Cannonball Charlie survived an early bump from Amber Garcia’s Okja of Tustin immediately out of the gate, then ran through open space over the final 40 yards to win by two lengths in the 10-dog field.
It was the third consecutive medal for Cannonball Charlie, which took a silver medal in 2022, then earned a bronze last summer.
