What the Nation is saying about the 2010 San Felipe (G2)...

In what was the biggest weekend of the year for Derby preps, we saw a wide variety of top-class performances, such as Lookin At lucky turning near-disaster into a gutsy, thrilling victory in the Rebel Stakes (gr. III); Odysseus’ return from the dead to snatch victory in the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III)...Read More
Being that he started and has raced most of his career on Turf, I'd be anxious to see how well Interactif handled a conventional dirt surface. I thought he ran a very game 2nd to Sidney's Candy on the synthetics, and could have potentially won the race if he hadn't had to swing so wide. I've always felt Interactif was a 2yr.old, now a 3yr.old with a lot of potential. If he can handle the dirt, and get the distance, I wouldn't completely rule him out of being a potential Kentucky Derby contender. TJMO.
Sidney's Candy went two turns, but did he ever have things easy. Deceptively good races by Interactif and Caracortado, who will both fly under the radar for a little while longer.
Caracortado suffered his first loss in Saturday's $150,000 San Felipe Stakes, but was only beaten two lengths in a race that was not run to suit the formerly undefeated gelding. Sidney's Candy ($9.60) led throughout the San Felipe over 1 1-16 miles, leading by 2 1-2 lengths...Read More
Universal good thing Zenyatta ($2.60) had a few anxious moments waiting for room in the lane, but she is scary talented and cruised home once clear in the Santa Margarita. Don’t think Rachel wants any part of this mare at Oaklawn. Mike Smith had his usual seat aboard the Shirreffs trainee...Read More
SAN FELIPE STAKES QUOTESJOCKEY QUOTES JOE TALAMO, SIDNEY’S CANDY, WINNER: “I talked to John (Sadler) this morning and the plan was to get to the lead, relax and kick when they came to him. For him to go from a seven-eighths sprint to a mile and a sixteenth and relax like that is amazing. We knew las...Read More
The Craig Family Trust's homebred SIDNEY'S CANDY (Candy Ride [Arg]) loomed as the controlling speed in Saturday's $150,000 San Felipe S. (G2) at Santa Anita, and the John Sadler trainee capitalized on that advantage to lead throughout in his two-turn debut. With regular rider Joe Talamo aboard, the ...Read More
Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes a pair of graded events. First up is the Grade 1 Santa Margarita, and Zenyatta packs on the pounds (127) in her seasonal bow and Apple Blossom tune-up. Two races later, 3yo’s take center stage in the Grade 2 San Felipe. Five logical contenders ...Read More
I'll have a preview of this weekend's three Derby preps later on today but I wanted to discuss a horse that could end up making a bit of noise this Saturday at Santa Anita, and that's Todd Pletcher's Interactif.  Here's a look at the race record and the pedigree of this would-be Derby contender...Read More
Interactif, third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf last November, is among seven 3-year-olds entered in the $150,000 San Felipe Stakes on Saturday. The San Felipe Stakes is run over 1 1/16 miles and is led by Caracortado, the winner of the Grade 2 Robert Lewis Stakes over 1 1/16 miles on Feb. 3, a...Read More
If you can't get excited about racing this weekend, I don't know what to tell ya. Saturday is action-packed from coast to coast and I know I'll be glued to my computer with racing form in hand all all afternoon. Let's take a trip around the US and A, in the Space Shuttle to see what's in store....Read More
Jason, Tom, and Les Instone of twinspires.com preview the Tampa Bay Derby (gr. III) and the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II).Read More
On Saturday, the popular duo of jockey Paul Atkinson and CARACORTADO (Cat Dreams) hope to move a step closer to the May 1 Kentucky Derby (G1) when they run in the $150,000 San Felipe S. (G2) going 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita. Early on, Caracortado and Atkinson flew beneath racing's radar, but after ...Read More
In most cases, an undefeated, grade II-winning 3-year-old ridden by a virtual unknown rider would have a big-name jockey on him by now. You can be sure trainer Mike Machowsky’s phone has been ringing off the hook with offers to put a top rider on Caracortado, who will be trying for his sixth career ...Read More
Mike Machowsky has seen enough. After Caracortado worked five furlongs in 58.60 seconds, or six furlongs in 1:12 by Machowsky's watch, on Friday the trainer pronounced the undefeated 3-year-old ready for the $150,000 San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita this Saturday."I'll just gallop him the rest of th...Read More
It’s Triple Crown season, so owners and trainers have begun to compile roadmaps to Louisville for their Kentucky Derby hopefuls. So much has changed in recent years with the advent of synthetic tracks, a shuffling of dates for important prep races, and the emergence of new graded stakes ...Read More
Wearing blinkers for the first time, Lookin At Lucky worked four furlongs on Pro-Ride at Santa Anita Jan. 9 in preparation for his 3-year-old debut, probably in the San Felipe Stakes (gr. II) on March 13.Read More
  • thedodge · I didn't like this horse I thought his times were to slow. Now Baffert adds blinker's and if he draws out from these horse's next start and run a nice number then i will be a fan. Also i like his breeding never had a problem with that. according to Dr. Steven Roman his sire and dame sire are balanced speed for non-chef-de-race types which is up to 10 furlongs. · 1230 days ago ·
