Editor’s Note: The photo gallery has been updated to include the horses that were officially entered in the race after post positions were drawn on Aug. 26.
The post positions for the Grade 1, 440-yard All American Futurity are set.
The post positions were drawn Monday for the $3 million race, which will have a field of 10 2-year-old quarter horses. Odds were not released.
The All American Futurity dates back to 1959, the first-ever running of the event.
Hezgothelook Z is seeking to become the second horse to win the Triple Crown. Special Effort accomplished the feat in 1981. Hezgothelook Z won the Ruidoso and Rainbow Futurities earlier this summer.
Kempton, who had the third fastest qualifying time (21.472 seconds) on the second day of trials for the race, was scratched from the race after a bad test was discovered. Instead Painted Eclispe will take his spot after being the next fastest time with a mark of 21.472 seconds.
The five fastest times from each of the two days of trials earned a spot in the finals.
The post positions for the Grade 1, $700,000 All American Derby were also drawn. That race is for 3-year-old quarter horses.
Both races are on Labor Day, Sept. 2 as part of a 12-race card that begins at 1 p.m.
The All American Futurity will be shown on the Cowboy Channel.
