Jaws n' Paws Repeats in
Mesa Handicap
DRF.com
PHOENIX, AZ (March 9, 2013)-E Z Kitty may be the leading lady routing at
Turf Paradise these days, but Jaws n’ Paws let it be known Saturday that the
distaff sprint division still belongs to her, as the 6-year-old mare
dominated the $35,000 Mesa Handicap for the second straight year.
Owned by Stateside Racing and trained by Robertino Diodoro, the daughter of
Onebadshark romped by eight lengths in an
optional claimer here Feb. 8, her first start in more than seven months.
That race apparently served her well.
Under Geovanni Franco on
Saturday, she was no match for sizzler Page Springs from the gate but bided
her time, sitting a clear second while Page Springs set fast fractions in
the 6 1/2-furlong event. Jaws n’ Paws went after that tiring foe turning for
home, while Love Makor moved up to challenge as well. Jaws n’ Paws
dispatched with Love Makor into the lane and drew clear to win comfortably
by 2 1/2 lengths as the 6-5 second choice.
E Z Kitty, the
even-money favorite, lagged back and finished well but never really scared
the winner, while Love Makor ran third. Page Springs finished fourth in the
field of seven.
Jaws n’ Paws, now a perfect 4 for 4 here, ran the
distance in 1:17.34 on the muddy (sealed) track and paid $4.60. The winner’s
share of $21,266 gave her earnings of $276,026 from 13 wins in 28 starts.

Weewinnin is by
Comic Strip, out of the Roman Dancer mare
Honoree Lady, was bred by Dr. and Mrs. William Gray, is owned by the Grays,
E-Racing.com, Janet Lyons et al and is trained by Brian Koriner.
He
has two wins in three starts, earnings of $135,900 and was making his first
start since a fourth in the Aug. 1 Graduation Stakes. His only other win was
a $32,000 maiden claimer at Golden Gate in his June 12 debut.
“I
think the public was just looking at the Beyers (speed figures published in
the Daily Racing Form) and said he just doesn’t belong,” Koriner said of the
long odds. “He ran a freaky race when he broke his maiden. When he ran
(fourth in the Graduation Stakes Aug. 1) at Del Mar we were a little upset,
but he came out of the race with shins. That’s why he didn’t go on.
“We were upset because we paid pretty good money for the horse (after his
maiden victory). My owners had me on the line for overpaying—I think we gave
$100,000— but we got it all back today. He’s been training great. I’ve been
telling the owners we were going to win this. One of the owners wanted to
run him in a starter allowance, but I told him he’s been outworking some
pretty good older horses and it was worth a chance to run him here.”
Weewinnin ran the seven furlongs in 1:23.54 and won by a neck over
supplemental entry Fighting Husar, with Monument third.
