OPELOUSAS, La. - Star Guitar ran his record at Evangeline Downs to a perfect 6 for 6 Saturday night when he captured the $125,000 Evangeline Mile for the third year in a row. Trained by Al Stall Jr. , Star Guitar ($3. 60) was ridden by Gerard Melancon, a late substitute for regular rider Corey Lanerie, whose plane from Kentucky was diverted due to mechanical problems. "He settled down perfectly for me after breaking alertly and was just galloping along most of the way," Melancon said after the race. Calvin Borel, slated to ride Crystal Moment for his brother Cecil, was aboard the same plane. Sweetsouthernmoon finished three lengths back in second, followed by Crystal Moment and Nates Mineshaft, who combined to set the early pace. I never uncocked my stick and it was a very easy win. "I asked him to go after the leaders approaching the top of the stretch and he just rolled by them.
