LOS ALAMITOS, CA—AUGUST 15, 2020—Marco Hernandez's Tres A Jess picked a fine time for his first career win, as the colt by One Sweet Jess pulled away late to score an easy victory at 14-1 odds in the $51,332 John Deere Los Alamitos Juvenile Challenge on Saturday night.
With Jonathan Roman up for trainer Roman Figueroa, Tres A Jess led right from the start and eventually found a higher gear to post 1-˝ length win in the 350-yard dash.
In the process, the Arizona-bred upset 1-2 favorite Apollitical Patty, who came into this race as the fastest qualifier and unbeaten in three starts. Getting the best of Apollitical Patty was a daunting task, but Tres A Jess delivered from post number six.
"It was a lot of hard work and effort," said Roman, who has ridden Tres A Jess in all three of his starts. "He's been a good horse in the morning and has come back well after his race. He had a good gate today, flew out of there and then took off."
Walker Family Trust's Apollitical Patty finished in a dead heat with Robert Gutke's Royal Racy Perry for second place in this race. They each earned $7,700 for their effort.
Delila Rose, KR Frosty, Transcendeur, Jess Beautiful Fire and Ms Racy Eagle completed the field.
