MEXICO CITY, MEX–JUNE 30, 2025–Race 9 on Sunday’s card at Hipodromo de las Americas featured the $19,500 Garanones Futurity Consolation, a 300-yard dash for juveniles who just missed qualifying for the RG2 Futurity final.

Post-time favorite Mr Do Chicks delivered as expected, holding off a late surge from El Ilusionista SR to win by a neck in a time of 15.15 over a fast track. The race was run into a light headwind, and the winner earned a 92 speed index while collecting the $10,000 winner’s share of the purse.
