LOS ALAMITOS, CA—AUGUST 28, 2020—Ashley Garcia’s All Prettied Up is one of two talented fillies facing a quartet of geldings that include Adequan Los Alamitos Derby winner Mister Tornado and Los Alamitos Maiden Stakes winner Sass Mo Blue in Saturday’s $25,000 Sgt Pepper Feature Handicap for 3-year-olds at Los Alamitos.

All Prettied Up has been in terrific form this season, winning a pair of races while hitting the board in each of her last six starts this season. The Favorite Cartel also gave trainer Angela Aquino a special stakes victory when she won the Debutante Stakes on California Breeders Champions Night on July 25. All Prettied Up won the Debutante with Aquino’s nephew, jockey Oscar Andrade Jr., aboard.

"The last time I won one of these (a stakes race on Champions Night) he was a baby,” said Aquino referring to her nephew. “I think I have the picture and I am holding him in the winner’s circle. He was about a year old; he was a yearling. We have come a long way.”

Aquino is a two-time leading Thoroughbred trainer at Los Alamitos and Andrade Jr. is one of the nation’s top young Quarter Horse jockeys. Aquino will saddle All Prettied Up from post two.

Martha Wells’ Fayvorite Chick is the other filly in this race. She will enter after finishing seventh in the Governor’s Cup Derby also on Champions Night. She also won an allowance event on June 5.

Doctor Gene, third in the Vandy’s Flash in his last start, and Wrong Impression, a two-time winner this year, will complete the field.
