Some races are simply more exciting than others.
Some exude anticipation as part of the natural process and at Evangeline Downs Race Track in Carencro, the Shine Young Memorial Futurity is one of those races. A total of 28 juveniles have made it to this point and the group has been divided into three heats for tonight's qualifying with the top four from each race moving on to the stakes competition. Of the others with experience, Rapide, a son of Zuppardo's Prince, had the best showing when he closed to within a head of the winner's circle in his only start. The third and final trial of the night seems to be center stage for Doris Hebert's Abagfullofit, a 6-length winner in his only start, to again strut his stuff. He'll be pushed by Edna's Fancy, the Doc Atty filly that missed in her only trip by just a nose.
