    • February 22, 2025

    Bob Baffert-trained horses dominate nominations for the $300,000, Grade II San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita on March 1, including Robert B. Lewis Stakes winner and runner-up Citizen Bull and Rodriguez and San Vicente Stakes 1-2 finishers Barnes and Romanesque.

    Michael McCarthy-trained Los Alamitos Futurity winner Journalism and John Shirreffs’ impressive maiden winner Baeza also are among the 14 nominees posted Saturday for the 1 1/16-mile race, the last 3-year-old stakes at the Arcadia track before the April 5 Santa Anita Derby, the West Coast prep for the May 3 Kentucky Derby.

    The San Felipe is one of four graded stakes on the March 1 card, headed by the $300,000, Grade I Santa Anita Handicap. Ten nominees for the Big ’Cap include 2022 winner Express Train, recent Grade II winners JB Strikes Back and Katonah, and out-of-state stakes winners Hit Show and Locked.
