- Share via
Because of his performance in a trial Saturday night, Lonely Moon Sign is the 2-year-old to beat in the $361,000 Kindergarten FuturityMay 18 at Los Alamitos.
Owned by Jesus and Sandra Soto and trained by Donna McArthur, the son of Royal Quick Dash proved his debut win last month was no fluke by winning his trial by 13/4 lengths in 15.44 seconds for 300 yards, making him the fastest of 10 qualifiers for the Kindergarten.
Ridden by Sam Thompson, Lonely Moon Sign won his first start by three-quarters of a length without being asked for his best.
The picks: 1. Greek Gus. 2. Wired To Win. 3. Dashnlitia. 4. Isolation. 5. Leaving The Fire. 6. Chili Palmer. 7. Serenity Dash. 8. Bys Bug.
Four! In the first, use Greek Gus and Brisco Lamb, single Wired To Win in the second, use Dashnlitia, Per Pritzi and Takin On A Dream in the third and Isolation, Hey Cuz, Cee A Dash, Poke Money and Radium Rays in the fourth.
Shots in the dark: Pattons Pistol, who will break from the outside in the sixth, needed 14 starts to earn his first victory, but two horses who chased him (Lanes Fortune and Crocodile Hunter) won Sunday night.
Gorsuch drops into a softer spot in the eighth for the trainer-jockey combo of Kelly Lewis and Dennis Means.
