GRAND PRAIRIE, TX—NOVEMBER 15, 2025—Holy Guacamolee delivered a commanding performance Saturday night to win the $910,508 Texas Classic Futurity-G1 at Lone Star Park, completing the 400-yard final in 19.545 seconds into a light 3 mph headwind over a fast track, earning a 97 speed index.

The bay gelding, sent out by trainer Jed Vane for owner Dunn Ranch, broke alertly under jockey Juan Pulido and quickly established control, pulling away with a clean and driving finish to score by a half-length.
