INGLEWOOD, Calif. - Black Bart, the former $16,000 claimer, scored his second stakes win of the Hollywood Park meeting in Sunday's $76,800 Quicken Tree Stakes for state-breds.
The Quicken Tree was a prep to the $125,000 Claiming Crown Jewel Stakes at Canterbury Park on July 17, trainer Troy Bainum said.
Ridden by Alex Solis, Black Bart was always close to the pace in the Quicken Tree, run over 1 1/2 miles on turf. He led for the first half-mile, stalked Shalini for a half-mile and regained the lead on the final turn.
