Citizen Bull is making his first start since a front-running, 1 ½ -length victory in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile on Nov. 1 at Del Mar. The Juvenile was his second Grade I win after previously taking the American Pharoah Stakes at Santa Anita in October. Trained by Bob Baffert, Citizen Bull was named last year's champion 2-year-old male at the 54th Eclipse Awards ceremony last week in South Florida.
By Into Mischief, Citizen Bull has worked seven times since mid-December for his sophomore unveiling. On Saturday, he signaled his readiness with a bullet five-furlong work in 59.0 seconds at Santa Anita.
Citizen Bull will be ridden by Martin Garcia, who was aboard for his wins in both the American Pharoah and Breeders' Cup Juvenile. He is 4: 3-0-1 with $1,301,000 in earnings for owners SF Racing LLC, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, Stonestreet Stables et al.
Baffert also entered recent maiden winners Rodriguez and Madaket Road. Both colts have similar ownership groups as Citizen Bull.
Rodriguez uncorked a 101 Beyer Speed Figure when graduating going a mile at Santa Anita in his second start on Jan. 4. By Authentic, Rodriguez's on Sunday had a sharp five-furlong work in 59.60 seconds while in company with graded stakes winner Getaway Car. He will be ridden by Juan Hernandez, who was also aboard for his maiden win.
Madaket Road earned his diploma going six furlongs under Hernandez when making his second start on Dec. 26 at Santa Anita. Previously, the Quality Road colt debuted in the GIII Bob Hope going seven furlongs at Del Mar and finished second on Nov. 17.
Madaket Road has worked four times since graduation day, which includes a five-furlong drill in 59.60 seconds on Saturday. With Hernandez sticking with Rodriguez, Frankie Dettori takes over on Madaket Road.
Clock Tower will be switching to dirt for trainer Wesley Ward. Most recently, Clock Tower scored on the front-end in the GIII Cecil B. DeMille going a mile on turf at Del Mar Dec. 1. Prior to that, he was third in the GII Bourbon Stakes going 1 1/16 miles on turf at Keeneland in early October. Clock Tower will have jockey Gerardo Corrales in the irons. Owned by Mrs. Fitriani Hay, Clock Tower is 5: 2-1-2 with $225,938 in earnings.
