10:55 am

Odds-on favorite The Pamplemousse once again used a front running trip Saturday to capture the $200,000 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita Park. The 1 1/8 mile Sham is a prep for the Santa Anita Derby on Saturday, April 4.

Last year the Sham was won by Colonel John who would later win the Santa Anita Derby and Travers Stakes. Four years ago Giacomo finished third before winning the 2005 Kentucky Derby.

Racing on Santa Anita’s all-weather surface, The Pamplemousse stopped the timer at 1:47.86.

The Pamplemousse paid $3.00, $2.60 and $2.40. Take the Points returned $4.00 and $3.60, and Mr. Hot Stuff paid $3.60 to show.
