Not Quite a Dream Matchup This Time

Catchmeinyourdreams, who defeated reigning world co-champion Whosleavingwho earlier this year, won’t have to face that level of competition in tonight’s $15,000 Silver Strand Handicap.

A 4-year-old Utah-bred gelding trained by Chris O’Dell for owner Kirk Goodfellow, Catchmeinyourdreams was 25-1 when he upset Whosleavingwho in the California Challenge Championship May 31.

Whosleavingwho, who won the Vessels Maturity a week ago, turned the tables less than a month later in the Spencer Childers, but Catchmeinyourdreams ran well again. He finished second, half a length ahead of Bobcat Bob.

In the 350-yard Silver Strand, Catchmeinyourdreams, who was bred by Ed Allred, will break from the outside in the field of five and will be ridden by Cody Jensen.

The picks: 1. Dash For Apollo. 2. Cee Miss Tizzy. 3. Chavelita Miss. 4. Striking Miss Julie. 5. Zee Wayne. 6. Dareto. 7. Valiantly. 8. Tylers Cash Flow. 9. Catchmeinyourdreams. 10. Corona Too.

Four! Single Dash For Apollo in the first, use Cee Me Tizzy, Siberian Snow and Silky Goose in the second, Incredible Lies, Chavelita Miss and Shusifly in the third and Striking Miss Julie, Cathedral and Royal Snow Bunny in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Docs Flying Card returns to Los Alamitos in the seventh for trainer Jesus Nunez. Hrf Jetaway Dash debuts for trainer Danny Cardoza in the 10th.
