A total of 91 state-bred 2-year-olds have been entered in Friday's 300-yard New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG2) trials at Sunland Park.

Queen But A King, a brown son of the late Chicks A Blazin racing for Solitaire Stable and Machelle Vanecek and trained by Henry Dominguez, is the 2-1 morning-line favorite in the sixth of 10 trials. The colt made his career debut with a 2 1/2-length victory as the 5-2 choice in a 300-yard maiden special weight race for state-breds on March 1.

Other prominent 2-year-olds entered in the trials include recent maiden winners Penny Snatchin and Moonifisant. A homebred filly by Gone To The Mountain campaigned by Jill B.

The morning-line favorite in the 10th trial, Moonifisant was a prompt 2-1 favorite in his March 1 debut for owners Peter B. Gallegos, Robert D. Sanchez, and J. Patricia Gonzalez. The brown colt by Sixes Royal is trained by Juan M. Gonzalez, and he is a half brother to 2009 AQHA champion aged stallion First Moonflash.
