Go Green Go Is Ready for the Green Light

Go Green Go is a model of consistency.

A 5-year-old gelding owned and bred by Alvaro and Raul Ramirez and trained by Paul Jones, Go Green Go has won five of eight starts in 2002. In his three defeats, he was third and second twice.

With regular rider Ramon Sanchez aboard, the California-bred son of Blushing Bug will try for another victory in tonight’s eighth, a $12,550 allowance at 350 yards.

Go Green Go will leave from the outside in the field of six and post six has been kind to him. He won by 1 1/4 lengths from that post on April 4 and, a little more than three months earlier, he had won by the same margin.

My Traffic Dasher is the only one of Go Green Go’s opponents who is coming off a victory. A 4-year-old gelding owned by Antonio Flores and trained by Jose Antonio Flores, the gray won by a head at 7-1 against $16,000 claimers on June 20. It was the second victory in three starts for My Traffic Dasher since he was claimed by his current connections for $7,500 on March 15.
