GUSTAVO RAZO   Stakes Highlights: -Won the Golden State Derby in 2006 with Startlet Hawk -Won the Los Alamitos Winter Derby in 2006 with Startlet Hawk           Gustavo Razo couldn't get off his cell phone in the winner's circle at Los Alamitos after his gelding Startlet Hawk pulled a big upset in the $210,550 Los Alamitos Winter Derby in 2006.      Razo fielded congratulatory call after congratulatory call and the entire time, he just kept saying, "we did, he ran like a rocket."      Startlet Hawk sprouted wings in the Winter Derby, flying down the straightaway to post a stakes record in the 400-yard race. The son of Hawkinson covered the distance in :19.52, 1/10th of a second faster than World Champion Be A Bono's victory in the 2004 Winter Derby. Startlet Hawk's final 1/8th clocking of :09.30 is believed to be the fastest ever recorded at Los Alamitos.        "I've always loved my horse," said Razo, a 38-year-old building constructor from West Covina, California. "I picked this horse out at Enrique Gonzalez's ranch in Temecula. I had a friend that worked for Enrique and he told me that the ranch always had nice horses for sale. I went out there to look over some horses and Startlet Hawk is the one that caught my eye. He had a look in his eyes that lured me in and he had powerful body. That's when I bought him. I have to thank Enrique for allowing me to take home a fine animal."       Razo was joined in the winner's circle by around 40 of his closest friends - all of which had nothing but great things to say for the man of the hour.       "The real story behind Gustavo is where he's come from to be where he is tonight," said Raul Corona, one of the Razo's closest and oldest friends. "He's been at the lowest of the low and now he owns his own business and doing great for himself. Gustavo was selling "tortas" (Mexican-style sandwiches) and candies at the local soccer fields when he first came to this country. He's never been in trouble, never embarrassed himself and never been anything but a great example for all of us. He's a great example for the Latino community of what can be achieved through hard, hard work."      Razo is now the owner of seven Quarter Horses, all of which are trained by Flores.      "I've always loved horses," said Razo, who along with his wife has two sons, 17-year-old Emilio and 13-year-old Gilberto. "I grew up in Michoacan, Sonora, Mexico and as a kid I rode horses. I'm a good friend of Jose's dad, Antonio, and that's how I learned about Quarter Horses at Los Alamitos.      "Antonio wanted to give me a Quarter Horse as a present but I told him that I wanted my first horse to be one that I could purchase on my own. He asked me if I wanted a $2,000 horse and I said, 'sure, why not?' Then he asked, how about a $5,000 horse? I said, 'sure, why not?' Then he said, how about a $10,000 horse? I just told him, 'find me one and let's do it'. That's when he said, 'how about a $16,000 claimer and we could go in as partners.' I said, 'let's do it.' That's how I got started in the sport."
