Tremendous Field Set For Vandy’s Flash Handicap

LOS ALAMITOS, CA—JUNE 24, 2017—Six weeks ago, many racing observers rated the field to the Dillingham Handicap as one of the best in the stakes’ history with runners like Stelfast, Lotta Blues Man and Bannister among those in that 400-yard dash.

Now a similar thing could be said about the strong field in this year’s Vandy’s Flash Handicap, as the 400-yard event will have an all-star cast of Quarter Horses headed by the return to the track of Grade 1 Los Alamitos Winter Derby winner Imaqtpie, a daughter of leading sire One Famous Eagle.

Other top names in the seven-horse field will include the aforementioned Stelfast, winner of the El Primero Del Ano Derby and the Dillingham, and 2016 Golden State Million Futurity winner Lotta Blues Man, a five-time winner of $875,763 in his career.

This strong cast will also include two-time stakes winner Bannister, California Breeders Freshman Stakes winner Favorite Aquaholic and recent allowance winner Hold Sway.

The nine-race card on Saturday will also feature the return to action of Bemused, owner of the fastest 300-yard dash of the meet. She’ll head the eighth.
