Citizen Advocate, under Luis Jurado, stalked the early pace before rallying in the stretch to win the $150,800 Presque Isle Debutante on Saturday evening at Presque Isle Downs. La Chiky set the early pace before giving way in the stretch in the six-furlong event. Trained by David Vivian, Citizen Advocate took over in the stretch and drew clear to 1 1/4-length victory, with Jurado having lost his whip inside the eighth pole.
ARCADIA, Calif.- Nearly an hour after Blind Luck’s last-place finish in the Grade 1 Lady’s Secret Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday, trainer Jerry Hollendorfer was at a loss to explain the performance and said the 4-year-old filly will undergo tests in coming days.
“She didn’t run a good race and I didn’t train her right,” he said. “Something must be bugging her. I don’t know what it is.
“I’ll watch her and get a scan on her.”
ARCADIA, Calif. – The Goodwood Stakes on Saturday at Santa Anita did not unfold the way trainer Bob Baffert drew it up on paper, but the result was still what he desired. Game On Dude, returning to the scene of his greatest win, bravely held off Awesome Gem to win the Grade 1, $250,000 race despite an unexpected, torrid early pace.
ARCADIA, Calif.- Zazu rallied wide through the stretch to win the $250,000 Lady’s Secret Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday, beating a field that included Blind Luck, who raced at the back of the field throughout and finished last as the 6-5 favorite.
Blind Luck was sixth in the field of seven on the first turn and was last for the final five furlongs, a result that left trainer Jerry Hollendorfer and jockey Garrett Gomez stunned.
ANDERSON, Ind. - Before the Indiana Derby and Oaks, eight stakes were run Saturday at Hoosier Park on easily the state's richest program of racing each year. The last of those undercard races was the $104,050 Michael Schaefer Memorial Stakes, which was won in the final jumps by Glenwood Canyon in track-record time.
ARCADIA, Calif. - Creative Cause regained command of the California 2-year-old male division on Saturday with an impressive win in the Grade 1, $250,000 Norfolk Stakes at Santa Anita.
The victory led trainer Mike Harrington to plan for a start in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5.
MIAMI - Exclusively Maria completed a memorable day for trainer Bisnath Parboo, leading throughout to register a neck decision over the late-running maiden Another Romance in Saturday's $96,150 Cassidy Stakes. Parboo had won the Grade 1 Vosburgh with Giant Ryan earlier in the afternoon at Belmont Park.
ELMONT, N.Y. - Flat Out may not have run as fast as Uncle Mo or won by as wide a margin as Havre de Grace, but he won the most coveted prize on Belmont Park's Super Saturday card - the $750,000 Jockey Club Gold Cup - in convincing fashion, paying his way into the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs next month.
