Pedroza, favorites keep rolling along at Fairplex Park

Martin Pedroza continues his torrid pace at Fairplex Park as he has sprinted away from the rest of the jockey colony. With the final week of racing head, it is safe to say Pedroza has all but wrapped up another riding title here at the Los Angeles County Fair. The 40-year-old something rider looks to be in his 20's the way he handles the horses, turns and other riders around these parts. Yes, call Martin Pedroza "Mr. Pomona" because he certainly is.

How about the ride Patrick Valenzuela gave Clubhouse Ride on Sunday in the $115,000 Barretts Juvenile? The two-year-old colt by Candy Ride (Ride The Rails) was winning for the second time in his career, coming off a solid good looking maiden win at Del Mar for trainer Clifford Sise. Clubhouse Ride unleashed a powerhouse move down the backside to vie for the lead and draw away for a sharp win. This all came after a rough start in which Clubhouse Ride was bumped hard leaving the gate to race well behind the field early on. Had he failed to kick it in, he would have had a built in excuse which makes his win here more impressive. The owners Six-S Racing Stables seem to have a nice colt on their hands and should be followed up the ladder.
