VINTON, LA–JUNE 17, 2026–Two trials were held at Delta Downs on June 17 for the $75,000-added Delta Downs Louisiana Bred Oaks, a 400-yard race for accredited Louisiana-bred 3-year-old fillies. The trials were contested over a fast track under cloudy skies with an 8 mph tailwind.

Mamma Im Leaving You topped the qualifying list after winning the second trial under Noe Castaneda for owner Jeantile Deville and trainer Jose Lopez.

Bred by Wiggins Acres LLC, the filly is a $33,000 graduate of the LQHBA Yearling Sale. Sired by champion sire Coronas Leaving You and out of the winning Apollitical Jess mare Mamma Jamma Jamma, she is a full sister to stakes winner Jess Proved Youwrong ($155,888).

The female family also includes champion Apollitical Gold ($1,014,601), winner of the Golden State Million Futurity (G1) and third in the All American Futurity (G1).

Mamma Im Leaving You broke sharply and quickly took command before drawing clear late to post the fastest qualifying time of 19.759 seconds and a 99 speed index.

She now owns a record of 12-6-3-1 with earnings of $205,665. She entered the trials off a finalist effort in the Heritage Place Oaks (G2) and previously captured the Mardi Gras Oaks (G3). As a juvenile, she was second in both the Louisiana Bred Lassie Futurity (G2) and Mardi Gras Futurity (G2).

Jess Another Mornin and jockey Rene Hernandez won the opening trial to secure the second-fastest qualifying time. A homebred for Live Oak Farms, the filly is trained by Danny Hoda. She was a $20,000 repurchase at the LQHBA Yearling Sale.

Sired by champion Tarzanito and out of the Mr Jess Perry mare Mornin Jess, Jess Another Mornin is a half-sister to stakes winner Shez The Bomb ($135,991) and stakes-placed Jess Good Lookin ($158,249). Her second dam is Grade 1 winner Morning Snow ($367,702), while third dam Sweet Message ($31,207) was a stakes winner and Grade 1 finalist.

She has now won three consecutive races and owns a record of 11-4-3-1 with earnings of $76,800. She was second in last year's LQHBA Sale Debutante Stakes.

Bred by Grant Farms LLC, the filly is a $41,000 graduate of the LQHBA Yearling Sale. She is sired by world champion sire Freighttrain B and out of a full sister to stakes winner and track record holder Big Dashing Perry ($350,022). The female family also includes champion and Rainbow Futurity (G1) winner First To Flash ($494,835).
