Bobina wins Santa Anita feature
April 13, 2012ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Bobina defeated Gittel by a half-length to win the $56,840 Superstition Purse for 3-year-old fillies at Santa Anita on Friday.
Ridden by Edwin Maldonado, Bobina ran one mile on the sloppy dirt track in 1:37.20 and paid $5.40 and $3 at 17-10 odds.
The race was switched to the main track because of heavy downpours, causing three of the scheduled seven starters to scratch.
Gittel returned $4. Starship Flare was another 1 1-2 lengths back in third. There was no show wagering because of the small field.
The victory, worth $34,800, increased Bobina's career earnings to $68,400.
