A pair of New Mexico-breds, Sacred Stone and KO Calyx RF, have qualified to the May 22 Pfizer SunRay Park Starter Allowance Challenge.
Sacred Stone and KO Calyx RF ran third and sixth, respectively, in the second of two trials at the Farmington, New Mexico, track on Sunday. A 5-year-old gelding by The Down Side racing for Jerry and Jeanette Rogers' Rogers Farm and trained by Gerald Richards, Sacred Stone finished one length behind winner and fastest qualifier Ocean Fun.
