    • Pegram, Watson and Weitman's Explora (Blame–Collections Choice, by Bernardini) stayed close throughout and once in front, the even-money choice proved too tough to run down as she held off Counting Stars (Honor A.P.) to take Sunday's GIII Honeybee Stakes at Oaklawn Park. The 1 1/16-mile test for sophomore fillies is a point earning race for the GI Kentucky Oaks. The final time for the race was 1:43.52. The race was the second win on the day for jockey Flavien Prat. A first-out winner at Del Mar last summer, she finished runner-up in the GI Del Mar Debutante before annexing the GII Oak Leaf Stakes at Santa Anita. Second in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar on Oct. 31, the dark bay was an impressive 5 1/4-length winner of the Santa Ynez Stakes on Jan. 10 O-Pegram & Watson & Weitman; Mesingw Farm LLC (KY); T-Bob Baffert.   The post Blame’s Explora Proves Best in the Honeybee appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

    • So Happy (Runhappy), Brant (Gun Runner) and Potente (Into Mischief) all worked Sunday in preparation for expected starts in the Mar. 7 GII San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita. So Happy, winner of the GII San Vicente Stakes going seven furlongs Jan. 10, blazed four furlongs in :46.8 for trainer Mark Glatt. Hall of Famer Mike Smith was aboard for the work. “Dynamite,” Smith said. “He's never been a flashy work horse in the morning, a bit lazy actually, but this was one of his best works if not the best. He was just cruising. It was all him.” The San Felipe will be Run Happy's first time racing around two turns. “You never know until they do it,” Smith said of the added distance. “But he's given me every indication in his sprint races that he would do it. I never felt like I was on fumes at the end.” GI Del Mar Futurity winner Brant and Potente are both trained by Bob Baffert. Brant worked five furlongs in :59.8, while Potente went four furlongs in :47.4. Baffert confirmed that, as of Sunday morning, he plans to enter both colts in the San Felipe. He added he has not decided yet whether to enter nominees Boyd or Buetane. A $3-million OBS March purchase last year, Brant is owned by Zedan Racing Stables. The San Felipe would be Brant's first start since finishing third in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile on Oct. 31 at Del Mar. Potente, a $2.4 million buy at Fasig-Tipton, is campaigned by Speedway Stable. Potente won his debut going six furlongs on Jan. 31 at Santa Anita.

    • Wathnan Racing's Commandment (Into Mischief) looked no worse for wear at Payson Park Sunday morning after taking the GII Coolmore Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream one day earlier. “He looks great this morning,” trainer Brad Cox said. “We're real pleased with him.” Winner of the Mucho Macho Man Stakes in early January, Commandment fended off 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' Chief Wallabee (Constitution) in the Kentucky Derby point-earning qualifier. The 1 1/16-mile test serves as a prep for the GI Curlin Florida Derby Mar. 29 at Gulfstream. While the one-sixteenth mile shorter Fountain of Youth ended at the first finish line on Gulfstream's 1 1/8 mile track, the Florida Derby concludes at the second finish line at the oval. “I think it was important that Irad [Ortiz Jr.] asked him to run to the second wire there for the experience moving forward,” explained Cox. “If we pursue the Florida Derby, it makes sense to continue on to the second wire.” “You're only doing it if everything's going well. If you're fading or not doing well down the lane, you don't ask him, but if you have horse and you're finishing well, you may as well go ahead and educate him, stay on and finish up.” Commandment, fourth in his six-furlong career debut at Keeneland last fall, won a seven-furlong allowance at Churchill Downs in November prior to his Mucho Macho Man victory. “I think his first run at Keeneland, if you actually watch it and watch the gallop-out, he showed a good bit there as well. It was a better performance on tape than it was on paper. I think it was a fair way of looking at it,” Cox said. “He's been nothing but impressive, the way I look at it, in the afternoons from the time he broke his maiden, won the Mucho Macho Man and [Saturday].” Michael and Katherine Ball's Chief Wallabee earned 25 Derby points for his strong second-place finish in just his second career start. According to trainer Bill Mott, there are 'four or five races to choose from' for Chief Wallabee's next start.
