Just five 3-year-olds went to the gate in the 7 furlong $150,000 Bay Shore
Stakes (G3). 11-10 favorite Too Much Bling, stablemate of Wood winner Bob and
John, came away well under jockey Garrett Gomez, took over the lead after half
a mile in 45.16, and then drew away through the stretch to win by 9 lengths
over 3-2 second choice Songster, completing the distance in 1:22.40. The
connections of owner Stonerside Stable, trainer Bob Baffert, and jockey Gomez
swept both 3-year-old stakes on the card. This is the second consecutive year
that a West Coast-based horse has won the Bay Shore. Last year, Lost in the
Fog won this race en route to becoming the champion sprinter of 2005.
