BY MICHAEL CUSORTELLI

PHOENIX, AZ–APRIL 22, 2024–Rush My Hocks, a son of multiple Grade 1 sire Kiss My Hocks and the fastest qualifier, is one of 10 2-year-olds entered back in Saturday's 300-yard, $30,000-added AQRA President's Open Spring Futurity at Turf Paradise.

Trained by Eric Valenzuela for the Tungsten Racing Partnership, Rush My Hocks broke his maiden with a 1 1/2-length victory in the second of two trials on April 4. The gelding drew post 3 and will be ridden by Luis A. Flores-Garcia.

Ricardo M. Ramirez's Bartlett made his debut with a neck win in the first heat. Alex Torres-Casas trains the Favorite Cartel gelding and $110,000 purchase at last year's Ruidoso Select Yearling Sale.

Bartlett drew post 4 and will be ridden by Aaron Belloc.
