Posted on Saturday, April 3rd, 2010
Leading all the way, Sidney’s Candy won the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby by 4 1/2 lengths Saturday, giving 20-year-old jockey Joe Talamo a Kentucky Derby contender a year after his mount I Want Revenge was scratched as the early horse wagering favorite the morning of the race.
Behind him, drama unfolded for 4-5 favorite Lookin At Lucky, whose troubled third-place finish set off the tempers of jockey Garrett Gomez, trainer Bob Baffert and his wife.
After bobbling at the start, jockey Joe Talamo took Sidney’s Candy to the lead, just as they did in winning the San Vicente and San Felipe on the same synthetic surface. The colt ran 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.00 to win the West Coast’s major prep for the May 1 Kentucky Derby 2010.
