All-American Futurity

Qualifier Profiles

Dateline: 8/30/02

AB What A Runner, an aptly named Royal Quick Dash filly, made history when she ran the first sub-21 second quarter mile in history in her All American Futurity (G1) trial on August 15. When she breaks from post 6 in the $2,050,000 final on September 2, the filly will attempt to make history again by giving owners Dennie and Kris Hill and trainer Bret Vickery their first victory in American Quarter Horse racing's richest race.

The $219,403-est. All American Derby will be run on Sunday. The connections of champion Tres Seis, the fastest qualifier and likely post time favorite, chose post 2 for the Golden State Futurity (G1) winner and All American Futurity runner-up.

Below are the entrants in program number order with post positions, jockeys, and morning line odds for both the All American Futurity and the All American Derby.
