Hollywood Park: Streaming, Taste Like Candy could get rematch in Las Virgenes

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Streaming and Taste Like Candy, the first two finishers in the Hollywood Starlet Stakes last Saturday, could have a rematch in the $300,000 Las Virgenes Stakes for 3-year-old fillies over a mile at Santa Anita on Feb. 1.

After Saturday’s race, trainer Bob Baffert said he would like to keep Streaming in Grade 1 races in early 2014. The Las Virgenes is the first of two Grade 1 races for 3-year-old fillies at the Santa Anita winter-spring meeting. The $400,000 Santa Anita Oaks will be run April 5.

In past years, the Las Virgenes was run in early March, but this year, it will be run a month earlier. The $100,000 Santa Ysabel Stakes for 3-year-old fillies, a Grade 3 over 1 1/16 miles, has been moved from a January position in past years to March 1.
