Saturday, March 04, 2006With convincing victories in the Hollywood Futurity (gr. I) and San Rafael Stakes (gr.

But after Saturday's impressive win over Bessemer Trust Breeders' Cup Juvenile (gr. I) champ Stevie Wonderboy under steady handling by Alex Solis in the $150,000 San Rafael (gr. II) at Santa Anita, that shouldn't be the case any longer.
