These Two Stakes Races Will Be Color-Fast

Two stakes races for paints are the main events on tonight’s card.

Cha Cha Chickie, a 3-year-old Easy Jet Too filly who has won eight of 11, heads the field in the $23,300 Starburst Derby, and 10 2-year-olds will get together in the $49,450 Starburst Futurity.

Owned by Robin Moraga and trainer Connie Hall, Cha Cha Chickie has not been worse than second in her career and will go over $100,000 in career earnings with a finish in the top two. Ramon Sanchez will ride the California-bred.
