Heavenly Corona wins $50,000 Getaway Handicap


Heavenly Corona swept to a one-half length victory in the $50,000
Getaway Handicap at 870 yards. He had no problems gaining the early lead despite
breaking from the #8 post position.

The son of Corona Caliente responded boldly for jockey Salvador
Martinez.
The winning duo sped through the distance in a fast 44.72 seconds.

Heavenly Corona earned $30,000 for owner Ray Herring.

Roy Marcom trains the 3-time winner who has blossomed into a champion
distance expert.
