The American Quarter Horse Racing Journal, July 6, 2007 – The Double Bar S Ranch’s Jess You And I, the 2006 champion 2-year-old gelding, returns after a compelling victory over All American Futurity winner No Secrets Here to be the standout in a field of seven sophomores in the $35,000 Vandy’s Flash Handicap over 400 yards on Saturday night at Los Alamitos.
The Jaime Gomez-trained Jess You And I (Feature Mr Jess-Gold Daze by Tolltac) won a virtual match race — there were only three starters — with No Secrets Here at Los Alamitos when he sprinted the 350 yards in a near-track-record :17.25 on June 21.
Last year, Jess You And I won his first five starts before being defeated in the Los Alamitos Two Million (G1). His biggest victory was a neck win over champion Blues Girl Too in the Golden State Million. Blues Girl Too went on to win the Los Alamitos Two Million.
Felix Gonzales’ A Mere Splash (Splash Bac-A Mere Classic by A Classic Dash) returns after winning the $145,000 Maiden Stakes on March 3. He raced to a three-quarter length win as the 7-10 favorite for trainer Adan Farias.
Sergio Morfin’s Skynlajolla (Streakin La Jolla-A Sky Hawk by Chicks Beduino) has started 17 times, but found his winning form in his latest three starts for trainer Chuck Treece. He comes off a hard-fought nose win in the Town Policy Handicap as an 11-1 outsider.
