LONGSHOT IRON ROB PROVES BEST IN $75,000 BAFFLE STAKES;
RIDDEN BY GONZALEZ & TRAINED BY PAPAPRODROMOU,
HE GETS 6 ½ FURLONGS ON THE MAIN TRACK IN 1:15.50
Supplemented at a cost of $1,500, longshot Iron Rob validated the investment with a half length win in Sunday’s $75,000 Baffle Stakes at 6 ½ furlongs. Originally scheduled for the hillside turf at the same distance, the Baffle was switched to the main track due to rainfall earlier this week. Ridden by Santiago Gonzalez and trained by George Papaprodromou, the 3-year-old Florida-bred colt by Twirling Candy got the distance in 1:15.50.
Breaking from post position two in a field that was reduced to four sophomores by a pair of late scratches, Iron Rob sat a restrained second to favored Tiz a Billy around the far turn, took over a furlong out and won while eased up a bit at the wire.
With no show wagering, Iron Rob, who was pulled up after the race on the Club House turn and did not return to the Winner’s Circle, was off at 5-1 and paid $13.60 and $3.80.

Thievery pulled a minor upset in the $75,000 Two Altazano Stakes and Bravura was much the best in the$75,000 Jim’s Orbit Stakes.
Last month Victoria Ashford’s homebred Bravura was a convincing winner in the $50,000 Groovy Stakes. He was heavily favored for tonight’s $75,000 Jim’s Orbit and did not disappoint. Jockey C. J. McMahon, guided the chestnut colt from his far outside post to the lead and won the six-furlong stakes in 1:10.59, one of the quickest times of the 2016 Sam Houston Race Park meet.
“We expected a great race and he delivered,” said Calhoun. “I was glad to see him get away so quickly. This colt’s very sharp and. C. J. fits him very well.”
“He walked into the gate and stood perfectly,” said McMahon. “He left there on his “A” game. When the other horse ran to us, I squeezed and he ran on. He never ceases to amaze me.”
Ashford was extremely proud of her Early Flyer colt.
“I’ve bred horses for 25 years and this was my first Texas Stallion Stakes,” said Ashford. “It means...
