Breeders’ Cup Challenge Results: California Flag Wins Morvich Handicap at Santa Anita Park September 30
Posted on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009
California Flag won the $100,000 Morvich Handicap for the second year in a row on the opening day of Santa Anita’s Oak Tree meeting Wednesday, September 30.
The 5-year-old gray gelding California Flag earned an automatic spot in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint on November 7 at Santa Anita Park as part of the Breeders’ Cup 2009 “Win & You’re In” Challenge. This will be a chance for California Flag to make up for last year when he finished 10th in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint after a quick pace wore him out.
With jockey Joe Talamo aboard, California Flag maintained his usual front-running style in the Morvich Handicap, covering 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course in a course record 1:11.40 to win by a length.
