Tomlin uses her speed to win Camilla Urso Stakes

Tomlin, under replacement rider David Lopez, led throughout Saturday’s $77,250 Camilla Urso Stakes for fillies and mares at Golden Gate Fields, ending a six-race losing streak in stakes since November 2018.

Lopez had Tomlin ($31.60) on the lead through a fast opening quarter-mile in 20.72 seconds, repelled an early threat from 13-1 Red Livy and won by 1 1/4 lengths over 7-2 Fantasy Heat, who closed from fourth.

Mucho Amor (25-1) finished third in the field of 10 after drawing into the race from the also-eligible list. Mucho Amor was ridden by Kyle Frey, and was listed as his preferred mount over Tomlin, resulting in the late rider change.

In six subsequent starts in stakes prior to Saturday, she was third in three stakes, including the Grade 2 Santa Ynez Stakes at Santa Anita in January 2019.
