The team behind Chicks First Flash in Sunday’s $257,500 Robert Adair Kindergarten Futurity at Los Alamitos have ample experience in the race, the first major race of the year for 2-year-old Quarter Horses in California. Last year, trainer Monty Arrossa and jockey Armando Cervantes teamed to win the Kindergarten with the filly Fire Fast Honey, who was second in the $438,500 Los Alamitos Oaks earlier this year. Chicks First Flash, an Idaho-bred gelding by First Moonflash, set the fastest qualifying time of 15.42 seconds for the 300-yard Kindergarten by winning a division of the time trials on April 24 in his second start. Chicks First Flash was second by 1 3/4 lengths to Marcelo in a maiden special weight race at 220 yards on April 3. Marcelo did not start in the Kindergarten trials. :: Want the best bonus in racing?

Code: WINNING Owned by Five Livestock Company and Steve Wright, Chicks First Flash is one of five trial race winners in a field of 10 in the Kindergarten. Three horses who were second in the trials and two third-place finishers are among the finalists, determined by the 10 fastest times in the trials regardless of finishing positions. Chicks First Flash breaks from post 5, surrounded by well-regarded runners. One Sweet Bar, a trial race winner in 15.54 seconds, will break from post 4 for trainer Lindolfo Diaz. A gelding, One Sweet Bar won a division of the trials by 1 1/4 lengths after finishing second in his debut in a maiden special weight race at 220 yards on April 2. Muy Bien Corona starts from post 6 and is one of two runners in the field unbeaten in two starts. Muy Bien Corona, who won a maiden special weight race at 220 yards on March 26, won a division of the Kindergarten trials in 15.51 seconds as the 1-2 favorite for trainer Heath Taylor. Taylor told Los Alamitos publicity after the trials that Muy Bien Corona was scheduled to run later this month in time trials for the Ruidoso Futurity in New Mexico, but that he and owner Keith Nellesen thought the colt would be better suited to the Kindergarten. “This horse was always real forward and looked like he was going to mature early,” Taylor said. Arrossa leads all trainers with four finalists, including One Sweet Duck and Valiantli, who were trial race winners, and J Perfect Deal, who was third to Muy Bien Corona. Valiantli is unbeaten in two starts.
