Bella Dona (pictured) and Mark’s Warrior — both stakes winners during the Ruidoso Downs summer meet — will make their next starts in Saturday’s 6-furlong New Mexico State Fair Thoroughbred Futurity (R) trials at Albuquerque Downs.

An undefeated daughter of Attila’s Storm racing for Robert Driggers, Del Rae Driggers, and Ben Lee Ivey, Bella Dona will be stretching out in distance off of her wire-to-wire, 4 1/4-length victory in the 5 1/2-furlong, $125,000 Rio Grande Senorita Futurity (R) for state-bred 2-year-old fillies at Ruidoso Downs on August 15. The filly has won all three of her starts and has earned $75,929.

Bella Dona is one of five winners from as many starters produced by Charlotte’s Drone, an unplaced daughter of the Full Choke stallion B.G.’s Drone, and she is a full sister to three-time stakes winner Tilla Cat and a half to stakes winner Lariat. The homebred filly drew post 2 and will be ridden by Jimmy Ray Coates for trainer Simon Buechler in the second of two trials.

Mark’s Warrior is a homebred son of the Bernardini stallion Marking campaigned by Dale F. Taylor Racing and trained by Todd Fincher. The gelding has banked $66,533 from four races, and he broke his maiden with a come-from-behind half-length score in the 5 1/2-furlong, $116,000 Rio Grande Senor Futurity (R) for New Mexico-bred colts and geldings at Ruidoso Downs on August 15.

Mark’s Warrior is a half brother to 2020 Mountain Top Futurity (R) winner My Storm Warrior. The gelding drew post 3 and will be ridden by Alfredo Sigala in the second heat.

The first heat is headed by morning-line favorite Lonzo Who, a homebred stakes-placed son of the Indian Charlie stallion Comfort trained by Todd Fincher for owners Sam E. Stevens and Sammy L. Stevens of Lamesa, Texas. Lonzo Who is coming off of a Ruidoso Downs summer campaign during which he banked $36,581 from four starts and ran second, 1 1/4 lengths behind winner Marked, in the 5-furlong, $124,000 Mountain Top Futurity (R) on June 26.

Lonzo Who is one of four winners from as many starters produced by the winning Not For Love mare Weekends For Love, and he is a half brother to 2020 Manzano Stakes runner-up Jonathan Who. The gelding drew post 3 and will be ridden by Rodolfo Guerra.

The first trial also drew Maurcenia Cross’ Emmys Silver, a homebred Mr. Trieste filly who scored a come-from-behind, one-length victory in her career debut, a 5-furlong, $20,000 maiden-special-weight race for New Mexico-bred 2-year-olds at Ruidoso Downs on August 13. Emmys Silver is one of four winners from five starters foaled by Silver Stairs, a daughter of the Mr. Prospector stallion Demidofff who won two stakes for Illinois-breds at Hawthorne Racecourse near Chicago in 2008, including the $106,700 Lady Hallie Stakes (R).

Emmys Silver drew post 2 and will be ridden by Luis Colon for trainer Gary Cross.

The top six finishers from each trial will meet in the September 19, $200,000-est. New Mexico State Fair Thoroughbred Futurity final.
