Evening Snow Also On Tap at Los Alamitos Sunday Night

LOS ALAMITOS, CA—DECEMBER 10, 2021—The field to the $17,500 Evening Snow is led by Jesus Avila and Jesus Cuevas' Set For It, who enters on a three race win streak that includes a victory in the $20,000 Tolltac Handicap at 350 yards. 

The gelding by a leading third-crop sire, Seperate Interest, then scored a ¾ -length win in the trials to the Golden State Million Futurity before dashing to half-length win in the trials to the Two Million on November 21.

Set For It missed qualifying to the seven-figure futurities, but he has stamped himself as a top-notch runner for years to come.

The Evening Snow will also feature Governor's Cup Futurity finalist Nevada Charles and Javier Alvarez, Jr's impressive Two Million trial winner Empty Promises. Also sired by Seperate Interest, the filly faced a 10 mile per hour headwind and just missed qualifying to the final.

Pentos and A Pollitical Candy V complete the field.

Evening Snow Honors The Evening Snow Stakes is named in honor of one of the fastest Quarter Horses of the 1990s and the first ever winner of the Los Alamitos Million Futurity, now known as the Two Million Futurity.

Owned by Abigail Kawanakoa, Evening Snow won the first running of the 400-yard futurity with Joe Badilla Jr. up for trainer John Bassett.

The next morning's headline by Larry Bortstein in the Orange County Register about Million read, "It snowed in Cypress, California last night."

Evening Snow certainly dominated the night, as he powered to victory while also becoming the first horse to ever race in two races with million-dollar purses in the same year.
