Despite having a rough time recently, California Flag has just seen a rare victory. The horse has been a powerful contender in the races it has been in, and took an important victory last year. This was the last one it took aside from the race on Wednesday. The 2009 win in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint was that victory. Wednesday brought newfound hope, as California Flag beat all the competition at the $102,175 Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar. The 6-year-old gelding appeared in great form on the track.

Trainer Brian Koriner hopes that the victory will push the horse and the team into the 2010 BC Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs in November. So much of horseracing is preparation and practice, the actual races last only minutes. The tradition in horse racing runs deep, and for many, it is an extremely personal experience visiting the tracks to watch the races. On many occasions, people make fortunes betting on their favorite horses. Saratoga Horse Betting

California Flag won the five-furlong turf sprint. The magnificent animal looked to be in amazing shape, and really took to the track well. The race came down to the last minutes, and the victory was won by a nose. Competitors were dismayed when California Flag took the lead. Its record hasn’t been the greatest this year, so it was an unexpected victory.

California Flag beat out Quick Enough and My Summer Slew, who finished in a dead heat for second. Cost of Freedom, the Grade 1 winner who was making his turf debut, finished fourth, beaten by a half-length. The rest of the year looks good for California Flag. If the team can keep up the training, there is limitless potential. The 6-year-old gelding has many years of experience and training on much of its competition, and will continue to deliver strong races if everything goes according to plan. California Flag was ridden by Mike Smith and was timed in 55.58 seconds. Be sure and follow it all at Horse Betting.
