Cal Night Features Undefeated Horses, Some Champions On Saturday



LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE, CYPRESS, CA—Thirteen stakes races highlight an outstanding night of Quarter Horse racing for California-breds on Saturday at Los Alamitos. First post time is 7:00 p.m. with fields of 10, 8 and 9 horses kicking off the first of three Pick Four wagers offered on the night. The richest race of the evening is the $400,000 Governor's Cup Futurity, which on the night of the trials back on July 13 saw three undefeated horses qualify to this 350-yard race. The three undefeated horses are Nancy Scane's Ought To Be Rapid, Bikers Bono, who is owned by 15 Southern California residents, and Ed Allred's impressive My Buddie.

The return of Apollitical Time, the reigning champion aged mare, will headline the richest running ever of the Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship Handicap. Making her first start since running third in the Charger Bar Handicap on January 6, Apollitical Time returns to action after a sizzling 220-yard workout of :11.80. She'll be facing Catchmeinyourdreams, a four-time champion in the AQHA age division, and Los Alamitos Winter Championship winner Volcom.

The $170,000 Governor's Cup Derby will feature the outstanding champion FDD Dynasty in his first stakes final since running second in the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity. Wave Carver, last year's Governor's Cup derby winner, went on to be crowned World Champion. The Matron, Jens List Memorial Stakes, Freshman Stakes are some of the other big races.


******************
The $400,000 Governor's Cup Futurity will feature Ever Fire Burns SA, an outstanding performer that has won two of three career starts. Owned and bred by Gianni Samaja, Ever Fire Burns SA defeated fellow finalist Really A First in their first ever race and then ran second to Ed Burke Million Futurity runner-up Eye For Corona.

First Icy Morn is still winless but he has outstanding pedigree and is a full brother to Governor's Cup Derby contender First Down Morn. The latter will be joined in the derby field by Ron and Denise Amburgh's Not A Full Moon, who ran lights out in the trials, posting a 1 3/4 length win after his nose decision in the El Primero Del Ano Derby on April 13.
