\"\"<\/a>Sam Houston Futurity winner Kiss My Hocks, trained by Toby Keeton, made his Ruidoso Downs debut on Thursday, May 22, with a three-length win, and the fastest qualifying time from 12 trials to the Grade 1, $700,000 Ruidoso Futurity.<\/p>\n

The Tempting Dash son, owned by Conda Maze and Tyler Graham and ridden by Cody Jensen, covered 350 yards in :17.281. Horses with the five fastest times from Thursday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s trials will join the five-fastest qualifiers from Friday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 12 trials in the Ruidoso Futurity on June 8.<\/p>\n

“He is the soundest 2-year-old I have ever seen,” said Graham, who bred the colt out of Romancing Mary, by Tres Seis. “He’s a big colt, but very light on his feet. <\/p>\n

Kiss My Hocks came into the Ruidoso Futurity trials from two wins at Sam Houston Race Park, in his first two starts, including a 330-yard track record of 16.433 in the trials to the Sam Houston Futurity. He won the $564,000 Sam Houston Futurity by one-half lengths.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He is just an unbelievable horse,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Keeton. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t ask for anything more. He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the real deal – the horse of a lifetime.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Second-fastest qualifier Jm Famous Master also has stakes experience. The J&M Racing and Farm-owned son of Pyc Paint Your Wagon came off a third-place run in the Grade 2, $267,651 West Texas Futurity and won the eighth trial in :17.348 by 1 3\/4 lengths. Alonso Rivera was aboard for trainer Jose Muela.<\/p>\n

The remaining three qualifiers were Bodacious Eagle (:17.382), Madmax (:17.448) and Separate Dynasty (:17.461).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
