For the first time in more than seven months, Whosleavingwho was a loser.

The co-world champion of 2002 was upset by 25-1 shot Catchmeinyourdreams in the $63,450 MBNA America California Challenge last Saturday night.

Owned by Kirk Goodfellow and trained by Chris O’Dell, the 4-year-old gelded son of Pritzi Dash won by a half-length to earn his first victory in California. His win qualified him for the $300,000 Challenge Championship on Nov. 1 at Los Alamitos.

Ridden by Cody Jensen, Catchmeinyourdreams completed the 440 yards in 21.56 seconds, the fastest time of the meet for the distance.
