HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Rafael Bejarano swept both divisions of the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn Park on Monday, after Secret Circle drove to about a three-quarter-length win over Scatman. One race earlier, Castaway took the first division, by 3 3/4 lengths. Both races carried Grade 3 status, and the purse for each was $250,000.
A special daily double covering the two races paid $26. The winning numbers were 11-9.
Secret Circle ($3.20) tracked Scatman through fractions of 23.21 seconds for the opening quarter and 46.81 for the half-mile. The pair continued to race together through six furlongs in 1:11.25, with Secret Circle driving past the leader in the stretch to win the one-mile race in 1:37.80.
Best Bets
INDIAN STARLIGHT will likely be overlooked as a former claimer that is running in allowance, but she just beat a nice starter group at Gulfstream and owns good speed figures; her trainer, Dave Kassen, is also dangerous with price horses. MERI SHIKA kept good company earlier in her career when racing overseas in France, and comes off a deceptively good fifth in an allowance Apr. 5 here in which a slow early pace compromised her chances.
