Calle Vista wins Santa Anita feature
March 24, 2011ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Calle Vista defeated Talktoomuch by a neck to win Thursday's $63,000 feature at Santa Anita.
Ridden by Martin Garcia, Calle Vista ran a mile on the rain-dampened turf in 1:37.42 and paid $9.40, $4.00 and $2.80.
Talktoomuch returned $3.20 and $2.60 as the 2-1 favorite, while Startjumpin Marnie paid $2.40 to show.
Calle Vista had a new rider Thursday because Joel Rosario was en route to the Middle East to ride in the Dubai World Cup on Saturday. She changed tactics, too, stalking the pacesetter instead of leading all the way like she did in her previous win.
The victory, worth $37,800, increased Calle Vista's career earnings to $164,740, with four wins in 10 starts.
