Drill pulled off a mild upset this afternoon in the $150,000 San Vicente Stakes (gr. II), gamely defeating American Act by a nose to win the seven-furlong sprint in 1:21.28.
Ridden to victory by Martin Garcia, the colt was sent off as the 7-2 third choice behind heavily favored Creative Cause in the field of four. At the start, he broke just a step slowly before recovering to race second early on as American Act set a moderate pace of :22.78 and :45.83. Let's Get Crackin was racing in third toward the rail, followed by Creative Cause. Only three lengths separated first from last.

TRIPLE CROWN COUNTDOWN -- February 19th, 2012
This day of racing is one that I have been anticipating for weeks. While there certainly isn't much scheduled in the way of major races, there is, however, one stakes event that every horse racing fan will have their eyes on. That race is the $150,000 San Vicente Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita Park, and while it may have drawn a small field, it is certainly not low on talent. It is in this race that my current pick to win the Kentucky Derby -- Creative Cause -- shall make his much-anticipated and long awaited 2012 debut.

MIDNIGHT TRANSFER WINS THE SAN PEDRO!
Midnight Transfer rallied furiously inside the final sixteenth of a mile to win the $75,000 San Pedro Stakes at Santa Anita Park by a desperate nose.
Ridden to victory by Joel Rosario, the colt settled into the third position early on down along the rail as Got Even set a blazing pace on the far outside. Passing Game was in second, with Let's Get Crackin up close in fourth, followed by Coach Sickie and Drill. Four lengths seperated the field heading down the backstretch.
