Streakin Sin Tacha Makes Name for Himself

Owner-trainer Janet Van Bebber has a horse in the $500,000 Champion of Champions, which will be run Dec. 14, and his name is not Tailor Fit.

Streakin Sin Tacha, a 4-year-old gelding, earned a spot in the Grade I race with a decisive victory in the $300,000 MBNA American Challenge Championship Saturday night at Lone Star Park.

Tailor Fit, last year’s Champion of Champions winner also trained by Van Bebber, was among the horses beaten by Streakin Sin Tacha. Ridden by Alvin Brossette, the son of Streakin La Jolla completed the 440 yards in 21.279 seconds. Other qualifiers for the Champion of Champions include Corona Kool, Whosleavingwho and A Ransom.

On the same night, A Secret Account earned his sixth career stakes victory at Los Alamitos when he won the $15,000 Cash Rate Handicap.

The picks: 1. Tylers Cash Flow. 2. Magical Nick. 3. Pals Eyes. 4. Dreamer Beamer. 5. Whispering Lies. 6. Wilyacrossmyvalle. 7. One Fast Cartel. 8. Loose Fly.

Four! Use Whispering Lies, Corona Blurr and Especially Wicked in the fifth, Wilyacrossmyvalle in the sixth, One Fast Cartel and Chicks Rapidash in the seventh and Princess Of The Moon, Sheza Dashin and Loose Fly in the eighth.

Shots in the dark: Jazzing High Five appears in a soft spot in the first. Kooba Dash is better than his recent would indicate and could bounce back in the second.

Post Time: 7:15 p.m.
