BIG CAP REMATCH LOOMS FOR ‘PARK’ AND ‘CREV’

Streaking Follow Me Crev and Prospect Park could meet again in the Santa Anita Handicap on March 12 after running one-two in Sunday’s third race, a $65,000 overnight event at 1 1/16 miles in which Follow Me Crev won by 2 ½ lengths under Flavien Prat for his fourth straight victory.

Prospect Park, the 4-5 favorite making his first start since last September, ran evenly in second throughout and could not hold off the late burst of Follow Me Crev, who closed from sixth and last at the half-mile pole to win.

“If he comes out it really good, we’ll try the big race,” said Vladimir Cerin, who trains Follow Me Crev for long-time clients David and Holly Wilson. “He’s just a big horse who’s a late-developer. He’s huge.

“Flavien said he’s a really smart horse. He kind of picks his way through (the field).”

Aside from not...

We thought our IdaBet.com players would like to know there is a $1,046,372 Pick 6 Carryover at Gulfsteam Park and it is up for grabs today, Monday, February 15, 2016.

We thought our IdaBet.com players would want to know that Melanie Plourde and Sabrina Clevenger each had milestone wins on Sunday night at Pompano Park as the South Florida oval celebrated St. Valentine’s with two events featuring the ladies.

The first St. Valentine’s Day event—The Sweetheart Trot—went to Back To Peace, handled by Melanie Plourde for owner-trainer Shane Arsenault.

Plourde sent Back To Peace, a seven year-old altered son of Angus Hall, right to the front and posted fractions of :30, :59 and 1:29 before a :29.1 sprint home sealed the deal measuring ¾ of a  length over Well Connected Kid, driven by Maria Howard. Magic Cheque, with Brooke Nickells in the sulky, rallied with a :28.4 closing panel to be third, just a nose back of Well Connected Kid. M C Felix was fourth while Jailhouse Lawyer finished fifth in the field scratched down to a field of eight.

The win for Plourde was her 174th lifetime but the very first on U.S. soil as all of her other wins were at Canadian tracks.

Back To Peace won for the initial time in 2016 in six starts and now has eight wins in 120 lifetime journeys to the starting gate, good for $117,775 in career bounty.

As the 9 to 5 second choice, Back To Peace paid $5.80 to win.

In the Sweetheart Pace, Sabrina Clevenger, driving Normandy Invasion, wasted no time blasting from the wings of the Hummer Starting Gate with her 1 to 5 tote-board favorite as this six year-old gelded son of Somebeachsomewhere zipped through panels of :28.2, :55.4 and 1:25 before gliding home a 10 length winner in 1:55.2 over Jet Er Done, handled by Anne Turenne, with Val’s Way and Melanie Plourde teaming up to be third.

Winning Solution finished fourth while Master Of Puppets picked up the nickel in the...

Selections By “The Ace” John Hernandez – Feb 15

RACE 1 6 Gold In This Lane journeyed to Ocala to run there January 26 … the 5YO mare is still winless after 16 starts. 2 Grannys Rocket has finished 3rd in 2 straight at the meet … her trainer/jockey tandem have won some races. 8 Adrinni moves up to the $10K MCL level for a top trainer/jockey duo … maybe he can have an impact here.

RACE 2 4 Shezmissindependent is dropped in for a tag and gets Rodrigo Vallejo … those two changes make the diff! 3 Checkin Out Checks looks like a contender at 220 yards … his young pilot will have to keep him focused. 2 Tf Painted Strawfly runs for the third time this season … give the 4YO mare a chance to be a contender.

RACE 3 5 Bold Medal Jess runs for “under the radar” trainer Ruben Flores … he rallied strongly in his most recent out. 6 Bravadan had trouble as a beaten favorite January 29 … jockey Cristian Esqueda is having a strong season. 4 Hiclass Attraction probably “needed one” in early January … don’t be surprised to see a better try this time.

RACE 4 5 Cashs Menace had trouble last start at...

Santa Anita Stable Notes – Ed Golden – Sunday, Feb 14th

• THE RAIL IS NO DETERRENT FOR UNBEATEN NYQUIST

INSIDE IS THE SHORTEST WAY AROUND FOR NYQUIST

Nyquist makes his much-anticipated three-year-old debut Monday in the Grade II San

Vicente Stakes at seven furlongs, the first step on what Team O’Neill hopes will lead to the Kentucky Derby on May 7.

Winner of all five career starts, his last three Grade I stakes including the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Oct. 31, Nyquist drew the rail against five rivals, not necessarily any trainer’s favorite post position sprinting, but Doug O’Neill is taking it in stride.

“I think with a good horse, it’s part of it,” he said. “You take what they give you, and

sometimes the rail’s not a bad thing. It’s the shortest way around. You just have to break good. We’re pretty confident in Nyquist. He’s a good...
