Jesses Wish (pictured), a son of Jesse James Jr and the fastest qualifier, heads a field of 10 state-bred 2-year-olds entered back in Sunday’s 300-yard, $313,030 New Mexican Spring Futurity (RG2) at Sunland Park.

A $50,000 yearling purchase at last year’s New Mexico-Bred Sale at Ruidoso Downs, Jesses Wish made his career debut with a clear 1 3/4-length victory in the sixth of eight trials on March 12. The bay gelding is out of Wish You Had One To, a winning and multiple graded stakes placed daughter of Stel Corona, and he is a full brother to the graded stakes placed Jess Tequila Talkin.

Jesses Wish drew post 7 and will be ridden by Mario Delgado for owners Javier M. Chavez and Heysol Howlet, and trainer James Gonzales III.

Trainer Eric Valenzuela will send out three finalists, including second-fastest qualifier Mr Tres Effort. A homebred son of the Feature Mr Jess stallion TF Featured Effort owned by Carlos F. Paez, Mr Tres Effort is coming off of a 1 1/2-length win in the seventh New Mexican Spring Futurity trial.

Mr Tres Effort is out of Beyond 15, a winning Desirio mare and a finalist in the 2015 Four Corners Futurity at SunRay Park. The gelding drew post 6 and will be ridden by Luis Flores-Garcia.
