Horseracing Betting Lines

04/03/2010 - Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Front running Sidney's Candy took the lead out of the gate and went on to post a commanding win in Saturday's $750,000 Santa Anita Derby. Odds-on 4-5 favorite Lookin At Lucky finished third in the 10 horse field.

Sidney's Candy, starting from post four with Joe Talamo riding, immediately took the lead coming out of the gate in the 1 1/8-mile race. Lookin At Lucky and jockey Garrett Gomez were next as the field entered the clubhouse turn.

Entering the backstretch, Sidney's Candy set the pace and was followed by Who's Up, Skipshot and Lookin At Lucky along the rail. With a half-mile to go, the leader was followed by Who's Up, with Lookin At Lucky racing in third.

However, Lookin At Lucky quickly took back from his position near the lead while the field was midway through the turn for home. The favorite appeared to be squeezed a bit, which forced him to drop back.

Around the final turn, Sidney's Candy, the 7-2 second choice, still had the lead on the inside, with Skipshot in second. The leader entered the stretch with a clear lead and went on to draw away from the competition.

Sidney's Candy registered a 4 1/2-length victory over a late running Setsuko. Lookin At Lucky, the 2009 champion two-year-old colt, rebounded down the stretch to get third, with Caracortado finishing fourth.

Rounding out the order of finish was Skipshot, Alphie's Bet, Thomas Baines, Posse Power, Who's Up and Cardiff Giant.

Sidney's Candy completed the 1 1/8-miles in 1:48 flat over Santa Anita's artificial surface.

Trained by John Sadler, Sidney's Candy is owned by the Sid and Jenny Craig Trust. The chestnut colt posted his fourth career win in six starts. Saturday's $450,000 puts his lifetime earnings at $673,560.

The three-year-old is undefeated in 2010 with prior wins in the San Vicente and San Felipe Stakes.

Sidney's Candy paid $9.60, $5.40 and $3.00. Setsuko returned $10.00 and $4.80, and Lookin At Lucky paid $2.10 to show.
