, is conditioned by Leonardo Alcala, and will have Juan Pulido aboard. An earner of $148,221, he has already found the winner’s circle twice in three starts and was third in the Grade 1 $1.16 million Heritage Place Futurity in his last start.

Ocho Rojo, bred in California by Juan Humberto Moya, is a colt by Favorite Cartel out of Sizzling N Fast by Walk Thru Fire. He was a $135,000 Ruidoso Select Sale purchase for Florentino Leon and is trained by Oscar Constancio Jr. with Victor Urieta Jr. up. A finalist in the Grade 2 Sam Houston Futurity and Grade 2 Oklahoma Futurity earlier this year stamps him as a leading contender. He has earned $69,233.

In Race 8, Talias Cowboy (#8, 7-5), bred in Texas by Ted G. Abrams, looks to continue his rise.

Consistent in three career starts and a finalist in the West Texas Futurity(G1) and Four Corners Futurity, he has shown enough class to warrant favoritism here. He has earned nearly $50,00.

In Race 10, Remarkable Cowgirl (#8, 8-5) enters as a filly with plenty of upside.
