- Share via
Out Of The Best, ridden by James Lackey, took his first victory of the year with a 1-length winning margin Wednesday in the feature race at Los Alamitos.
After failing to win in nine appearances this year for leading trainer Blane Schvaneveldt, Out Of The Best broke quickly from the far outside post position and was never challenged in the 350-yard claiming event. He finished in 17.71 seconds.
The Texas-bred gelding returned $4.40, $2.80 and $2.10. Chickamo, a sophomore son of Merridoc ridden by John Creager, paid $2.60 and $2.10. Escape Jet, ridden by Roman Figueroa, paid $2.20 to show.
