Good Magic’s Reincarnate Wires Los Alamitos Derby

Reincarnate (c, 3, Good Magic–Allanah, by Scat Daddy), 13th for trainer Tim Yakteen after racing on a scorching early pace in the GI Kentucky Derby, returned to the Bob Baffert barn with a stylish 2 1/2-length win in Saturday evening's $125,000 Los Alamitos Derby.

The even-money favorite showed the way through early fractions of :23.33 and :47.75. Racing under pressure heading into the far turn, he leveled off nicely into the stretch and was never seriously threatened by last out GI Santa Anita Derby third-place finisher and second-choice Skinner (Curlin). Prince Abu Dhabi (Palace Malice) was third.

Reincarnate made the first five starts of his career for Baffert, led by a game victory in the GIII Sham S. Jan. 8. He made three subsequent starts for Yakteen, including a pair of third-place finishes in Oaklawn's GII Rebel S. Feb. 25 and GI Arkansas Derby Apr. 1. He was beaten by 24 1/2 lengths on the first Saturday in May.

“We used this race as a prep with (3-year-old champion) West Coast (in 2017) for the Travers and we'd like to do the same with this colt with a race like that,” Baffert said. “I told (jockey) Juan (Hernandez) that he was back to how he was when he won the Sham. It was very important to get the win with him especially when you know how good Skinner is. This race always comes up tough and it was a big win for the team.”

The stakes-winning Allanah produced a colt by Goldencents in 2021 ($52,000 OBSMAR '23 purchase by Doug O'Neill) and a colt by Liam's Map in 2022.

Tapit’s Fort Bragg Makes the Grade in Heart-Stopping Dwyer

Fort Bragg (c, 3, Tapit–March X Press, by Shanghai Bobby), scratched from last month's GI Woody Stephens S. after spiking a fever, narrowly outslugged the previously unbeaten Saudi Crown (Always Dreaming) to gamely capture Saturday's GIII Dwyer S. at Belmont Park.

Adding blinkers for this, the 3-5 favorite traveled smartly in third as Saudi Crown showed the way through an opening quarter in :22.47. Up a spot into second through an eye-opening half mile in :44.63, Fort Bragg loomed boldly on the outside as the two hit the quarter pole together. Saudi Crown and Fort Bragg locked horns down the stretch, and, after a long drive, Fort Bragg fought by to win by a hard-fought nose in a race that didn't deserve a loser. Harrodsburg (Constitution) was 11 lengths back in third.

Fort Bragg, a well-beaten third for Bob Baffert in last December's GII Los Alamitos Futurity, made three previous outings for Tim Yakteen this term, headed by a too-good-to-lose second-place finish in the GII Pat Day Mile S. at Churchill Downs May 6.

“We love winning those big races in New York,” Baffert said. “It means a lot for the horse. We were always very excited about him, but he was just immature mentally. He's just figuring it out. His last race was huge at Churchill. He just got away bad that day or he probably would have won the race. I think he's getting it all together. They went fast today. He went against a really nice horse and they just laid it down, but class always prevails. It was a good race with two good horses.”

Pedigree Notes:

Fort Bragg becomes the 160th stakes winner/101st graded winner worldwide for leading sire Tapit. Fort Bragg is the first foal out of the stakes-winning March X Press, who is also responsible for a Quality Road colt of 2022 and a Honor A. P. filly of 2023. March X Press brought $560,000 from Parks Investment Group at the 2021 KEENOV sale. March X Press previously brought $330,000 from Newgate Farm while carrying Fort Bragg at the 2019 KEENOV Sale,
