SHELBYVILLE, IN–AUGUST 10, 2022–Trials for the QHRA of Indiana Stallion Service Auction Futurity (R) and Derby (R) headline Saturday's all-Quarter Horse program at Horseshoe Indianapolis.
Post time for the first of 11 races is set for 10 a.m. (EDT).
Fifty-two 2-year-olds, headed by the undefeated HF Whoopi, are entered in Saturday's 350-yard QHRAI Stallion Service Auction Futurity trials. A daughter of the Brimmerton stallion Brimmstone trained by Jessica Vazquez for owner Campos Family Ventures LLC, HF Whoopi has won all three of her races and has earned $127,820, and the filly will be stretching out in distance off of her three-quarter length victory in the 300-yard, $200,000 Gordon Mobley Futurity (R) on July 23.
HF Whoopi drew post 7 and will be ridden by Edgar Diaz in the last of six trials.
Leading trainer Randy Smith will send out 14 entries, including the stakes-placed WRS Hava Dasher. A homebred daughter of Apollitical Blood owned by Williams Racing Stables Inc., the filly has banked $25,620 from three outs and is coming off of a third-place finish, 1 1/2 lengths behind winner Extermynator, in the 300-yard, $145,000 Heartland Futurity on July 23.
WRS Hava Dasher drew post 8 and will be ridden by Juan D. Marquez in the third heat.
The 10 fastest qualifiers will meet in the September 3, $196,736 QHRAI Stallion Service Auction Futurity final.
Also on Saturday, 28 sophomores are entered in three 400-yard QHRAI Stallion Service Auction Derby trials.
Glenn Graff's High Rolling Seize drew post 6 and will be ridden by Shanley Jackson for trainer Matt Frazier in the second heat. A homebred son of the PYC Paint Your Wagon stallion Seize The Win, the bay gelding has earned $79,205 from four races this season, and he is coming off of a nose victory in the 400-yard, $132,000 Blue River Derby (R) on July 23.
Sarahs Violin, a sorrel son of the Corona Cartel stallion Encore owned and trained by Librado Barraza, drew post 3 and will be ridden by Erik Esqueda in the third trial.
