Cali Baby snaps Glory Be Mine's seven-race winning streak

Cali Baby kept Glory Be Mine from winning her eighth straight race on Sunday, when she rallied for a 1 1/2-length win in the $120,000 New Mexico Racing Commission Handicap at Sunland Park. Happy Me finished second, three lengths clear of Glory Be Mine in third.

Cali Baby ($7) trailed early on the turn back from a mile to six furlongs, as Glory Be Mine, the 4-5 favorite, led the field through an opening half-mile in 44.80 seconds. Cali Baby overtook Glory Be Mine and went on to cover the distance on a fast track in 1:10.04. Alfredo Juarez was aboard for the partnership of Chris Hourigan and UKUSA Stables and trainer Eric Mikkelson.

Cali Baby, a 4-year-old daughter of Thatsusintheolbean, has now won four consecutive stakes in a streak that began in August in the $40,000 Carlos Salazar at the Downs at Albuquerque. She also won the $40,000 E.T. Springer at Albuquerque and the $182,000 New Mexico Cup Filly and Mare Championship at Zia before taking the New Mexico Racing Commission.

Glory Be Mine’s win streak had dated back to July 2009.

The co-featured $120,000 Johnie L. Jamison went to Chuchuluco ($10.20).

Chuchuluco covered 61/2 furlongs in 1:15.56. Justin Shepherd was aboard for trainer Todd Fincher
