JEROME, ID–JUNE 17, 2022–
Dorian Montero's Jackies Famous Girl, a daughter of champion One Famous Eagle and the fastest qualifier, drew post 6 for Sunday's 350-yard, $22,375 Roche Equine Futurity, the richest race at the Jerome County Fair meet.

Jackies Famous Girl broke her maiden with a half-length victory in the second of three trials on June 5. Raced in two states, including California, the filly has earned $2,928 from four starts.

Jackies Famous Girl will be ridden by Pedro V. Gonzalez for trainer Ramiro Fregoso.

Also on Sunday, eight sophomores -- headed by Zoomin For Trix and fastest qualifier Richie Rich 1 -- are entered back in the 350-yard, $15,650 Five Livestock Company/Rod Mills Memorial Derby.

Zoomin For Trix races for the Walker Family Trust from the barn of trainer Ramiro Fregoso. The homebred daughter of Zoomin For Bux, the filly has earned $33,843 from 10 outs, and her record includes a third-place finish, a half of a length behind winner Runaway Witch, in last year's 350-yard, $119,000 Bitterroot Futurity (RG3) at Pocatello Downs.

Zoomin For Trix drew post 6 and will be ridden by Oscar Villa.

Richie Rich 1 drew post 3 and will be ridden by Eric Ayala for owner and trainer Uriel Arreola. A homebred son of the Concorde's Tune (TB) stallion Concorde's Appeal (TB) and a finalist in last year's $102,000 Wild West Futurity at Los Alamitos, the colt made his 3-year-old season debut with a one-length victory in first of two trials on June 5.

Post time for the first race on Jerome's eight-race program is set for 1 p.m. (MDT).
