Jones pair head Go Man Go

Leading trainer Paul Jones will send out the 2002 world champion, Whosleavingwho, and Meteoric in the Grade 1, $100,000 Go Man Go Handicap on Saturday night at Los Alamitos.

Whosleavingwho and Meteoric each prepared for their fall stakes campaigns with 350-yard allowance victories at Los Alamitos. On July 29, Whosleavingwho won a nose decision in 17.41 seconds, and on Aug. 15 Meteoric scored a half-length victory in 17.60 seconds after being bumped at the start.

"Both horses came out of their races really well," Jones said. "Whosleavingwho looks as good as he ever has."

In 2003, Whosleavingwho raced to Grade 1 wins in the Los Alamitos Winter Championship, Spencer Childers Championship, and the Go Man Go. His allowance win was his first start since finishing in fourth place in the Champion of Champions on Dec. 13.

Meteoric's allowance win was his first start since being second by a nose in the Los Alamitos Winter Championship on Feb. 28. As a juvenile in 2002, he was second in the Los Alamitos Million and third in the All American Futurity.

AB What a Runner, winner of the 2002 All American Futurity, comes into the Go Man Go with three Grade 1 wins at Los Alamitos in the past year, the Los Alamitos Derby, the Mildred Vessels Invitational, and the Charger Bar Handicap.
