—Mar 10— Bob Baffert’s precocious sophomore start, McKinizie, followed his easy win in the Sham Stakes in January with an equally impressive win in the San Felipe Stakes on Saturday.
Sent to post at 3/5, Hall of Fame rider, Mike Smith, rushed McKinzie from that gate and was never seriously challenged, winning by two-and-a-half lengths, the same as his victory in the Sham.
Bolt d’Oro, an easy winner of the California Derby at Golden Gate Fields in January, made a mild run at the winner down the stretch, but the race was never in doubt.
After Bolt d’Oro, the order of finish was Kanthaka (the San Vicente winner), Peace (fifth in the Robert B. Lewis and fourth in the Mine That Bird Derby), Lombo (last in the Sham and fourth in the Robert B. Lewis) and Axelrod (second in the Robert B. Lewis).
