Saturday Race Results
– From maiden winner to stakes winner and on the Derby Trail for sure: Doctor Decherd wins the Aventura by a nose.
– A fresh High Limit is a winning High Limit: Coming off a three month layoff, the Bobby Frankel-trained four-year-old eked out a victory in the San Pasqual, his first since last year’s Louisiana Derby.
– High Limit’s win was one of five for jockey Pat Valenzuela yesterday. Another was Itty Bitty Pretty’s mild upset over Sabatini in the Santa Ysabel.
– Funny Cide continues to confound: The six-year-old gelding raced near the back throughout the Mr. Prospector Handicap and finished second to last in his first start in seven months. Gaff won the race in a quick 1:08.5.
