LOS ALAMITOS, CA–NOVEMBER 6, 2025–A first-time stakes winner will be crowned in the running of the $30,000 Town Policy Handicap on Saturday night at Los Alamitos.

Eight sophomores will compete in this 400-yard race, and while no horse in the field has already won a stakes race, there are several Grade 1 stakes finalists in this event.

J. Francisco Diaz’s Cowboy Bolt is one of those with experience in Grade 1 stakes events. The gelding by Flying Cowboy 123 won his trial to the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity last December, an effort that earned him a spot in the meet’s richest race.

After running in that Grade 1 futurity, the Lindolfo Diaz-trainee has made three appearances this season, his best effort being a fifth-place finish against Lethal Cowboy 123 in the Sgt Pepper Feature on August 23.

Dunn Ranch LLC’s Firey Eagle is another one with Grade 1 experience after running in the Texas Classic Futurity, which FDD Dreams won in November 2024 at Lone Star Park. He picked up an allowance win here on September 27.

Juan Moya’s Nationalist competed in the Restricted Grade 1 Spencer Childers California Breeders Championship Handicap at 400 yards on July 26 and has since posted an allowance win at 350 yards and a second-place finish at 550 yards.

Edward Melzer Revocable Trust’s Clareets Boy, who was second in the Sgt Peppe Feature, is among the others in this event.

Astronomical 123, Gimy A Reason, Fourstreakingeagle and Autamatic will also race.
