RUIDOSO DOWNS, NM—JULY 20, 2021—Jess Savin Candy, a son of the Good Reason SA stallion Jess Good Candy racing for Dutch Masters III, will continue his quest for the All American Triple Crown in Sunday’s 400-yard, $1-million Rainbow Futurity (G1) at Ruidoso Downs.

Jess Savin Candy has won his last two starts, including the 350-yard, $1-million Ruidoso Futurity (G1) -- the first leg of the All American Triple Crown -- on June 13. A $30,000 purchase at last year’s Heritage Place Yearling Sale in Oklahoma City, the bay gelding has earned $426,400 from three races.

Only one 2-year-old -- world champion Special Effort in 1981 -- has swept all three of Ruidoso Downs’ Grade 1 futurities. Jess Savin Candy drew post 8 and will be ridden by Francisco Calderon for trainer John Stinebaugh.

Paragon Farms Inc’s FDD Scout, an undefeated homebred son of champion FDD Dynasty trained by Trey Wood, drew post 3 and will be ridden by Tanner Thedford.

Racing exclusively at Ruidoso Downs, the sorrel gelding has won all three of his outs -- including the June 13, 100,000 Ruidoso Juvenile Invitational Stakes -- and he has banked $53,694.

The complete lineup, in post position order including jockey assignments:

1. CC Hocks (Juan Pulido)
2. KJ Desparado (Adrian Ramos)
3. FDD Scout (Tanner Thedford)
4. Significant Dynasty (Luis Martinez)
