What the Nation is saying about Caracortado...

Caracortado, scratched from Saturday’s Sensational Star Stakes due to a minor burn on the bottom of the frog on his right front foot, is recovering and will be pointed to the Grade I Kilroe Mile on turf on March 3. “Maybe after that we’ll look at the San Simeon Handicap at the end of the meet,” trainer Mike Machowsky said. “The plan is to keep him in California this year and hopefully get to the Breeders’ Cup (at Santa Anita on Nov. 2 and 3),” Machowsky said. The San Simeon at about 6 ½ furlongs on turf will be decided a day before the meet ends, on April 21.
In the first of the Sunshine Millions Day races exclusively for California-breds, Compari, handled by Hall of Famer Smith, split horses in midstretch to score as the even-money favorite in the $100,000 Sensational Star Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita’s hillside turf course. Read More
