LOS ALAMITOS RACE COURSE, CYPRESS, CA… Pedro Barbizan Santiago Leite’s Miss Isao Jqm will go after her richest stakes win of the meet when she faces New Mexico invader and graded stakes winner Chicka Boom Baby and the multiple stakes placed filly Beach Walk in the running of the $75,000 Abigail Kawanakoa Stakes at 350 yards on Saturday night at Los Alamitos.

A full field of 10 distaffers will race in the Abigail, which is the final leg of the Pick 6 sequence, which will feature a carryover of $32,390. With the new money to be wagered on Saturday, the total pool in the Pick 6 should be over $120,000.

Miss Isao Jqm will also be going after her third stakes victory of the year after scoring in the Dashingly in January and then the Virginia Hyland in April. The 6-year-old Brazilian-bred mare has been a standout in the local stakes division, finishing second or better in all four of her starts at that level plus also running second in a strong allowance event on February 1.

The 350-yard distance is right up Miss Isao Jqm as all her success this season has come at that distance. Trained by James Glenn, Jr. and ridden by Eduardo Nicasio, Miss Isao Jqm does enter this race after running second to the brilliant Grade 1 winning 3-year-old filly Shaken Goin On in the Grade 2 Miss Princess Handicap on May 4. The Brazilian won the Ginger Hyland by a neck over One Sweet Duck and the Dashingly by a half-length over Temple Court. One Sweet Duck and Temple Court will both look to avenge those defeats in the Abigail.

Robert Driggers and Ben Ivey’s Chicka Boom Baby arrives with five wins and $273,147 in her outstanding career. Previously trained by Wes Giles and conditioned locally by Albert Valles, Chicka Boom Baby won the Restricted Grade 2 New Mexico Classic Futurity in 2023 and has finished second in last year’s Zia Derby and third in both the (RG1) New Mexico Filly & Mare Championship Stakes in 2024 and Grade 2 Lou...

Race 1 – HKU FACULTIES OF ARTS AND EDUCATION PLATE

13 Winning Champion was luckless on debut and made good late ground. He is drawn the right part of the track and is an each-way play at odds. #2 The All Out was an impressive debut winner but scratched at the gates on his intended second start. He resumes here after trialling well twice. #1 Quick Money finished second to The All Out on debut and franked the form with an easy second-up win before another honest effort when narrowly beaten third-up. #4 Motor did not get much room last start but was close up in fourth and is another to consider.

Race 2 – HKU FACULTIES OF LAW AND MEDICINE HANDICAP

4 Celtic Times makes his first Class 5 appearance and has trialled well. He looks ready to show something for the stable since the move three runs back. #1 Beautiful Win will get a sweet run from barrier 4. He ran well in his first Class 5 run, a close up third, and can be thereabouts again. #7 Family Fortune was better than it...
