A sorrel son of Sir Runaway Dash, JLS Dashn And Zoomn races for Jose and Yolanda Guzman’s J and Y Racing and is trained by Brenda Foster. The gelding has banked $487,510 from 10 starts, and his win streak includes a half-length victory in the November 29, $1-million LQHBA Futurity (RG1) at Evangeline Downs, Louisiana’s richest race for any breed.
JLS Dashn And Zoomn drew post 7 and will be ridden by Raul Ramirez Jr.
Other contenders include Dashacrossyourmind, a stakes-winning Heza Fast Dash colt owned by Brock Brossard and Jacque Bourque and trained by Kevin Broussard. The 10th-fastest qualifier, Dashacrossyourmind ran second, 1 1/2 lengths behind JLS Dashn And Zoomn, in the 350-yard, $25,000 Bill Montgomery Stakes (R) at Louisiana Downs on January 17.
