JOCKEY QUOTES

GARY STEVENS, PAULINA’S LOVE, WINNER: “I’ve fallen in love with her. These guys have been so patient with her and have allowed Richard to do what he wants with her. She just keeps developing and getting better and better. She exploded at the eighth pole just like the last time and when I saw 12-1 on the morning line with an 88 Beyer number last time . . . that wasn’t right; she exploded that day.

“I rode her with a lot of confidence, like she was the favorite. She minds, she lets me do what I want, whatever the pace scenario is. When she’s done, I’d like to take her home and put her in my backyard.”

KENT DESORMEAUX, STORMY LUCY, SECOND: “There wasn’t a straw in her path. She gave me a dream ride. She absolutely flew to the wire. The winner was a nose better today, that’s all. They were too good today.”

          ALEX SOLIS, KERI BELLE, THIRD: “I had a perfect trip . . . She ran hard, she just didn’t get there.”

TRAINER QUOTES

DAVID MEAH, ASSISTANT TO RICHARD BALTAS, PAULINA’S LOVE, WINNER: “She’s special at this distance and even better when she gets a little time between races like we did here. Seven, eight weeks is a huge thing for her. Four or five weeks, she doesn’t fire like this, but seven, eight weeks and she can fire.

“She had a perfect trip. I didn’t expect Flavien (Prat on Moanin) to go out like that (on the lead), but it’s OK. We came home in front and that’s all that matters at...

Good afternoon IdaBet.com players, we thought you would want to know how Zenyatta’s offspring are faring and thanks for choosing IdaBet.com!

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 20, 2016)—Whenever the legendary mare Zenyatta’s name is mentioned, expectations run high.  And so was the case leading into Saturday’s third race at Santa Anita, a $56,000 maiden special weight for 3-year-olds at seven furlongs, as Zenyatta’s second foal, a Jerry and Ann Moss homebred colt by top sire Tapit, named Ziconic, made his career debut.

Breaking from post position five in a field of seven, the John Shirreffs-conditioned Ziconic, with Gary Stevens aboard, was devoid of any early speed and was more than 15 ½ lengths off the lead after a half mile.  Coming to the quarter pole though, Ziconic was in high gear and although he was next to last turning for home, he rallied in a manner reminiscent of his mother to finish third, beaten 1 ¾ lengths.

“We knew he was going to break slow and it took him a little while to get wound up,” said Stevens.  “I was at the three eighths pole and was so far back I said ‘Buddy, your momma could win from here, do it!’

“I told John that I never got to ride the big mare Zenyatta, but I know what she felt like now.  They’re going to have a lot of fun with him.  The best part is that he enjoys his job.  He loved what he was doing today, especially that last eighth of a mile.”

As for Shirreffs, who trained Zenyatta through 19 victories from 20 starts, including the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic in 2009, he was understandably pleased with Ziconic’s first performance.

“He warmed up well and he did as good as he could do today,” he said.  “You always have expectations.  You dream.  With Zenyatta, we realized those dreams.”

Given Zenyatta’s come from behind style of running, Shirreffs was asked if he felt a small sense of déjà vu as Ziconic’s debut...

With favored Treasuring begging for racing room at the rail, lightly raced Everqueen, under Joe Talamo, shot clear a furlong out and took Friday’s $58,000 Santa Anita allowance feature by 2 ½ lengths, as the 3-year-old filly by Colonel John got six furlongs in 1:09.34.

Breaking from post position four in a field of seven 3-year-old fillies, Everqueen showed good early speed as she sat a close second just to the outside of longshot Princess Katie around the far turn before opening up on her competition.

Off at 5-1, she paid $12.60, $4.60 and $3.60.  Trained by Ron Ellis and owned by McShane Racing, LLC, Everqueen was an impressive maiden $75,000 claiming winner here on Jan. 24 and was making her fourth start today.  With the winner’s share of $34,800, she increased her earnings to $59,410.

Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Victor Espinoza, Treasuring, who came off a close fourth place finish in the Grade II, 6 ½ furlong Santa Ynez Stakes Jan. 2, was full of run at the rail but by the time she was able to split horses a furlong out, the winner had all the momentum and she had to settle for second money.  Off at 4-5 in her seventh career start, Treasuring paid $2.80 and $2.40.

Ridden by Santiago Gonzalez, Asian’s Way raced just to the outside of the favorite around the turn and despite getting first run on her, she proved third best.  Off at 9-2, Asian’s Way paid $3.20 to show.
