Arcadia, Calif.
Accelerate and jockey Victor Espinoza stole the show in the Grade II San Pasqual Stakes Saturday afternoon.
Espinoza found a rail-winning trip to take the $200K race by a clear margin of victory.
The 5-year-old defeated a field featuring star rivals such as Mubtaahij, Win the Space and Pavel.
Prime Attraction ran a solid second and Pavel completed the trifecta, after a questionable ride by Mario Gutierrez.
Accelerate returned $9.40 to win and showed a lot left in the tank when crossing the line for trainer John Sadler.
