Bellflower Handicap Will Be Family Affair

Two fillies sired by multiple stakes winner Corona Cartel go head to head tonight at 350 yards in the $15,000 Bellflower Handicap.

Corona Six Pack will be trying for her fourth consecutive win. Corona Perfection, who finished sixth last time out, has looked much better in workouts.

Also entered are Crashin Bac and Rusty Quickid, who are coming off allowance wins. Bee Dashing, who won several handicaps in 2001, Sheza Ramblin Too and Sweet Ribbons from Ruidoso Downs complete the field.

Track owner Edward C. Allred is giving away a racehorse from his stable at today’s Angel-Seattle Mariner game at Edison Field. The winner is guaranteed a minimum of $100 each time the horse runs in a two-month span.... Check Him Out set a stakes record of 19.62 seconds over 400 yards to win Friday’s $117,000 PCQHRA Breeders Derby.

The picks: 1. Gauchochick, 2. Ang ‘n’ Syn, 3. Breaking Up, 4. Snappy Ruler, 5. Movenit, 6. Ageless, 7. He’s Gone Native, 8. Corona Six Pack, 9. McKaizless Kiss.

Four: Take Ageless in the sixth, He’s Gone Native and Gorsuch in the seventh, Corona Six Pack, Sweet Ribbons and Crashin Bac in the eighth, and the duo of McKaizless Kiss and Kiss Me Outta Here in the ninth.

Shots in the dark: In the fourth, Posies Signature has shown steady improvement. In the fifth, can jockey Joe Badilla Jr. return Sunday Blush to form? In the eighth, Sweet Ribbons is running alongside Corona Six Pack in the middle of the pack.
