Double Our Flag Still Looking Out for No. 1

Will the 55th time be the charm for Double Our Flag?

Almost certainly, no, but to find out the answer, check out tonight’s third race at 4 1/2 furlongs under jockey Nilo Brum.

A 9-year-old gelded son of Skip Out Front, Double Our Flag will be making his Los Alamitos debut after 54 losses while racing in Northern California for owner, trainer and breeder Monte Gomes.

In his illustrious career, Double Our Flag has managed to be second twice and third on seven occasions, but he has been no better than fifth in six races this year while racing at Golden Gate Fields and Bay Meadows.

The picks: 1. Splash Of Gucci. 2. Rate Cut. 3. Kilroywas Here. 4. Moon Will Show. 5. Induction Day. 6. Chenilles Dasher. 7. Move It. 8. Rodeoin Roxy. 9. Hello Gene. 10. Highly Conceited.

Four! Single Splash Of Gucci in the first, Rate Cut, Groupy and On A Nitro High in the second, Star Of Stage and Kilroywas Here in the third and First Dance Dasher, This Girls Talkin, Moon Will Show and Elainas Snowplow in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Uwinthegreen could fire after a layoff in the fifth. The Rainbow Roulette could improve in his second career start for trainer Blane Schvaneveldt in the 10th.

Post time: 5:30 p.m.
