A Baffert longshot in a Santa Anita maiden race (that isn't a misprint) tops this week's list. 5). MAYKOMOTION, TAM, 3/7, 7 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 84 (c, 3, by Vekoma–Maymont, by Unbridled's Song) O-Bona Venture Stables and Bianco Stable. B-Dominique Damico (Fla). T-George Weaver. J-John Velazquez. He couldn't match strides with the likes of Jackson Hole in his first start in December, but outran these from the start and was drawing away through the final quarter. His five half-siblings to race have been predominantly cheap claimers, but this son of Vekoma could be the black sheep of the family–in a good way. 4). CORONA DE ORO, FG, 3/7, 1 1/16 miles (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 87 (c, 3, by Bolt d'Oro–Lemon de Oro, by Lemon Drop Kid) O-On Our Own Stable, Commonwealth Stable, U Racing Stables, Saints or Sinners, Titletown Racing, Jim Nichols, Edwin Barker, Daniel Rivers, John Haines and Dallas Stewart. B-Willow Oaks Stable (Ky). T-Dallas Stewart. J-Brian Hernandez, Jr. This Fasig-Tipton grad touted himself in January with a half-length second to Noble Affair in the fastest maiden race of the Fair Grounds meet–a sizzling sprint that earned him a 92 Beyer. And he followed through Saturday at 3-to-5 odds, graduating against older horses by 4 1/2 lengths around two turns. With these kinds of numbers already in March of his 3-year-old season, he's a strong candidate to enter the stakes ranks at some point in the not-too-distant future. 3). CIVIL LIBERTY, SA, 3/7, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 89 (2nd) (c, 3, by Independence Hall–Love and Respect, by Tiznow) O-Great Friends Stables and Mark Davis. B-St Simon Place (Ky). T-Chief Stipe O'Neill. J-Emisael Jaramillo. At the quarter-pole, this seemed like a rare Santa Anita maiden that wouldn't be won by Bob Baffert. Civil Liberty, a Fasig-Tipton graduate, was returning to the maiden ranks after his third in the GI Del Mar Futurity and fourth in the GI American Pharoah, and cruised to the front as if headed to the winners' circle. And then, sure enough, a Baffert 10-to-1 firster (below) nailed him in the final yards. It's a small consolation, but at least Civil Liberty gets to be acknowledged in “Five Fastest Maidens” a second time: last July he was second to Brant on debut with an 87 Beyer. 2). SHE'S A GEMMA, OP, 3/6, 6 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 89 (f, 4, by Nyquist–Florida Fabulous, by High Cotton) O-CJ Thoroughbreds. B-Eden Farm (Ky). T-Bill Mott. J-Luis Saez. It was a case of preparation meeting opportunity when She's a Gemma roared to a 9 1/2-length score in Hot Springs. Mott had made van arrangements to ship veterans Batten Down, Bendoog and Stars and Stripes from Payson Park to Oaklawn, and the filly was also ready to run with nothing immediately available at Gulfstream. Besides, Oaklawn's $110k maiden purses are roughly double what is on offer in Hallandale. The van ride went well, as did the results. Batten Down romped in a 1 1/2-mile stakes, Bendoog gave odds-on Saudi Crown all he could handle in a ratings handicap and Stars and Stripes won a second-level allowance. 1). CRUDE VELOCITY, SA, 3/7, 6 1/2 furlongs (VIDEO) Beyer Speed Figure- 89 (c, 3, by Beau Liam–Sweetnsour Kitty, by Lemon Drop Kid) O-CSLR Racing Partners. B-La Ciega (Ky). T-Bob Baffert. J-Florent Geroux. Turns out Baffert hasn't yet emptied his barn of quality 3-year-old maidens. First-timer and Fasig-Tipton buy Crude Velocity ran down a proven commodity in Civil Liberty despite an eventful trip: he spotted rivals four lengths with a sluggish break, rushed into traffic at the half-mile pole, then was steered out only to check again. Even more noteworthy: this wasn't expected. Crude Velocity's $23 win payoff is the second-highest among Baffert's 191 maiden winners the last five years. The 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' is from the first crop of Stonestreet-bred Beau Liam, a $7,500 Airdrie stallion who retired prematurely after two gaudy triple-digit Beyers. Crude Velocity's 89 Beyer is the second-highest of his sire's 62 starters as of this writing.

Horsemen attributed the cancellation to the shift toward turf racing at Laurel Park that has made maintaining a viable horse population harder during the colder months along with competition from Colonial Downs on the same weekend.View the full article
