Share

Aaron U. Jones’ Sabulose, ridden by Robbie Davis, led all the way and posted a 1 1/2-length victory in the $42,000 feature race on Friday at the Oak Tree meeting at Santa Anita.

Sabulose opened up as many as six lengths on the field midway through the one-mile race and held on to claim his first victory in a race of more than seven furlongs. He was timed in 1:35 4/5.

Dramatis, the 7-5 favorite, couldn’t catch the winner in the stretch, despite strong urging from jockey Martin Pedroza. Recitation Spin was another four lengths back in third.
