ARCADIA, Calif. – Rattataptap earned another try at a stakes victory by winning for the second time in her career in an optional claimer at six furlongs for 3-year-old fillies Thursday.

Ridden by leading jockey Rafael Bejarano, Rattataptap ($5.60) led throughout and won by 4 3/4 lengths over Tall and Sweet. The win has led trainer Jeff Bonde to consider the $100,000 Santa Ysabel Stakes for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles Feb. 28 for Rattataptap.

“This filly has a lot of potential,” Bonde said.

ARCADIA, Calif. – Calculator, who won for the first time Jan. 10 in the Grade 3 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita, could make his next start outside California.

Miller said a late-February race has greater appeal than waiting for the $400,000 San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita on March 7.
