NEW ORLEANS, LA—AUGUST 19, 2014—A full field of 10 sprinters, headed by the streaking Scream N Eagle, has been entered in Saturday’s 250-yard, $40,000 Gentilly Dash Stakes at Fair Grounds Racecourse.

A 4-year-old gelding by One Famous Eagle racing for Alberto Velazquez Jr.’s Triumph Stables Inc., Scream N Eagle brings in a three-race win streak that includes a neck victory in the 300-yard, $20,000 Pair A Dice Stakes at Delta Downs on July 3.

Jesus Garrido trains Scream N Eagle, who drew post 6 and will be ridden by Randy Edison.

Other contenders include Open Me A Corona, a graded stakes winning 4-year-old Coronas Leaving You stallion campaigned by Charles Forbes Jr. and Tommy Hays from the barn of Bobby Martinez.
