Santa Anita Derby figures next for Connemara

ALBANY, Calif. - After his victory in Saturday's El Camino Real Derby, Connemara looks headed to the Santa Anita Derby on April 3. Plans are not as solid for second- and third-place finishers Haimish Hy and Posse Power.

Connemara won for the third time in four starts on Saturday and avenged his lone defeat, which had come in his previous start, the California Derby.

"I think he moved up in our rankings," said trainer Todd Pletcher's assistant Mike McCarthy, who confirmed the Santa Anita Derby is the likely next start for Connemara. McCarthy made no commitments but hinted that Russell Baze would likely get a chance to ride Connemara back at Santa Anita.
