Ganster Will Try to Make It Three in a Row

Showing no signs of slowing down at age 11, Ganster will try for his 24th lifetime victory in tonight’s seventh, an $8,000 claimer at 350 yards.

A California-bred son of Chicks Beduino, Ganster, a gray gelding, has won two in a row and was re-claimed by owner-trainer Paul Jones for $5,000 out of his latest victory on June 19.

Ridden by Hector Cuevas in all five of his starts in 2004, which includes three victories, Ganster, who has earned over $251,000 in his career, will be handled tonight by Ramon Sanchez.

Others entered the race: Nora Gvl, Dicey Sis, Raise A Brewski, Jjs Dashing, Hes Ready To Rumble, Blues Dasher and Metamorphosis.

Like Ganster, Jjs Dashing was claimed out of his last start, a victory against $5,000 claimers at Grants Pass on May 31.

The son of Pritzi Dash will be debuting for owner Jimmie Easter and trainer James Glenn Jr.

The picks: 1. Recycle Mike. 2. A Cashin. 3. Natural Balance. 4. Runnen Red Lites. 5. Bootleg And Susy. 6. A Wild Ride. 7. Ganster. 8. Worthy Contender. 9. Mr Sig.

Four! That Close and Recycle Mike in the first, Cryin Lyin And Tryin, A Cashin and Down Town Diva in the second, Natural Balance, Chicago Joe and Induction Day in the third and Runnen Red Lites in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Nefertiri could be a threat from off the pace in her second for trainer Chuck Treece in the fifth. Rail Skimmer tries a shorter trip for Treece in the ninth.
