Golden Gate Fields: Baze takes off mounts due to back spasms

Leading jockey Russell Baze took off his final three mounts Sunday due to back spasms.

Baze had won the second race on the card with Successful Bluff ($3.80) and the third race with Curvy Cat ($3.80) to increase his meet-leading win total to 46, 16 ahead of Dennis Carr in second place.

He is expected to return to action when racing resumes Thursday.
