ARCADIA, Calif. - Leading trainer Bob Baffert nearly completed a sweep of the first three positions of Saturday’s $100,000 Las Flores Stakes at Santa Anita, finishing first and second with Gilded Gem and Subsidized and fourth with Mother Ruth.
At the eighth pole, Baffert’s three fillies and mares occupied the first three positions in the field of five, but pacesetter Mother Ruth faded late, spoiling the potential milestone.
GROVE CITY, Ohio - School Lass took advantage of a ground-saving trip under jockey Jake Radosevich to win the $50,000 Royal North at Beulah Park on Saturday.
Radosevich, collecting his first stakes win, kept School Lass ($3.60), a daughter of Private School, along the rail in the six- furlong Royal North before asking her for run on the turn and she responded, getting through along the rail and dueling with second-place finisher Startin Something.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Tapitsfly on Saturday recorded her first victory since winning the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf by leading gate to wire under Julien Leparoux to win a $63,900 allowance race at Gulfstream Park by 2 1/4 lengths.
Galloping to the lead through an opening quarter of 24.09 seconds, Tapitsfly kept on cruising through a half-mile of 48.41 seconds, six furlongs in 1:11.96, a mile in 1:34.69 before covering the 1 1/16 miles in 1:40.55. She returned $7.40 to win as the third choice in a field of six.
STICKNEY, Ill. – Want to know who’s running April 9 in the Illinois Derby? Sorry - you will just have to wait.
Waiting and hoping is what Hawthorne people themselves are doing this weekend. As of Saturday afternoon, the Grade 3, $300,000 Illinois Derby had the same four probable starters as it did two days ago. Debbie Lindsay, Hawthorne’s stakes coordinator, said the status of at least four more possible runners won’t be determined until early this week, a claim confirmed by the trainers of those horses.
Apriority, who may be as good as any sprinter in the country right now, including his Eclipse Award-winning stablemate Big Drama, breezed five furlongs in 1:01.60 in company with no less a workmate than multiple graded stakes winner Duke of Mischief after the renovation break Saturday morning at Calder.
Luis Saez, who sustained a minor leg injury in a spill here at Gulfstream Park on Thursday, was aboard Apriority while Joe Bravo worked Duke of Mischief.
Trainer Ken McPeek said he wanted to get a stiff workout into Kathmanblu on Saturday morning at Gulfstream Park and got exactly that as the four-time stakes winner drilled five furlongs in 59.03 seconds, the fastest of 18 works over Gulfstream’s main track.
Kathmanblu, unraced since taking the Grade 3 Rachel Alexandra Stakes at Fair Grounds on Feb. 19, is going to make her next start in Saturday’s Grade 1 Ashland Stakes at Keeneland.
ARCADIA, Calif. – Premier Pegasus, Jaycito, and Bench Points seem to be doing everything together recently.
They were the first three finishers in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita on March 12, a race that Premier Pegasus won by a convincing 7 3/4 lengths. Saturday, they worked minutes apart at Santa Anita. Next Saturday, the threesome could meet for the second time in the $1 million Santa Anita Derby.
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. – When it comes to Soaring Empire, trainer Cam Gambolati is in a New York state of mind.
After running three times at Gulfstream Park – including a victory in the Grade 3 Hal’s Hope in January – Soaring Empire is now targeting the Grade 3, $100,000 Westchester Stakes at Belmont on April 30 and then the Grade 1, $500,000 Metropolitan Handicap, also at Belmont, on May 30.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Uncle Mo, the undefeated divisional champion, attracted the most action after the first full day of betting into the third and final pool in the 2001 Kentucky Derby Future Wager, which opened for the customary three-day run Friday at noon Eastern.
