Lonely Moon Sign Is Back for More

Lonely Moon Sign, the beaten favorite in last year’s Kindergarten Futurity, will make his first start as a 3-year-old tonight in the seventh race, a $12,550 allowance at 350 yards.

Owned by Jesus and Sandra Soto and trained by Angela Aquino, the son of Royal Quick Dash will be ridden for the first time by Eddie Garcia. A winner in half of his six starts, Lonely Moon Sign has been away since finishing eighth in the Pacific Quarter Horse Racing Assn. Breeders’ Futurity Sept. 28.

Of his five opponents, only Ima Trackmaster is coming off a victory. A son of Chicks Beduino owned by Armando Leon and trained by Jose Antonio Flores, Ima Trackmaster won his last by a length at 12-1.

The picks: 1. Call Me Mr Feature. 2. Caperucita Roja. 3. Indigodash. 4. Wicked Mood. 5. Hubris. 6. Casana. 7. Lonely Moon Sign. 8. Los Al Fly.

Four! Use Three Secrets Away and Call Me Mr Feature in the first, single Caperucita Roja in the second, Indigodash, Swift Intruder and Jazhi Dotcom in the third and Wicked Mood, Sevenmiss and Black Velvet Miss in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Its Good To Be Queen had trouble in her bow and could improve second time out for trainer Danny Cardoza in the sixth. Hey Dale switches to jockey Garcia in the eighth.

Post Time: 7:15 p.m.
