2023 Grade One, $1,207,640 Heritage Place Futurity

FASTEST QUALIFIER FOR GRADE 1 HERITAGE PLACE FUTURITY, SAN LENCHO, WAS ALSO FASTEST IN THE FINALS

OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – June 4, 2023 – San Lencho, the fastest qualifier on trials night, proved to be the fastest horse on finals night of the Grade 1, $1,207,640 Heritage Place Futurity on Saturday, the richest race in Oklahoma annually.

The win, under jockey Juan Pulido, for trainer Waylon Melton, kept the 2-year-old colt by Apollitical Jess, out of the Heza Fast Dash mare Dashnunder Afullmoon, undefeated after three starts. His running time for the 350 yards was :17.336 for a 99 speed-index over a fast track and it was the fastest time in the past five editions of the Heritage Place Futurity. One has to go back to the 2018 edition for a faster time when Sunnysyde won in :17.141.

San Lencho broke his maiden at Remington Park, winning by a head against maidens on March 24, followed that up with a win by 1-3/4 lengths in his Heritage Place Futurity trial in May 15 and then won Saturday night by three-quarters of a length as the 7-5 wagering favorite.
