The second-fastest qualifier and post-time favorite, Stripsteak closed from fourth to first dur- ing the final 100 yards, emerging at the lead of a blanket finish.

by Tracy Gantz
Globito captured the first stakes of his career in the 220-yard $20,000 Evangeline Downs Dash on Oct. 5.
With Luis Vivanco in the irons, Globito broke sec- ond from the 6-gate and immediately took command. Despite drifting in, he lengthened his advantage throughout the contest and defeated favored JRS Taylors Runnaway by 3/4-length in :11.570, posting a 107 speed index.
Josue Huitron trains Globito for breeder/owner Isabel Huitron. Prior to the Evangeline Downs Dash, Globito took two allowance races at the Gillespie Fair over the summer where he set a 220-yard New Track Record in one of those.

off a victory in the Gentilly Dash Stakes. Luciano Duenez piloted Ms Leaving You (Coronas Leaving You-Ms Pilot Point) to third for owners McGehee Horse and Cattle LLC and trainer Kenneth Weeks.
