Valiant Rogue will shake Quarter Horse racing’s reigning world champion, Jessies First Down, when he runs in Saturday night’s Grade 1, $75,000 Refrigerator at Lone Star Park. He hooked that rival last month, finishing a credible fourth to Jessies First Down in the Grade 1 Fall Championship at the Downs at Albuquerque.

The Refrigerator is a 440-yard race for 3-year-olds and up. Valiant Rogue is listed at 12-1 on the morning line. For complete entries for the race: https://www.drf.com/race-entries/track/LS/country/USA/date/10-13-2018

Valiant Rogue, who was a Grade 2 winner in May at Remington Park, will break from post 4. He was beaten a length and a half in the Fall Championship after winning back-to-back allowances at Albuquerque in July. Aside from the good form, Valiant Rogue is appealing as one who is 2-for-4 on wet tracks. The surface was sloppy for morning works at Lone Star with rain a constant in North Texas on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Rodrigo Vallejo has the mount from post 4 for Wyok Ranch and trainer Jimmy Padgett, II.

There are a number of horses that bring win streaks into the Refrigerator:

*Super Sonic (1) will be looking for his third straight win off a pair of allowance victories in Louisiana.

*Sf Hot Pass (3) is looking for his third straight win off back-to-back stakes wins in Texas, a Grade 2 at Retama Park and a small stakes at Lone Star.

*Apollitical Scout (6) steps outside of the filly and mare ranks while looking for her fourth straight win. She launched her streak with a Grade 2 win in June at Remington Park, then won an allowance and a stakes at the Downs at Albuquerque.

*Financial Top (9) also is looking to make it four in a row, with his streak built at Evangeline, Delta Downs and Retama Park.

*Eye N Capo (8) does not bring a win streak into the race but is a perfect 2-for-2 at Lone Star. He won the Grade 2 Sam Houston Classic in May.
