Orange County Register: Imagination, jockey Frankie Dettori win San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita
ARCADIA — Despite everything, the western road to the Triple Crown series still runs still goes through Bob Baffert’s stable.
Sunday at Santa Anita, it didn’t matter that his best young horse had been scratched from $300,000 San Felipe Stakes and that his two remaining horses in the race are officially not Kentucky Derby material.
Baffert-trained Imagination and Baffert-trained Wine Me Up ran first and second after a bumpy clubhouse turn before Imagination and jockey Frankie Dettori won a stretch battle by a head in the 1 1/16-mile San Felipe.
