EVANSTON, WY—AUGUST 4, 2019—Bouncing off a troubled effort in the $99,681 Cowboy State Futurity on June 29, Valiant Virgo got the nod over Bp Southern Suzie on Sunday to get the top qualifying time for the Wyoming Downs QH Futurity.

The 10 fastest qualifiers, from 29 two-year-old's who participated in four trials today, will return to Wyoming Downs on Sunday, August 18 to vie for the winner's share of a $10,000-added purse going 350 yards.

Ridden by jockey Oscar Cervantes, Valiant Virgo completed the 350 yard course in :17.619 seconds, equaling a 95 speed index into a 3 mph crosswind. It was the first win five starts this season for the son of champion sire Valiant Hero.
