Chicky Do Run Run Chases Third in a Row

Continuing his move up the class ladder, Chicky Do Run Run will try for his third consecutive win in tonight’s seventh, a $12,550 allowance at 350 yards.

Owned by Bob Grimes and trained by Paul Jones, the 4-year-old gray gelding beat $16,000 claimers by a length on Dec. 22, then moved up to the $50,000 level and won again on Jan. 23.

A winner of five of 16 lifetime, the California-bred will again be ridden by Ramon Sanchez and he has only four opponents in this race.

One of those lining up to face Chicky Do Run Run, who beat Zee Wayne by a neck in his latest victory, is Fabulous Formation. A 4-year-old son of Rare Form, the Texas-bred has been idle since Oct. 19, 2001. Joe Badilla Jr. will ride for trainer Carlos Lopez.

Before he went to the bench, Fabulous Formation had one win in six starts but made the board on three other occasions.

The picks: 1. Tylers Cash Flow. 2. Raging Roman. 3. Fishers Good Time. 4. Ourenay. 5. Adams County. 6. Reeking Havoc. 7. Chicky Do Run Run. 8. Flying Tapestry.

Four! Use Direct and Tylers Cash Flow in the first, Raging Roman and Drivers Seat in the second, single the Fishers Good Time-Foxie Lady Fisher entry in the third and Ourenay, Departure Time, Cielo Canosa and Rugger in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Timothy Pilot switches to jockey Alex Bautista in the sixth. Gimme Glory steps up after a claim by trainer Donna McArthur in the eighth.

Post time: 5:30 p.m.
