2015 Los Alamitos Futurity Race Favorites

Toews On Ice - Bob Baffert trained colt started his career with consecutive third place finishes at Del Mar but since has strung together three straight impressive wins. Last time out the win came in the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes by 1 1/4 lengths as favorite at Del Mar November 14 after wins in the minor Speakeasy Stakes at Santa Anita October 18 and the minor Barretts Juvenile Stakes by 7 1/2 lengths on this very track in September. Toews on Ice hasn't been touched in three months and hopes to keep the impressive streak going from gate 5 Saturday in his longest race to date. Martin Garcia has the mount from gate 4.

Hollywood Don - Peter Miller trained colt posted two straight wins this past summer including the minor Del Mar Juvenile Turf Stakes September 5 and followed that with a third behind the terrific Nyquist in his graded stakes debut - the Grade 1 FrontRunner Stakes at Santa Anita September 26. Last time out was a disappointing ninth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Hollywood Don had looked good before an uncharacteristic effort last time out. He looks to rebound from post 3 Saturday with Victor Espinoza guiding him.

Mor Spirit has been in every race so far and hopes for his first stakes score Saturday from post 5 with Gary Stevens in the reins.

Sorryaboutnothing - will hit the track for just the third time for trainer Doug O'Neill. He enters off a fortunate maiden score ahead of Urlacher November 15 at Del Mar after a fourth in his debut on that same track November 7.

Urlacher hopes to make a big statement Saturday in his huge step up in competition - from the rail with James Graham aboard.

I'malreadythere - Jerry Hollendorfer trained gelding has five career starts with a win, a second and two third place finishes. He has placed in his last four starts ahead of this weekend - a third last time out behind Toews On Ice in the Grade 3 Bob Hope Stakes at Del Mar November 14 followed a second in the minor Zuma Beach Stakes October 10, a third in the minor Del Mar Juvenile Turf in September and a maiden score at Gulfstream in August. I'malreadythere has been knocking on the door but is still looking for his first stakes win. Tyler Baze has been tabbed with accomplishing that goal from the outside post 7.
