Saturday’s Results

Baghdaria refused to back down from a tough French Park in the Silverbulletday Stakes, winning by a nose over the previously undefeated odds-on race favorite. “I really thought we were beat at the furlong pole,” said Baghdaria’s jockey, Cliff Berry, “but she didn’t think so.” French Park was making her first start since the end of November. She may run next in the March 5 Miss Bonnie at Gulfstream.
