Sleep Tight gets third consecutive victory February 28th, 2009
Sleep Tight finished a nose in front of Unusual Spirit and survived a stewards inquiry Friday for her third victory in a row.
Santa Anita stewards reviewed contact between Sleep Tight and Sayit after Sleep Tight drifted out just inside the 16th pole, but they determined that the order of finish was not affected. Sayit finished fourth, behind wagering favorite Masterful Miss.
Michael Baze rode Sleep Tight in the 6-furlong test for fillies and mares.
The winner finished in 1:16.10 and paid $11.20, $5.40 and $3.20. Unusual Spirit returned $4 and $2.80, and Masterful Miss paid $2.40 to show.
A 4-year-old Florida-bred daughter of Exchange Rate, Sleep Tight has raced only four times, finishing second in her debut.
