  • Cardly Knot · I believe Baffert is shipping the Factor to Dubai. Game on Dude, The Factor, and who knows possibly a 3 year old? Perhaps Casataway, Secret Circle, or even Liaison who has run well on syn. Pack Sutherland/Garcia in the suitcase, as well. · 450 days ago ·

Another Stakes win for Bob Baffert - The Factor holds off Sway Away in G2 San Carlos.   
Mensa Heat has been scratched from the San Carlos.
Friday Santa Anita Park Recap – Feb 24 Three wire jobs on the speed conducive fast main track. Downhill turf course seemed to play fair (rail at 30 feet). Hat trick for trainer Doug O’Neill. Sire Unusual Heat was responsible for two winners (Lisa Lulu, Starspangled Heat) on the afternoon. On the tic...Read More

Champion sprinter Amazombie makes his long-awaited 2012 debut Saturday in the Grade II San Carlos Stakes, but Bill Spawr has all but conceded victory to mega-hot Bob Baffert and his speed freak, The Factor, in the seven furlong race with a $200,000 purse. Read More

This is a tough spot for Sway Away to come back in. On paper, this race looks to be all Amazombie and The Factor.
The best is yet to come from Amazombie. So says a man who knows, Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith, who has ridden the California-bred gelding 16 times in his 23 career starts, crossing the wire first 10 times, (he was disqualified from winning the Los Angeles Handicap last May and placed third).Read More
Bob Baffert said Friday morning he is “seriously looking at” running The Factor in the $200,000 San Carlos Stakes a week from Saturday, Feb. 25.

  • ghelguera · Is a track record asking for too much inthis awesome field? This is one of the best San Carlos Stakes in years. I love Sway Away and Rothko in this race but perhaps Rothko might have the edge on Sway Away because of the layoff. Can't count out The Factor and Amazombie when their in Beast Mode. · 458 days ago ·

Sway Away breezed 3f in :38.40 (8/10) at Hollywood Park on Feb 21. The G2 San Carlos at SA on Feb 25 might be next.   
Like most scions of Unusual Heat, Mensa Heat pays his way. The durable 6-year-old gelded son of the 22-year-old stallion who stands for $20,000 at Harris Farms in Coalinga, California, is approaching a half-million dollars in earnings, thanks mainly to nine wins, seven seconds and three thirds from ...Read More
