Santa Anita: Duluth ($27.40) wins incident-filled maiden race

Duluth ($27.40) won Friday's third race for California-bred maidens, the beneficiary of a clean trip in a race in which another runner impeded a rival so severely that the affected horse sustained an injury.

In the stretch, Wild Lando, the 8-5 favorite, drifted out and into the path of 4-1 Dial Me In, who was forced to check under jockey Victor Espinoza. Dial Me In appeared to sustain an injury to the upper section of his right foreleg in the incient and was vanned off.

Dial Me In was taken to the stables for evaluation, according to stewart Scott Chaney.

Wild Lando continued the race and finished second. Duluth, racing on the inside in the stretch and away from the incident, won the one-mile race by six lengths.

After an inquiry, the stewards disqualified Wild Lando and placed him fifth. Faversham, a full-brother to two-time Horse of the Year California Chrome, finished third and was promoted to second. Faversham was forced to check under jockey Stewart Elliott, nearly coming to a stop, and appeared to make contact with Dial Me In.

Faversham, trained by Art Sherman, finished third by eight lengths.

Duluth and Wild Lando are trained by Phil D'Amato. Dial Me In is trained by Jim Cassidy.
