Posted on Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Misremembered, ridden by jockey Martin Garcia, won by a half-length over fast-closing Neko Bay in Saturday’s $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap racing 1 1/4 miles in 2:00.20
, the 4-year-old horse’s first victory at the distance. He paid $10.80, $6 and $4.40 at 4-1 odds.
Jockey Martin Garcia had worked Misremembered during morning training hours, and race horse trainer Bob Baffert has been winning horse races with him at a 27-percent clip lately.
“I feel amazing, man!” Garcia said. “This is the first time I rode in the Big ‘Cap and I had the opportunity to make it to the winner’s circle. Bob told me to give him a clear break and just not fight him. When my horse got to the lead, I knew I still had a lot of horse.”
Neko Bay returned $7.80 and $6, while Dakota Phone and Espinoza were another 2 1/4 lengths back in third and paid $10.40 to show.
“I got to the other horse (Misremembered), but he dug in,” said Neko Bay’s jockey Mike Smith. “If you give me a few more jumps, I get him. But the winner dug in tough.”
Jeranimo was fourth in the 14-horse Santa Anita Handicap field. followed by Rendezvous, St Trinians (GB), Marsh Side, Delightful Kiss, Pick Six, Pool Play, Loup Breton (IRE), Tiger’s Rock, Eagle Poise and Mast Track.
St Trinians finished sixth as the 3-1 horse wagering favorite who was attempting to become the first filly or mare to win the Big ‘Cap in its 73-year history.
“She had a tough time, but I give her credit,” her jockey Joel Rosario said. “The other horses were coming in on her. She was never comfortable in there. She was between horses much of the time and we got too far back. She moved a little bit after that, but it was just too much to make up.”
Mismembered earned $450,000 in the Santa Anita Handicap for race horse owners Natalie Baffert and George Jacobs.
