PHOENIX, AZ–NOVEMBER 30, 2025—Twenty-seven Arizona-bred juveniles will highlight Wednesday’s card at Turf Paradise, competing across three trial heats for the $25,000 added AQRA Futurity. The youngsters will sprint 350 yards in pursuit of the ten fastest qualifying times for the December 3rd final, with the first race set to begin at approximately 1:15 PM.

Trainer Matthew M. Fales sends out a strong group with six entrants across the trials, headlined by Alitlelesstalk in race two. Installed as the 3-1 morning line favorite, the gelding arrives in sharp form after delivering a bullet workout upon reaching Turf Paradise, followed by a smooth gate refresher.

Bred and owned by Ralph and Carolyn Fales, Alitlelesstalk has already earned $43,790. The Tell Cartel gelding, out of Jess One Looke by Jesse James Jr, will break from post six under jockey Luis A. Valenzuela as he looks to secure a spot in the final.

Trainer David John Williams counters with three entrants of his own, led by Heart On a Run in the third race at 2-1 odds. The consistent filly has hit the board in all three of her starts, including a runner-up finish in the $52,000 AQRA Presidents Open Spring Futurity.

Bred and owned by J Lazy Six Racing, she is by Corona Cartel and out of One Spicy Eagle by One Famous Eagle. Kevin Carbajal will take the reins from post five as she aims for another strong performance.

With a talented group of juveniles set to contest the opening three races, all eyes will be on the clock as connections vie for one of the ten coveted spots in the $25,000 added AQRA Futurity.
