Owned and bred by Reed Land & Cattle Co., LLC and trained by J effrey Heath Reed, Absolute Treasure cruised to an impressive one length win in his trial race under champion jockey G.R. Carter.

The two-year-old gelding by grade 3 stakes winner DESIRIO , handled 300 yards over a fast track in :15.565 seconds. The Oklahoma-bred is out of the Stoli mare, Absolut Fortune.

2010 will be the first full crop of two-year-olds to go to the track by DESIRIO . He had one winner last season from a test crop of two foals to race.

The ten fastest qualifiers from 100 head that started in Saturday's trial races will return on March 20 to compete in the Oklahoma Futurity finals. The Grade 2 event is the longest running futurity in American Quarter Horse racing, having started in 1947.
