Sam Houston Race 9 - Texas Breeders Futurity Stakes
WHOOPIE COWGIRL (9) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 302m at this track (Dirt). Jorge Javier Garcia who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. COWBOYS FLYING (1) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 302m at this track (Dirt) three weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. APOLLITICAL COWBOY (7) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 302m at this track (Dirt). Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. JC CANELO (6) scored last start at this track (Dirt) to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Should be poised just off the lead. Don't underestimate.

Getting off the mark on debut; won by 2.5 len at this track April 17 over 302m defeating Jb Apollitical Mon with 56kg at $2.10. Can't dismiss winning form but will find this tougher.
