DALLAS, TX–DECEMBER 13, 2023–StallioneSearch.com launched the 2023 LQHBA Louisiana Million Futurity(RG1) preview today.

The $1,000,000 LQHBA Louisiana Million (RG1) is the featured event on the Saturday night card (Dec. 16) at Evangeline Downs.   The race over the distance of 400 yards is the final event on an 11-race card that is packed with seven stakes races.

Hoztile Takeover has been set as the 5/2 morning line favorite.  Trainer Guillermo Martinez will saddle the fastest qualifier, from the first of 11 heats contested November 24.  This is his fourth futurity final of the year and regular rider Ubaldo Luna will be aboard.

One Sweet Sugar, earner of over $500,000 already this year, and Eyesa Freighttrain B, winner of the LA Laddie Futurity at Delta Downs, will draw some wagering attention as well.  Both have won four times this year, which top the Million field. Jasiel Aquino rides One Sweet Sugar and Sabino Reyes will be aboard Eyesa Freighttrain B. 

Champion jockey Francisco Calderon has been named to take over the ride from Aquino aboard second fastest qualifier The Knockout Power. Calderon has already set an all-time earnings record this year at more than $7.1 million.
