ARCADIA, Calif. (March 6, 2010) – Mother nature finally gave rain weary Santa Anita a break on Saturday so that a program which featured 4 graded stakes, including the historic Santa Anita Handicap could go off unhindered by threats of a washed out track. Misremembered did not forget to hurry across the finish line just in front of fast closing Neko Bay thanks to a skillful ride by new jockey Martin Garcia and different instructions from trainer, co-owner and breeder Bob Baffert.  St Trinians finished sixth as the 3-1 wagering favorite and was attempting to become the first filly or mare to win the Big 'Cap in its 73-year history. more...
