Quick Enough wins stakes at Santa Anita
ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Quick Enough defeated Amazombie by a half-length to win Sunday's $100,000 Sensational Star Handicap for California-breds at Santa Anita.
Ridden by Patrick Valenzuela, Quick Enough ran 6 1/2 furlongs on the turf in 1:13.52 and paid $10.60, $4.20 and $3.40. Amazombie returned $3 and $2.60 as the 13-10 favorite, while Dancing in Silks was another two lengths back in third and paid $5 to show.
Valenzuela rode three winners on the card, and said of Amazombie: “I never hit my horse. I just hand rode him. He stuck his neck out and put everything into the race.”
The victory was worth $375,360 for Quick Enough, who has eight wins in 19 career starts.
