Unusual Heatwave Wins Snow Chief Stakes

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (HORSES/Newsfeed) — Unusual Heat­wave col­lared Stoney Fleece in the clos­ing yards to win the $ 300,000 Snow Chief Stakes by a half-length on Cal­i­for­nia Gold Rush day at Bet­fair Hol­ly­wood Park on Sat­ur­day, with jockey Rafael Bejarano win­ning five races includ­ing three stakes a day after being sworn in as a U.S. citizen.

The 29-year-old Peru-born rider also rode five win­ners on Gold Rush Day in 2009. Bejarano has won five stakes through the first three days of the track’s spring-summer meet.

Unusual Heat­wave ran 1 1–8 miles in 1:51.63 and paid $ 7.40, $ 3.60 and $ 2.80. 19–10 favorite Stoney Fleece returned $ 3.40 and $ 3.20, while Dylan Don­nelly was another 1 1–4 lengths back in third and paid $ 4.20 to show.

It was a good trip,” said Bejarano, whose 16 Gold Rush wins are sec­ond on the career list. “I fol­lowed the favorite the whole way and stayed out of trou­ble. At the begin­ning, it didn’t look like he wanted to go, but at the half-mile pole he really picked it up.”

Unusual Heat­wave earned his sec­ond win in nine starts to increase his bankroll to $ 265,262.

In the $ 288,000 Melair Stakes, 11–10 favorite Willa B Awe­some edged Starry Skies by a nose under Mar­tin Pedroza, who returned less than two weeks after break­ing his ribs in a spill at Santa Anita. She paid $ 4.20, $ 2.40 and $ 2.10. Starry Skies returned $ 3.20 and $ 2.20, while Starlight Magic was another 3 1–2 lengths back in third and paid $ 2.40 to show.

Willa B Awe­some ran nine fur­longs in 1:43.33 under high weight of 124 pounds. It was her fifth win in 13 starts with career earn­ings of $ 578,896.

Hall of Famer Bob Baf­fert, the career-leading Gold Rush trainer with 11 vic­to­ries, added two wins. Gather­attheal­ter won the $ 72,800 Grey Memo by a head, while 2–1 favorite Sparkling Style won the $ 71,400 Warren’s Thor­ough­breds by 2 1–2 lengths.

Joe Talamo rode Sparkling Style, who ran seven fur­longs on the syn­thetic Cush­ion Track in 1:23.71.

Bejarano rode Gather­attheal­ter, going seven fur­longs in 1:23.74.

The jockey’s eas­i­est win was by 7 1–4 lengths aboard Mobi­lized in the $ 125,000 Tiznow Stakes despite los­ing his whip with about three fur­longs to go. Mobi­lized ran 7 1–2 fur­longs in 1:29.47, giv­ing him six wins in 22 starts and earn­ings of $ 360,080.

Mobi­lized paid $ 7.80, $ 3.40 and $ 2.80. Ital­ian Rules, the 2–1 favorite, returned $ 3.60 and $ 2.40. Ital­ian Rules was another half-length back in third and paid $ 7.20 to show.

Another of Bejarano’s win­ners, Warren’s Jit­ter­bug, ral­lied to win the $ 125,000 B. Thought­ful Stakes.

Warren’s Inter­net won the $ 60,000 Alpha­bet Kisses Stakes, while Valen­tine Boy took the $ 60,000 NTRA Stakes.
