Trained by Ted H. West, bred by Mark Gorman & Doug O’Neill and owned by Gulliver Racing, LLC, the 6-year-old gelding by Decarchy, who came off a close third place finish in the Grade III Precisionist Stakes May 2, got his first stakes win and his sixth career tally from 29 starts. (The Tiznow, run as Santa Anita’s ninth race, is part of the Golden State Series which is restricted to horses bred or sired in California). “Going into the far turn, I had the rail and my horse was really running,” said Baze, who got his third stakes win of the day in the Tiznow. “When I grabbed him (approaching the furlong pole), I didn’t really know if he would get goin’ again.

Off at 41-1 in a field of eleven 3-year-olds, Neveradoubt paid $85.40, $30.60 and $13.40.

Sheer Pleasure Romps in Melair

From Santa Anita Publicity ARCADIA, Calif.

Tamarando Tries Turf in Snow Chief

By DRF.com ARCADIA, Calif. (Apr. 24, 2014) – Santa Anita is the new home of the California Gold Rush, and turf is the new surface of the $250,000 Snow Chief Stakes for 3-year-olds. The timing is perfect for Snow Chief favorite Tamarando. Jerry Hollendorfer trains Tamarando and six others entered in five stakes for California-breds on Saturday at Santa Anita, where the Gold Rush program will take place for the first time after 13 years at Hollywood Park. And for the first time, the Snow Chief is on turf. The Grade 1 winner Tamarando is the class of the Snow Chief and is trying new footing. Based on his turf workouts, Hollendorfer assistant Dan Ward is certain he will love it. “I’ve seen him work [many] times, and I’ve never seen him work like he works on turf,” Ward said. “On the turf, he’s a different horse. He seems like he gets a hold of it.” [DRF Live: Get live reports and handicapping insights from Santa Anita this Saturday] If Tamarando... ...

Swiss Lake Yodeler, Rovenna in Melair

By DRF.com ARCADIA, Calif. (Apr. 24, 2014) – Rovenna has been flawless in sprints for California-bred 3-year-old fillies at Santa Anita in recent months, winning an optional claimer in February and the $200,000 Evening Jewel Stakes over 6 1/2 furlongs April 5. How she performs over 1 1/16 miles in Saturday’s $250,000 Melair Stakes for California-bred 3-year-old fillies will determine her 2014 campaign. “If she stretches out and runs a big race, we’ve got a lot of options with her,” trainer Mike Machowsky said. Machowsky insists that Rovenna should not be judged on her past two-turn races. Last November, Rovenna finished third, beaten by 5 1/2 lengths, behind Swiss Lake Yodeler in the $200,000 Golden State Juvenile Fillies Stakes over a mile on the undercard of the first day of the Breeders’ Cup at Santa Anita. In January, she was third, beaten by 1 1/4 lengths, in the California Cup Oaks over a mile on turf.

By DRF.com ARCADIA, Calif. (Apr. 24, 2014) – Marks Mine has developed a reputation as a top female sprinter in Northern California in the last two years, compiling four stakes wins.
