One Fabulous Dynasty will put his four-race win streak on the line in Friday's 400-yard, $42,262 Adequan Prairie Meadows Derby Challenge Stakes at Prairie Meadows.
A son of One Fabulous Eagle trained by Robert Johnson for owners Deanna Anderson and Casey J. Foster, One Fabulous Dynasty ships in from Wyoming, where he won both of his outs at Energy Downs last spring, including the 350-yard, $100,000 Gillette Derby on June 9. The colt's streak also includes a 1 1/4-length victory in the May 18, $46,000 Dan Lockie Derby at Miles City, Montana.
One Fabulous Dynasty drew post 3 and will be ridden by Luis A. Maldonado.
Other contenders include Sheza Famous Candy, a daughter of One Famous Eagle trained by Jason Olmstead for owners Thomas Scheckel. A $72,000 purchase at the 2022 Heritage Place Yearling Sale, the filly has won three of her six races at Prairie Meadows, including last year's John Deere Prairie Meadows Juvenile Challenge Stakes.
Sheza Famous Candy drew post 12 and will be ridden by Ramiro H. Garcia.
The winner of this race will earn a berth in the October 26 Adequan Derby Challenge Championship (G3) at Albuquerque Downs.
