Cons

In his first start for trainer Wesley Ward, All Squared Away pulled off a shocker when he won Keeneland’s $200,000 Coolmore Lexington Stakes (Grade 3) at odds of 70-1.

Previously trained by Peter Miller who also co-owns the horse, All Squared Away came into Saturday’s Coolmore Lexington with only a maiden win under his belt. Looking back at his last three starts, All Squared Away finished sixth to Went The Day Well in Turfway’s Grade 3 Vinery Racing Spiral, finished second in an allowance, and seventh in the Grade 3 El Camino Real Derby.

Secret Circle, the even-money favorite, held on to win the Grade 2 $500,000 Rebel Stakes on Saturday at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The win gave trainer Bob Baffert his third straight Rebel win, having won last year’s running with The Factor and the 2010 version with Lookin At Lucky. Secret Circle is owned by Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman, who also owned Lookin At Lucky.

I’ll Have Another, the longest price on the board at odds of 43-1, easily won the Grade 2 $200,000 Robert B. Lewis stakes at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Sitting comfortably in second throughout the 1 1/16 mile race, Doug O’Neil’s I’ll Have Another made his move around the turn and overtook the lead from Isn’t He Clever going into the stretch. I’ll Have Another finished 2 ¾ lengths in front of Empire Way, who was another 2 ¾ lengths in front of Groovin’ Solo.
