Cyber Hostage secured the second-fastest qualifying time with a decisive 1 1/4-length victory in the third trial. Ridden by Edwin G. Escobedo, the gray gelding dueled through the early stages before pulling away to complete the distance in :19.728, earning a 98 speed index.

He comes from the family of two-time champion Hold Air Hostage ($1,415,551), winner of the All American Derby (G1).

Coming off a runner-up finish in the Governors Cup Futurity, Cyber Hostage improved his record to 8-5-2-0 with $181,321 in earnings. He also finished fourth in the Remington Park Futurity (G1) earlier this season.

Olmstead and Garcia teamed up again in the final trial with Crash for Kash, who surged late to score a half-length victory and secure the third-fastest qualifying time of :19.789. The brown colt earned a 96 speed index.

Owned by Tom Maher and Stephen N. Williams, Crash for Kash was bred by Mc Stucks and purchased for $98,000 at the Heritage Place Yearling Sale.
