Muchos Besos, the longest shot in a field of six and the only runner with double-digit odds, scored a shock win in a $12,500 claimer in Saturday's fifth race.

He returned to the winner's circle under jockey Matt Garcia to a rousing reception from the clubhouse audience. Perhaps they backed the veteran, who paid $47.20. Muchos Besos finshed 4 1-2 lengths in front of 7-1 Freddies Dream.

Owned by Hugo Catalan and trained by Javier Sierra, Muchos Besis was winless in 14 starts in 2017, running in claiming races ranging in value from $16,000 to $50,000. This was his lowest claiming race since a second-place finish in a $10,000 claimer at Los Alamitos in December 2014.

Muchos Besos has won 9 of 62 starts.
