FARMINGTON, NM—MAY 6, 2025—Ten New Mexico-breds are set to compete on Friday in the Jimmy Drake Stakes [RG3] at SunRay Park, with the morning line favorite, My First Luv, showing early odds of 3-1.

My First Luv recently secured a significant victory in the New Mexico Breeders Stakes [G3] on April 18 and a second-place finish in the Sunburst Stakes [G3] on March 2. She has had an impressive racing career, with three wins from eleven starts and earnings of $142,220.

Rc Corona King is the highest money earner in the field, boasting lifetime earnings of $424,009 with seven wins from 22 starts. The son of leading sire Eye Am King is a four-time graded stakes winner, including the Red Or Green Stakes [G2] earlier this season.
