SAN LORENZO JET SETS FAST TIME FOR THE
LOUISIANA LADDIE FUTURITY AT DELTA DOWNS

- THE $331,880 FINAL TO BE RUN ON SATURDAY, MAY 28 -


VINTON, LA. – Delta Downs hosted the first eight trials for this year’s $331,880 Louisiana Laddie Futurity (RG2) on Friday night. The five fastest Louisiana-bred colts and geldings from Friday’s action will join the top five from Saturday’s eight trials to make it into the final of the race, which will take place on Saturday, May 28.

The fastest qualifier from Friday night was Rogelio Marquez, Jr.’s San Lorenzo Jet ($10.20), who won the fifth trial of the night under jockey David Alvarez. The Jesus Marquez trainee covered 330 yards in a time of 16.781 seconds, which equaled a speed index of 87. Each race on the Friday program was contested over a fast track.

The win by San Lorenzo Jet came in his career debut. He earned $6,000 for the effort and now has a chance to bank another $165,940 in the final coming up in three weeks if he wins the event.

Bred in Louisiana by Rogers Farm of Tim and Jennie Rogers, San Lorenzo Jet is a 2-year-old bay colt by Jet Black Patriot, out of the Fly Jess Fly mare Miss Delta Duck. He was purchased for $49,000 at the 2021 Louisiana Quarter Horse Breeders Association Yearling Sale.
