Valiantly Tries to Extend Win Streak to Six

Valiantly, who hasn’t lost in more than 13 months, will try to keep her roll going tonight in the $107,000 PCQHRA Breeders’ Derby at 400 yards.

A 3-year-old daughter of Corona Cartel owned by Fiorencia Garcia and trained by Felix Gonzalez, Valiantly has won five in a row since finishing fourth in an allowance race on Aug. 22 last year.

In qualifying for the Breeders’ Derby, a Grade II, Valiantly won her heat by a half-length under regular rider Eddie Garcia.

Trainer Carlos Lopez will have three starters in the race -- Suzy Cartel, Special Queen Sa, who was second to Valiantly in the trial on Sept. 20, and Azyoucansee.

Chicks Jet Set Baby, Stel Corona, Whispering Lies, Chickie Cherry Cola, Red Lipstick and Doreme Fasolasi Win round out the field.
