Legacy Ranch’s Wicked Affair posted the fastest clocking from the 38 2-year-olds that posted gate drills on Tuesday morning. Trained by Terry Knight, Wicked Affair covered the 220 yards in :12.3.
The homebred filly is by One Sweet Jess and out of Burr Cold, a two-time allowance winner at Los Alamitos during her 10-race career. Burr Cold’s dam is Tender Flyer, a stakes winner of over $68,000. It’s in the breeding shed that Tender Flyer has made the most impact. She is the mother of Flying Fig, the champion 2-year-old filly in 2010. Flying Fig earned $806,920 in her racing career while finishing second in the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity, Ed Burke Million Futurity, and Golden State Million Futurity. Tender Flyer is also the dam of stakes winners Visual Man and California Eagle and of Platki, who posted the fastest qualifying time to the Ed Burke Million Futurity last year. This is also the family of Ed Burke Memorial Futurity winner Heza Secret Diamond.
There were five 2-year-olds that recorded :12.4 clockings on Tuesday headed by the Monty Arrossa-trained duo of Budbreak and Stevieb Flashofcash, a pair of Los Alamitos Equine Sale graduates. Purchased for $22,000, Budbreak is a gelding by FDD Dynasty and out of Paint Your Beau. A daughter of Pyc Paint Your Wagon, Paint Your Beau broke her maiden at first asking over a field that included Grade 1 winner A Toss Up in 2011. Paint Your Beau would later run sixth to Mighty B Valiant in the Remington Park Oklahoma Bred Futurity and second in the King William Handicap at Retama Park in 2013. She also won an allowance race at Will Rogers Downs. Budbreak is from the family of Ruidoso Futurity winner Okey Dokey Fantasy ($576,521), Fast Debonair ($455,658) and 2004 Los Alamitos Maiden Stakes winner Royal Medallion.
