Arcadia – Regardless of everything, the western road for the Triple Crown series still runs still the stable of Bob Befurt.
In Santa Anita on Sunday, it did not matter that her best young horse was scratched by $ 300,000 San Felip stake and two of her remaining horses in the race are not officially Kentki material.
Baffert-trained imagination and Baffert-trained Wine Me Up ran back first and second after a bumpy club house turned before imagination and Jockey Franky Dateori won a stretch battle with one head in 1 1/16-mile San Felip.
MC Vay finished the 6 3/4 length back in the third, and it was reduced to four horses to skapt in the race, when Bafert announced the scorching of North American 3-year-old NYSOS NYSOS, a day earlier.
For Baffert, only the related moments came when the area was entered in the first turn, when the scattered moved the rail and imagined the imagination “sideways” knocked, as the avibes chart footnots put it.
“A horse came on the imagination (out), he scared it, and flew with (Dateori),” Befurt said in the winner’s circle.
Detori said: “My horses, and I took her back and took her to widen her to relax and bring her back into the race. He did a great duality. He was full of heart. ,
There was no change in the investigation of a steovers in the first-turn drama.
For horses dying for Kentki Derby qualifying points, John Shirrefs-Direct MC Yi chose 15 to finish 15 and John Sadler-Directed Skatef 10 to finish fourth. MC Vay now has 19 for 19 seasons, putting him in a 17th position in Scramble for 20 early locations in May 4. Skatef has 16, which holds him in 21st position.
If either the Derby continues on the trail, it will require a good run on 6 April for Santa Anita Derby or major prepas (100, 50, 25, 15 and 10 points of top-five finisars. It usually takes 40 or more points to get into the darby.
Rapid on a surface was rapidly rated – but the rainfall was sluggish which forced the card to postpone from Saturday to Sunday – Kalpana covered 1 1/16 mile in 1: 44.55, which led to the slowest San Felip, as the soul of the case won a dirty track in 1994.
Most of that slowness in homestrech, as imagined, outwards, and alcohol upwards, in the inner side with jockey juan hernandez, as a soldier against the effects of their early conflicts or tired notes or both.
It became the first of the three graded stex win for Befurt on Sunday – he with Du Jerse and Frank E with Du Jerse within the next 65 minutes. Santa Anita Handicap won with Kilro Mile – as well as her ninth San Felip win.
And it imagined (who paid $ 3.80) fourth Befurt Horse joined Nysos, Muth and WYNSTOCK to win a stake race in this 3 -year -old season.
But no May 4 is eligible for Kentki Derby, as Churchill Downs continues to continue the continuous ban of Bufferts of Bufferts with the disqualification of Madina Spirit for its 2021 darby victory for a drug violation.
Instead, the best of the baffert will jump into the triple crown in the Prekness of 18 May.
Kalpana, a son of mischief, sold for $ 1.05 million as a year for co-owners SF racing, starlight racing and madkets stables, a ruler on his fifth beginning after winning his bet in his fifth beginning. Wine Me Up, by Vino Roso and owned by Mike Pagram and Partners, ran well and missed their first bet in five attempts.
BAFFERT called Kalpana a “slow developer”.
“We are trying to develop these horses,” said Befurt, “So it was good for both.”
