Kaseys Spirit Gets Fourth Win In A Row With The $125,000 307 Horse Racing Futurity Victory

GILLETTE, WY–JUNE 30, 2024–Second fastest qualifier from the trials, Kaseys Spirit, returns to get her fourth consecutive win on Sunday afternoon in the $125,000 307 Horse Racing Futurity at Energy Downs.

Regular rider Jesus Valenzuela, who has led Kaseys Spirit to all of her previous victories, got the leg up on the two-year-old powerhouse for a length victory over Tempting Look. The duo clocked an 81 speed index in :15.742 seconds against a 20 mph headwind, and the 300-yard win paid $6.00 on a 2/1 odds.

Trained by Kylie Valenzuela, Kaseys Spirit has four career wins with two stakes victories, including the Beehive Juvenile Stakes at Weber Downs, where she broke the track record. The post-time favorite sired by Kvn Corona earned $62,500 in today's futurity, increasing her bankroll to $67,135.

He has earned $21,250 for his owner, Adrian Aleman, and was a finalist in the Pocatello Downs Spring Classic Futurity last month.
