(Jan. 16, 2013)\u2014It\u2019s Bob Baffert versus Peter Miller versus Doug O\u2019Neill in Saturday\u2019s Grade II, $150,000 Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita for older horses going six furlongs\u2014and don\u2019t forget to throw in Steve Asmussen.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baffert has entered a pair; multiple stakes winner Drill and veteran Apriority, a 6-year-old who recently arrived from South Florida, while Miller sends out his stable\u2019s meal ticket, the ultra consistent Comma to the Top, a 5-year-old gelding who comes off a sharp win in the Grade III Daytona Stakes going 6 \u00bd furlongs on Dec. 29.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill will be represented by the hard-hitting Private Zone, who earned a best last-out Beyer Speed figure of 103 when second, beaten three-quarters of a length, in the Malibu.\u00a0 And Asmussen will try to spring a surprise with Justin Phillip, who comes off a good effort in the Breeders\u2019 Cup Sprint on Nov. 3.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Drill, who was supplemented to the Palos Verdes for $3,000 by his owners, comes off a respectable fourth in the opening day Grade I Malibu Stakes going seven furlongs.\u00a0 In the Malibu , Drill was away slowly at 10-1 and finished full of run, 3 \u00be lengths behind winner Jimmy Creed.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Drill had been idle since winning the Grade III, seven furlong Lazarro Barrera Stakes on May 12, and could well improve with a recent race under his belt.\u00a0 The 4-year-old colt by Lawyer Ron has solid sprint credentials, as he has two additional graded stakes wins to his credit at seven furlongs, the Grade I Del Mar Futurity and the Grade II San Vicente at Santa Anita last February.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson or John Weitman, Drill will again be ridden by Martin Garcia who was aboard on opening day and who has guided him to all three of his stakes victories.\u00a0 The Kentucky-bred has a record of 12-4-2-0, with earnings of $437,710.\"\"<\/a>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A $22,000 2-year-old in training purchase in April, 2010, Comma to the Top became a millionaire in winning the Daytona, which was shifted from the turf to a wet-fast main track.\u00a0 Like Drill, he was a Grade I winner at two, as he took the CashCall Futurity at 1 1\/16 miles and then went on the following spring to run second, beaten a head in the Grade I Santa Anita Derby.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWords can\u2019t describe a horse like this,\u201d said Miller following the Daytona win.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s gone through so much, but he wants to beat you.\u00a0 He\u2019s just an iron horse.\u00a0 He\u2019s a $22,000 gelding and you wish you had a barnful of them.\u00a0 He makes training easy.\u00a0 He tries every time.\u00a0 He just wants to please you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Owned by Gary Barber, Roger Birnbaum and Kevin Tsujihara, Comma to the Top has more than \u201cpleased\u201d his connections, with an overall mark of 25-11-2-1 and earnings of $1,027,696.\u00a0 Edwin Maldonado will ride the Florida-bred son of Bwana Charlie back.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A 4-year-old Canadian-bred by Macho Uno, Private Zone began his career in Panama and will seek his first stateside win on Saturday.\u00a0 Owned by Good Friends Stable, Private Zone has earnings of $186,580, from an overall mark of 15-3-5-1.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A Grade II stakes winner going seven furlongs at age three, 5-year-old Justin Phillip has a 9-2-2-1 mark at six furlongs and will break from the far outside on Saturday.\u00a0 Owned by Zayat Stables, LLC, he has earnings of $577,162 and will be ridden back by Rafael Bejarano. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The complete field for the Palos Verdes, which will be run as the fifth race on a nine-race program, with jockeys and weights in post position order:\u00a0 Apriority, Julien Leparoux, 118; Drill, Martin Garcia, 120; Canonize, Jose Valdivia, 118; Sahara Sky, Joe Talamo, 118; Comma To The Top, Edwin Maldonado, 118; Private Zone, Martin Pedroza, 120, and Justin Phillip, Rafael Bejarano, 118.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Idle since the Goldikova, A Jealous Woman\u2019s best races have been when she can make an uncontested lead as she has done in her last two victories\u2014both of them with veteran Brice Blanc aboard.\u00a0 A 7-year-old California-bred mare by Muqtarib, A Jealous Woman has been ridden by Blanc in eight of her last nine starts, of which she has won three.\u00a0 She has career earnings of $383,256 from an overall record of 18-7-3-3.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019ll get a new rider in Garrett Gomez on Saturday and the 5-year-old mare could be taken off the early pace.\u00a0 Owned by the Batchelor Family Trust or J. Partridge, Byrony has earnings of $136,410 from an overall mark of 25-7-1-5.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Owned by Alessandro Arcangeli, the 5-year-old mare will again accompanied by regular rider Corey Nakatani.\u00a0 Group I Stakes-placed in Brazil , she is 4-3-1-0 at a mile and her overall record is 10-3-3-3, with earnings of $139,119.<\/span><\/p>\n
