ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) — Secret Circle won the $1.5 million Sprint by a neck, giving Hall of Famer trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Martin Garcia their second Breeders’ Cup victories.
Garcia guided Secret Circle over six furlongs in 1:08.73 on Saturday at Santa Anita. The 4-year-old colt is co-owned by Mike Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, who campaigned 2010 Preakness winner Lookin At Lucky with Baffert.
Secret Circle paid $7, $4.80 and $3.60 as the favorite.
Laugh Track returned $13.40 and $8.60.
Gentlemen’s Bet was another 1 12 lengths back in third and paid $7 to show.
Earlier, Baffert and Garcia teamed to win the $2 million Juvenile with 10-1 shot New Year’s Day.
Secret Compass, Baffert’s entry in the $2 million Juvenile Fillies, broke down and had to be euthanized.
