About
First Down Karma, a 3yo horse bred in the United States and trained by Matthew M. Fales, is by the stallion Tell Cartel out of the mare First Down Sass. The gelding has secured three victories, the most notable being the $45,000 Desert Classic Futurity at Turf Paradise on April 30, 2025. It has been a lucrative prospect for bettors; wagering on the horse over its entire run would have yielded a 50% return on investment.
