LOS ALAMITOS, CA–OCTOBER 30, 2024–An array of outstanding juveniles will be in action on a busy Saturday night card at Los Alamitos. Nine races are on tap starting at 6:10 p.m. with the first six races on the card being contested around the turn with Quarter Horse straightaway events being held as races 7,8 and 9.

Race seven will feature the local debut of Raymond Whitmire’s Midnight Cowboy 123. The Oklahoma-bred gelding by Flying Cowboy 123 was second in his All American Futurity trial before heading to Lone Star Park where he ran third in his Dash For Cash Futurity trial.

Now at Los Alamitos, Midnight Cowboy is trained by Justin Joiner with eyes on racing in the trials to the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity later this month. Joiner won the 2018 Two Million with Scott Bryant’s Flash And Roll. Francisco Calderon pilots Midnight Cowboy 123 from post number three.

This excellent contest will also feature Johnny Trotter’s Famous Talk, who was third in his All American Futurity trial. The colt by One Famous Eagle is out of the Grade 1 winner Little Talks and arrives for this race after posting a :12.4 local drill on October 4. Luis Martinez will ride him for trainer Xavier Rodriguez from the outside post eight.

SR Racing Stables’ Cheap Bar, second in his Ed Burke Million trial and third in his Golden State Million trial, will also be in action in this event.

The ninth race is an allowance feature led by G2 Kindergarten finalist Relentless Trick DB and Rainbow Futurity trial winner WR Desperado. Owned by Dale Boydston, Relentless Trick DB won a maiden race last summer and has also been knocking heads with allowance foes.

WR Desperado, who is owned by Raymond and Lainie Whitmire and also trained by Justin Joiner, was third in his All American Futurity trial. He also posted runner-up effort in a Heritage Place Futurity trial. WR Desperado’s dam is the great 2020 AQHA World Champion Whistle Stop Cape. This will be his fourth career start, each one of them coming at a different track.  Six others will be in action in this event.
