Kindergarten Futurity Fire And Sass Heads Sunday’s Program

LOS ALAMITOS, CA—SEPTEMBER 28, 2017—JGA Racing Stables Incorporated’s Fire And Sass will look to score his first victory since scoring in the $304,000 Kindergarten Futurity when he headlines a talented group of 2-year-olds in the seventh race, the featured $11,325 allowance Sunday at Los Alamitos.

Trained by Juan Aleman and to be ridden for the first time by Cody Jensen, Fire And Sass was a half-length winner in the Kindergarten on May 14 against a field that included Dont Foose With Me and Summertime Favorite. The Walk Thru Fire gelding missed qualifying to the Grade 1 Ed Burke Million Futurity in his next start, finishing second in a 350-yard trial after breaking behind the early leaders while drifting in.

Fire And Sass then traveled to Ruidoso Downs and made a pair of starts in trial races. He was second in his All American Futurity trial outing on August 18 before returning to Los Alamitos to begin preparing for the Golden State Million Futurity trials on October 22 and then the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity trials on November 26.

Fire And Sass will face a field that includes Kindergarten finalist Perfect Az Can Be, recent allowance winners Madam Of Fire MV and Unblemished, and Panhandle Dash, a winner of an All American trial. McFarland USA, an allowance winner back in June, will also race.

Sundays’ program will also feature the second career start for Bill Absher and Leland Decker’s Chowchilla Chickadee, who debuted with a super 2 3/4 length win on September 9.

The Foose filly will headline the sixth race $11,325 allowance at 300 yards. The eighth race is also an allowance event - an $11,025 event for fillies and mares.

Carolyn and Ralph Fales’ stakes placed filly All Right Now, 2015 All American Futurity finalist Crooked Path, and Ed Allred’s multiple stakes winner Nymph are among the mares competing in this race.
