The second trial produced the second fastest qualifier, Kina Big Deal, who posted a time of 17.968. Ramiro Garcia guided the Jess Louisiana Blue gelding to a 2-length victory over Victory Candy.

Kina Big Deal ($25.00) is trained by John Hammes. He is owned and bred by Lisa Beauprez and the Estate of Thomas Bradbury, out of Teller Sheza Doll, by Teller Cartel.

Kina Big Deal recently qualified for the $75,000 Cherry Creek Futurity at Arapahoe and broke his maiden in the trial win for that race.
