Fly Baby Fly, the winner of the $3 million All American Futurity on Monday at Ruidoso Downs, and Hold Air Hostage, who captured the $1.3 million All American Derby on Sunday at Ruidoso Downs, are both scheduled to ship to Lone Star Park in the next few days, according to their trainer, Jimmy Padgett, II.
Padgett said plans for both horses are to be determined, but Fly Baby Fly is eligible for the trials for the $1 million Texas Classic Futurity at Lone Star, he said, while Hold Air Hostage's long range goal is the Champion of Champions at Los Alamitos.
Padgett said Jessies First Down, the reigning world champion Quarter Horse who won the Grade 1, $200,000 All American Gold Cup on Sunday at Ruidoso, also is headed to Lone Star. He said the horse is being pointed for the Challenge Championship at Prairie Meadows.
Lone Star opens its Quarter Horse meet Sept. 15.
