Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted December 6, 2019 Journalists Share Posted December 6, 2019 An evenly matched field of four is set to line up for Saturday’s GII Los Alamitos Futurity S., which was previously run as a Grade I. Hall of Famer Bob Baffert seeks his 13th win in this event and sixth straight and he saddles half of the field here. Gary and Mary West’s High Velocity (Quality Road) looks to score his third straight victory here. A debut winner sprinting at Santa Anita Oct. 13, the bay captured the GIII Bob Hope S. next out at Del Mar Nov. 16. His stablemate Thousand Words (Pioneerof the Nile) earned an 88 Beyer Speed Figure for his first-out graduation in Arcadia Oct. 26 and adds blinkers for this step up in class. Anneau d’Or (Medaglia d’Oro) more than outran his odds when coming up just a head short of 45-1 shot Storm the Court (Court Vision) at 28-1 in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Nov. 1, which was his first try on dirt. The $480,000 OBSAPR purchase romped by eight lengths in his unveiling on the Golden Gate turf Sept. 29. Capturing his career bow at Del Mar July 27, Wrecking Crew (Sky Kingdom) finished second in the GII Best Pal S. Aug. 10 and filled the same spot in the GI Del Mar Futurity S. Sept. 2. The $875,000 FTFMAR buy completed the trifecta in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
