Xtra Heat's first foal, Southwestern Heat, will make his Maryland debut as a 2-1 morning-line favorite in a $30,000 maiden race at Laurel Park on Wednesday.
Xtra Heat, formerly a dominant female sprinter based at Laurel, won the 2001 Eclipse Award for top 3-year-old filly.
Southwestern Heat, a son of Gone West, was transferred to the barn of Tim Salzman two months ago after starting five times in Kentucky under trainer Dale Romans, recording three third-place finishes.
