They Make Winning Claim With Inkys Beda Roses

Inkys Beda Roses has to be considered one of the best claims in recent memory.

Taken for $2,500 by trainer Juan Aleman for owner Juan Alberto Tirado Lizarraga in January, the 4-year-old Beda Cheng mare has won five of six races since while moving up the ladder.

After victories against $2,500, $5,000, $8,000, $16,000 and $25,000 claimers, the Oregon-bred will try to beat allowance rivals in tonight’s ninth at 350 yards.

Second in her lone defeat for Aleman, Inkys Beda Roses was dominant in her latest win, beating Wcr Rubys Fame by two lengths as the 2-1 favorite earlier this month.

Ramon Sanchez will ride the mare, who will break from Post 3 in the field of seven.

The mare to fear most is Yak Ity Yak Go. The consistent 4-year-old has been worse than third only once in her last 10 starts for owner Cathy Ray and trainer Jesus Enriquez.

The picks: 1. Richardsawesomestar. 2. Chicks Takin Cash. 3. Just A Berry. 4. Funny Secret. 5. A Choice Effort. 6. True Houston. 7. Call Me Corona. 8. Rebel Eyes. 9. Inkys Beda Roses. 10. Bac On Target.

Four! Single Call Me Corona in the seventh, Rebel Eyes, Bcr Grab The Cash and Safe Harbor in the eighth, Yak Ity Yak Go and Inkys Beda Roses in the ninth and Bac On Target, Tell Em Jamie, Dashing Jess Perry and Scarlet Special in the 10th.
