—Feb 17— Agave Racing Stable and Little Red Feather Racing’s Fault was sent to post as the heavy favorite in the Grade II Buena Vista Stakes at Santa Anita and didn’t disappoint, drawing away to a three-and-a-quarter lengths win over Thundering Sky.
Her jockey, Giovanni Franco, seemed impressed.
“Well I knew she is a nice filly. She’s been running in some nice stakes and placing in them. She just changed coasts and I guess she’s liking it because she seemed to today. She felt very good, just came out and took care of business.” he said.
Trainer Philp D’Amato was just as pleased.
I knew she was a very consistent filly and was only getting better back east,” he said. “… from the very first time I breezed her I thought, ‘This is a horse I’ve been looking for in this category for quite a while.'”
“She’s shown me a lot in the mornings and she trained like she belonged in here. You never know until you run against these girls in here and she showed that she fits.”
Bet down to 1/10, Fault paid just $2.20 for the win. After Fault came Thundering Sky, Sassy Little Lila, Madame Stripes, Insta Erma and Madam Dancealot.
