Flying Breed Stakes
HEASABLACKMAGIC
by Michael Compton
Heasablackmagic just missed in a pair of starts prior to the Flying Breed Stakes at Delta Downs, but the game 7-year-old gelding put it all together and
utilized a solid late rally to score the second stakes win of his career in the 220-yard dash on July 7.
Ridden by Jesse Levario, Heasablackmagic raced in 2nd position away from the 3-gate. He engaged leader Di Maria, shrugging off that rival and then held at bay a late rush from Sweet Bru, who had defeated him in their prior meeting, to prevail by a neck. Heasablackmagic stopped the timer in a swift :11.657. The final time earned a speed index of 106. Telma Loya trains the gelding.
With the win, Heasablackmagic improved his career mark to 29-9(2)-5(2)-4(2) and increased
his bankroll to $203,390 for owner Yiret Duran. Heasablackmagic’s additional stakes victory came in the 2016 Par A Dice Stakes at Delta Downs. He also was second in the 2014 Louisiana Champions Day Derby-RG3 at Fair Grounds.
Bred in Louisiana by Gerald Paul Vidrine, Heasablackmagic is out of the winning mare Toast Of Magic and is a half-brother to stakes-placed runners Look Of Magic and Acoronas Toast. Heasablackmagic is her top earner and first stakes winner.
Sweet Bru (Embrujo FG-Dashin Sweetpea) and jockey Floriberto Maldonado just missed for owner Jose Ortiz and trainer Gary Mason.
BJS Magic Wings (Dragon Wings-Magic Shine) and Luciano Duenez were third for owner Lester Colomb and trainer Kenneth Weeks.
Bubba Mallard (Sir Runaway Dash-Miss Mallard), Di Maria (Tee Cos-Tell Brenda), Scoopies Leaving You (Coronas Leaving You-Ms Scoopies Toast), Mayor Stoli (Stoli-Susanna M Salter), Kerrys Corona (Tee Cos-Sweet Mama Gene) and Sassi Stoli (Stoli-Coronas Legacy) completed the order of fin- ish. Lil Bro Big Streak was scratched.

by Michael Compton
La Mos Corona made it six consecutive victories with a determined score in the $50,000 Flashy Hemp Stakes at Delta Downs on July 7.
Floriberto Maldonado, who has piloted La Mos Corona during the win streak, was aboard once again.
