Fawkes saddles 2 winners at Calder
September 17, 2011MIAMI (AP) - Trainer David Fawkes swept both $100,000 features for 2-year-olds at Calder on Saturday, with both of his horses winning by 2 1/2 lengths and running the mile and 70 yards in 1:45 1/5.
Burning Time, a 6-1 shot, won the Foolish Pleasure Stakes and the 14-1 Conway Two Step led wire to wire to take the Brave Raj Stakes for fillies an hour later.
Burning Time, with Luis Saez aboard, paid $14.20, $5.40 and $7.00 in earning his second victory in four starts. Personal Interest returned $7.20 and $7.00. Bartolome paid $4.20 to show.
Conway Two Step, ridden by Daniel Centeno, took the lead from the outside post and had no problem holding off odds-on favorite Frolic's Revenge, who was second, three lengths ahead of Sinister Brew.
