Catalina Red surprises in Churchill Downs Stakes
None
LOUISVILLE-Catalina Red pulled a 14-1 upset in the $500,000 Churchill Downs Stakes for sprinters, the seventh of 14 races on the Derby day card.
The 4-year-old, making his first start for trainer Jorge Navarro, was largely overlooked despite a recent win against state breds at Tampa Bay Downs.
He was always a factor in the Churchill Downs, laying third as Limousine Liberal and Holy Boss set the pace. Catalina Red and jockey Javier Castellano took charge in midstretch and held off Calculator by a length.
