Sensible Cat Pounces On California-Bred Foes In Soviet Problem

Sensible Cat provided trainer Carla Gaines with her first stakes win at Los Alamitos with a come-from-behind victory in the $100,000 Soviet Problem Stakes on Saturday.

A little more than five weeks after breaking her maiden at eight furlongs on the Del Mar turf course in her second career start, the 2-year-old daughter of Bluegrass Cat demonstrated Saturday she is equally adept on dirt at the Cypress, Calif., track.

Owned by Irvin Racing Stable and ridden by Juan Hernandez, Sensible Cat, the 9-2 fourth choice in the field of 10 California bred or sired fillies, was reserved off the early pace, rallied outside in the stretch, collared 5-2 favorite Dylans Wild Cat inside the eighth pole and went on to score by 1 ¾ lengths.

Out of the Street Sense mare Sensible Girl, Sensible Cat completed the mile in 1:37.94. She paid $11, $6.20 and $3.60 while increasing her earnings to $89,700.

“I thought it was tremendous,'' said Gaines. “We thought right away she was going to be a horse that wanted two turns. She had some mucus and was coughing this summer at Del Mar, so we missed getting her in a long race there, so we sprinted her once (a sixth-place finish Sept. 7) to get her some experience.

“We couldn't wait to get her going two turns and she responded (a turf victory Nov. 6 at Del Mar). It's nice to know we have the option of grass or dirt with her.''

The stakes success was the second in a span of six days for Hernandez, who used similar off-the-pace tactics to win the Grade 3 Bayakoa with Proud Emma Dec. 6.

“(Gaines) had me watch the replay of her last race and said to ride her that way,'' said Hernandez, the leading rider through the first six days of the meet with eight victories. “She broke well and I wanted to sit off the leaders.

“I wasn't sure if she was going to go by early in the stretch, but when I switched and hit her left-handed, she really responded.''

Governor Goteven, the second choice at 3-1, outfinished Dylans Wild Cat by a half-length for the place. She paid $5.00 and $3.60 while the show price on Dylans Wild Cat was $2.80.

I'm So Anna, Super Game, pacesetter Mucha Woman, Will Take a Kiss, Miss Glorious, Westward Breeze and Love Wins completed the order of finish.

Racing resumes Sunday at Los Alamitos. Post time is 12:30 p.m. Pacific.

$800,000 Guaranteed Jackpot In Sunday’s Rainbow 6 At Gulfstream

The 20-cent Rainbow 6 jackpot pool will be guaranteed at $800,000 Sunday at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., where an 11-race program will get underway at 12:05 p.m.

The popular multi-race wager went unsolved for the ninth day of the Championship Meet, Saturday when multiple tickets with all six winners were each worth $25,942.04.

The jackpot pool is only paid out when there is a single unique ticket sold with all six winners. On days when there is no unique ticket, 70 percent of that day's pool goes back to those bettors holding tickets with the most winners, while 30 percent is carried over to the jackpot pool.

Sunday's Rainbow 6 sequence will span Races 6-11, kicked off by a well-stocked maiden special weight race for Florida-bred 2-year-olds at 7 ½ furlongs on turf. Mike Maker-trained Chess's Dream is set for a return to turf while taking on nine rivals. The son of Jess's Dream finished second twice on turf in his first two career starts during Gulfstream Park's Spring/Summer Meet before switching to the main track for an off-the-board finish in the $400,000 In Reality. Trainer Christophe Clement will unveil Borkan, a son of Speightstown.

A six-furlong sprint for $12,500 claimers in Race 7 is followed by a pair of salty optional claiming allowance races in Races 8 and 9.

Michael Trombetta-trained Spun Glass, a daughter of Hard Spun who has won her last two races at Presque Isle Downs and Woodbine, goes for three in a row in Race 8, a five-furlong turf sprint for fillies and mares.. Bob Hess Jr.-trained Lenzi's Lucky Lady, who captured the FSS Desert Vixen last year,  is scheduled to make her second start since finishing off the board in the Charles Town Oaks (G3).

In Race 9, a six-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up, Irad Ortiz Jr. is slated to ride With Verve for the first time. The Larry Bates-trained son of Kantharos, who won last season's Hutcheson, is coming off a third-place finish in the Millions Sprint Preview at Gulfstream Park West.

A $50,000 claiming race for 3-year-olds and up at a mile on turf in Race 10 and a five-furlong maiden special weight race for 2-year-old fillies on turf in Race 11 wrap up the Rainbow 6 Sequence. In the finale, Hall of Famer Bill Mott will send out Candy Jar, a Godolphin homebred daughter of Candy Ride, for her career debut.
