You Know I Know, with Garrett Gomez at the controls, unleashed a
well-timed stretch rally to take Santa Anita’s $50,000 seventh race, a
one-mile grass claimer restricted to 4-year-olds entered for a $62,500
tag. The Kentucky-bred gelding by Simon Pure won going away by a
half-length, getting the distance in 1:34.39.
Off as the fourth choice in a field of eight at odds of 9-2, You
Know I Know settled well of the early pace and came with a four-wide
rally in the lane to overtake Huntsville and Juan Hernandez inside the
sixteenth pole.
Trained by John Sadler and owned by Chacon or Mangini Jr., You
Know I Know paid $11.80, $6.20 and $4.00. With the winner’s share of
$30,000, You Know I Know boosted his earnings to $120,240 from a record
of 12-3-1-2.
Huntsville sat mid-pack early and rallied four-wide into the
stretch, put a head in front between horses leaving the eighth pole, but
couldn’t hold off the winner, finishing a half-length in front of Time
Lord and Rafael Bejarano.
Huntsville paid $6.80 and $4.40.
Time Lord set the early pace and had to settle for third, paying $3.00 to show.
A Toast to You, the solid 2-1 favorite with Tyler Baze, bobbled a
bit at the break but had an uneventful trip thereafter with no apparent
excuses.
