L.A. COUNTY FAIR : Fairplex Park Features Barrett’s Juvenile Race

The first running of the $150,000-guaranteed Barrett’s Juvenile for 2-year-olds highlights the Thursday afternoon program at Fairplex Park in Pomona.

Horses that passed through the March and May 2-year-olds in training sales at the Barrett’s sales complex at Fairplex Park are eligible to the Barrett’s Juvenile, and not surprisingly a full field of youngsters were entered in the 6 1/2-furlong dash.

The winner will receive $82,500.

Only one horse in the field has raced on the Pomona track: Skylaunch. The son of Skywalker is coming back after only a two-day rest, however, and will have to be in good shape to repeat his stunning win at a better than 40-1 mutuel on Monday.

The lineup, in post position order, is made up of Fistylee, ridden by Ray Sibille, 113 pounds; Truly Royal, David Flores, 113; Running House, Adalberto Lopez, 115; Silver Strand, Martin Pedroza, 113; Highland Avenue, Julio Garcia, 113; Le Natural Dancer, Danny Sorenson, 113; Knight’s Get Away, Corey Black, 113; Skylaunch, Frank Olivares, 113; Caught De Star, Kent Desormeaux, 115, and Gold Crest Express, Ron Hansen, 115.

On the also-eligible list are Iron Pleasure, with Garcia named on a second call, 113; Trafalgar Eight, Pedroza’s first call, 113; Mr. Winner, Sibille’s first call, 113; Hot Society, Corey Nakatani, 113; Do Run Run Run, Danny Boag, 113, and Field Marshall, Lopez’s second call, 113.
