rallied from seventh and last with a strong stretch kick to win the 34th

running of the $49,500 Derby Trial Stakes by 3 1/2 lengths at Fairplex Park

on Monday.

Ridden by Matt Garcia and trained by Don Warren for owners Larry and Sheila

Ullman (racing as SLU, Inc.), Bold Mango was coming off three straight grass

races including a victory last out at Del Mar.

"He's an improving horse," said Bud Johnston, who saddled the winner for the

ailing Warren and owners Sheila and Larry Ullman, who race as SLU, Inc.

"When we talked in the paddock we said there was speed in the race, so just

sit still and make one move. Matt rode him perfect."

Bold Mango paid $13.60 and covered 1 1/16 miles on a fast track under 114

pounds in 143.38. He earned $27,500 for his third victory from 11 starts.

Lou's Expectation finished second, a half-length in front of National Park.

Rainman's Request, 17-10 favorite Sunkosi, Highly Suspect and Four Checker

completed the order of finish. Groom On the Run and Asong for Billy were

scratched.

Pine for Java, a Kentucky-bred son of Pine Bluff trained by Caesar

Dominguez, is the 2-1 morning line favorite in Tuesday's 37th running of the
