🐎 2025 LOS ALAMITOS FUTURITY — HORSE-BY-HORSE PREVIEW

Post 1 — Acknowlegemeplz (Trainer: Doug O’Neill)
Elite early speed, two sharp Beyers, and a love for the rail. This horse has one message for the field: Acknowledge me, please. But can sprint brilliance stretch to two turns?

Post 2 — Provenance (Trainer: Bob Baffert)
By Into Mischief and out of Monomoy Girl — this colt has a pedigree made in heaven. With Baffert guiding him, Provenance looks ready to live up to his origin story.

Post 3 — Litmus Test (Trainer: Bob Baffert)
Four starts, multiple Grade 1 runs, and the only horse proven at this 1 1/16-mile distance. As his name suggests, he’s the true test for everyone else.

Post 4 — Blacksmith (Trainer: Bob Baffert)
Still a maiden, but firing bullet workouts and built for classic distances. The question is whether he’s ready to forge a breakthrough on Futurity day.

Post 5 — American King (Trainer: Ruben Gomez)
American Pharoah × Bernardini gives him royalty in his blood, but he’s still searching for the crown. Will this be the race where the King earns his throne?

Post 6 — Captivator (Trainer: John Sadler)
Speedy, improving, and coming off a 10-length victory. With the right trip, this colt could captivate the field — but the added distance is the true test.
