There May Not Be Anyone as Good as ‘Gold

Key To The Gold looks like the one to beat in the $13,250 Classic Futurity, a four-furlong race for 2-year-old appaloosas and paints.

Owned by James Haverty and trained by Karen Haverty, Key To The Gold, a Utah-bred son of Danzatore, is the only member of the field of seven with a victory. Making his debut at Sacramento on Sept. 1, he won by two lengths as the 2-1 favorite.

Ramon Guce will ride Key To The Gold, who will break from the rail. The only other horses in the field with race experience are Turn The Crank and Fooled You Twice.

The card also includes trials for the Drinkers Of The Wind and Daughters of the Desert futurities for Arabians and the $13,000 Easy Date Handicap for 2-year-old fillies at 350 yards.

The picks: 1. Youthlike. 2. Stellar. 3. Key To The Gold. 4. Dash For Apollo. 5. Doc Toothman. 6. Beda Special. 7. Dream Keeper. 8. Trebuchet. 9. Royalclassicexpress. 10. Tinys Launch.

Four! Use Youthlike, Mornings Snow and Cee A Dash in the first, single Stellar in the second, use the entry of Funny Secret-He Roves and Key To The Gold in the third and High Rhythm Run, Dash For Apollo and Montford in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Strawfly Ta Lou had some trouble in his latest race and gets a jockey change to Alex Bautista in the sixth. More Adorable is a new shooter from Delaware in the eighth.
