GRANTS PASS, OR–JUNE 16, 2024–Louisiana-bred Tf One Dashn Lajolla broke her maiden at first asking today while posting the fastest qualifying time for the Firecracker Futurity at Grants Pass Downs.

The 10 fastest qualifiers from six trial races conducted today will return to the Grants Pass, Oregon racetrack on Thursday, July 4th, to vie for the winner's share of a $30,000-added purse going a distance of 350 yards.

Tf One Dashn Lajolla drifted in under jockey Guillermo Suarez in her first career start while defeating Hunny Moon by a head in trial 5 to get the fastest clocking of 17.554 seconds, equaling a 93-speed index.
