What the Nation is saying about the 2011 San Fernando (G2)...

Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman's INDIAN FIREWATER (Indian Charlie), best of the rest behind Sidney's Candy (Candy Ride [Arg]) in the December 26 Sir Beaufort S. (G3), capitalized on the scratch of that formidable rival to wire Saturday's $150,000 San Fernando S. (G2) at Santa Anita. With ...Read More
Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes a pair of Stakes races. First up is the Grade 2 Santa Ynez (6th race) and it looks like a match race between Zazu and Plum Pretty. Sidney’s Candy is out of the Grade 2 San Fernando (8th race) and Thiskyhasnolimit will likely inherit the role of favo...Read More
Sidney’s Candy, who was withdrawn from Saturday’s San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita after he was found to be walking unsound Friday, will undergo a nuclear scan test on his right hind leg Monday, trainer John Sadler said.Sadler downplayed the severity of the problem, which he said was first noticed...Read More
I really don’t understand why Sidney’s Candy isn’t getting more respect on a national level.

  • zatt · Sorry, three sprint wins against ... *crickets* ... does not carry more weight than a horse who won five graded stakes on three different surfaces.

It's possible that 2nd best in the barn is 2nd best older horse out there this year. · 502 days ago ·

  • humphrey · I strongly get the impression that this one could NOT win on the deeper grass surfaces which make up the majority of turf courses throughout the country. When you are running on a putting green with no moisture of springiness to it, you are essentially (as the Brits call it) running on the top of the ground....Take this one to Woodbine Arlington or Saratoga and he would likely be a regular also ran. · 501 days ago ·
