Trained by Monty Arrossa for owners Rick Sumner and Dunn Ranch, Candy Blood has won three of four races at Remington Park, including the last of eight Remington Park Derby trials on April 1. The gelding’s season resume includes a second-place finish, three-quarters of a length behind winner Flash Bak, in the 400-yard, $204,000 Los Alamitos Winter Derby (G1) on February 13.
Candy Blood drew the rail post and will be ridden by James Flores.

Apollitical Gold has earned $981,443 from 10 outs, and his five wins include a neck victory in last year’s Grade 1, 400-yard Golden State Million Futurity at Los Alamitos.
