FARMINGTON, NM—AUGUST 3, 2015—Rapid James and Chickaloni are two of the 31 state-bred 2-year-olds entered in Friday’s 350-yard New Mexico Breeders’ Futurity (RG2) trials at SunRay Park.
A homebred son of Jesse James Jr, Rapid James has earned $27,340 from two outs for his owner, Currie Maben of Clovis, New Mexico, who also bred the sorrel gelding. Rapid James will be making his first start since April 4, when the gelding broke his maiden with a half-length victory in the 300-yard, $45,000 New Mexican Spring Fling Stakes (R) at Sunland Park.
Rapid James is trained by Jaime Aldavaz Jr. The gelding drew the rail post and will be ridden by Jaime Leos in the first of four trials.
