Find Out Why Trained by Mac Robertson, Sir Wellington exits a head victory over fellow Bachelor entrant Jaxon Traveler in the $150,000 Gazebo Stakes at 6 furlongs March 20 at Oaklawn. Sir Wellington again draws the rail for the Bachelor, which also brings back Jaxon Traveler’s stablemate, Grade 3 winner Cazadero, who was a non-threatening fourth in the Gazebo as the 4/5 favorite. “Kind of like a rematch between me and Jaxon Traveler,” said jockey Alex Canchari, who has the return call on Sir Wellington. “We’ll see what happens.” In their first meeting, Sir Wellington finished second, beaten 4 lengths by Jaxon Traveler in an entry-level allowance race October 23 at Laurel. Sir Wellington closed his 2020 campaign with a victory in the $100,000 Louisiana Champions Day Juvenile Stakes December 12 at Fair Grounds. Sir Wellington has recorded 3 workouts this month at Oaklawn in advance of the Bachelor. The Palace colt chased a fast pace in the Gazebo (it drew a field of six) and held off a fast-closing Jaxon Traveler. “We’ll see how it plays out,” Canchari said. “Races are different. Anything can happen. We’re ready for whatever.” Jaxon Traveler, beaten for the first time in 4 career starts in the Gazebo, and Cazadero come from the barn of Hall of Fame trainer Steve Asmussen, who has won the Bachelor a record 6 times. Asmussen’s second of a record 95 career Oaklawn stakes victories to date came in the 1996 Bachelor with Valid Expectations. WATCH THE LATEST EPISODE OF “DR. MIRANDA PREVIEWS” FOR DR.
