RAFAEL BEJARANO, FANTASTIC STYLE, WINNER: “It just depends how fast you go. I decided to use her a little bit from the gate to stay close, I sat second the whole way and I knew the five, Amaranth, was done.
“She’s been working really well in the mornings so I just think she’s getting better and better.”
MIKE MARLOW, ASSISTANT TO BOB BAFFERT, FANTASTIC STYLE, WINNER: “She just cruised. He (Rafael Bejaranao) was loaded all the way. She was off for a while but Bob had her ready. She was really impressive. It was a good comeback race.”
NOTES: The winning owner is Kaleem Shah who resides in San Diego.
Comebacking Fantastic Style picked up where she left off Sunday at Santa Anita, as she cruised to a four length win under Rafael Bejarano in the Grade III, $100,000 Las Flores Stakes. Trained by Bob Baffert, she carried the red, white and blue colors of owner Kaleem Shah six furlongs in a rapid 1:08.79.
Idle since a smashing 3 ½ length win in the Grade II Great Lady M Stakes on July 11 at Los Alamitos, Fantastic Style sat second to speedy longshot Amaranth down the backside, seized command leaving the quarter pole and went on to win in-hand.
Off at 1-2 in a field of five older fillies and mares, Fantastic Style paid $3.00, $2.40 and $2.10.
“I decided to use her a little bit from the gate to stay close,” said Bejarano. “I sat second the whole way and I knew the five, Amaranth, was done. She’s been working really well in the mornings, so I think she’s getting better and better.”
In posting her third consecutive win and her fifth from seven overall starts, Fantastic Style, a 4-year-old Kentucky-bred filly by Harlan’s Holiday, picked up $60,000 for the win, increasing her earnings to $332,000.
“She just cruised,” said Mike Marlow, assistant to Baffert. “He (Bejarano) was loaded all the way. She was off for a while but Bob had her ready. She was really impressive. It was a good comeback race.”
Ben’s Duchess ran-on well from off the pace for second money and was ridden out past the wire by Abel Lezcano. Off at 6-1, she finished 3 ¾ lengths in front of Cadet Roni and paid $4.20 and $2.60.
Ridden by Gary Stevens, Cadet Roni out-finished Finest City by a neck. Off at 5-1, she paid $2.40 to show.
Fractions on the race were 22.09, 44.66 and 56.50.
Racing resumes on Thursday at Santa Anita, with first post time for an eight-race card at 1 p.m. Admission gates open at 11 a.m.
Longshot Iron Rob made the lead a quarter mile from home and went on to a decisive 1 ½ length victory over heavily favored Denman’s Call, providing veteran jockey Stewart Elliot with his first-ever Santa Anita stakes win in Sunday’s $75,000 San Pedro Stakes. Trained by George Papaprodomou, Florida-bred Iron Rob covered six furlongs in 1:09.05.
Best known as the regular rider of 2004 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Smarty Jones, Elliott related that he liked what he had under him at the top of the stretch.
“He came away from there and I had a lot of horse, he made me feel confident,” said Elliot. “I thought that Denman’s Call was going to have to be running to get us, because I knew I had some horse as long as he responded like I thought he would, and he did. I had a good hold of him and he was doing it easy.”
A winner of the 6 ½ furlong Baffle Stakes, which was switched from turf to dirt here on Feb. 21, Iron Rob was off at 9-1 in a field of six sophomores and paid $21.80, $4.60 and $3.00. Owned by Kretz Racing, LLC, Iron Rob, a Florida-bred colt by Twirling Candy, improved his overall record to 10-3-2-0 and with the winner’s share of $46,800, increased his earnings to $157,320.
“I thought he would run really well today, he ran really great last time, too,” said Papaprodromou, who then addressed the fact that Iron Rob was vanned off immediately following his win in the Baffle Stakes, creating some doubts as to his status for the San Pedro. “It was sad to see him vanned off after his last race, but Santiago (Gonzalez, jockey) wanted to be careful when he felt him take a few bad steps.
“He was playing it safe. The main thing is that we’re here. He was fine, but he got heavy and tired and just took a few bad steps. I think we’ll head into graded stakes now. Why not?”
Triple Crown nominated, trainer Doug O’Neill’s Denman’s Call came off a good third place...
