POCATELLO, ID—SEPTEMBER 5, 2020— After two trials on Saturday afternoon, The Prize Ferrari was the fastest qualifier to the John Deere Pocatello Juvenile Challenge.

The Prize Ferrari ($4.60) and Jesus Canales won the first of two trials in 17.635 and earned a 95 speed index. The Mark Hanson trainee led gate-to-wire to earn his third career start. The gelded son of The Louisiana Cartel finished second in the Bitterroot Futurity (RG3) in his previous start and was second in the Crush the Curve Futurity in June.

The Prize Ferarri is owned by RTM Stables, Robin Dunn, Kevin Dunn and Byron Goody. He was bred by Weetona Stanley in Oklahoma, out of the Mr Jess Perry mare Ferarri Fast Prize, making him a half-brother to multiple grades stakes winner Ferrari James. The Prize Ferrari is three for five lifetime with earnings of $26,021, all at Pocatello Downs.
