West Coast Okie Finds a Home in California

West Coast Okie will try for his second win in three starts at Los Alamitos in the $37,400 Corona Chick Handicap tonight.

Owned and trained by Adan Farias, the 2-year-old, Washington-bred gelding will break from the outside under jockey Rodrigo Aceves in the field of six.

Since arriving from Oregon, West Coast Okie finished fourth in his California debut on Aug. 15, then five weeks later won the Pomona Juvenile Challenge at Fairplex Park. The son of Okey Dokey Dale followed that up with a nose victory over Billyjeanthequeen in the Autumn Handicap at Los Alamitos on Oct. 10. Tonight’s race will be his first at 400 yards.

Farias also will send out Myster Quick Fix, who has won three of 10. The rest of the field is Sensual Lady, A Megadash, the Paul Jones-trained Prankster Cf and Corona Fria.

The picks: 1. Charmier. 2. Slew Buck. 3. Cash Received. 4. Rocket Run. 5. Mighty Fine Dash. 6. Nashua’s Asset. 7. With Reflections. 8. Royalty. 9. West Coast Okie. 10. Kenricia.

Four! With Reflections and Babe With Rhythm in the seventh, Royalty, Really Western and Sell Short in the eighth, West Coast Okie in the ninth and Straw Poll, Kenricia and Kash to Splash in the 10th.

Shots in the dark: Nurse Debbi needs a trouble-free trip in the first. Meters Honor steps up two levels in the fifth after being claimed by trainer Farias.

Post time: 6:30 p.m.
