JOURNALISM beats Kentucky Derby hype horse Barnes in the San Felipe at Santa Anita!

And they're off in the DK Horse San Felipe Stakes. Journalism broke smoothly and so did Barnes. Barnes takes the lead after just a few jumps. Rodriguez came away in third, smooth cruising, and Mellencamp is at the back of the field. So Barnes is the quickest, and he makes his way over to the rail, opening up two lengths. Rodriguez moves into second. Long shot, smooth cruising, trying to be a part of it. Moves up on the outside of him, trying to keep a little bit of pressure on Barnes, who's doing it easily past the six furlong pole. Humberto Rispoli has journalism in fourth, three and a half lengths off the pace, and Mellencamp is just outside of him. The tempo is reasonable, and it's Barnes in charge. Has it by just under a length over Rodriguez, heading to the half mile pole in the DK Horse San Felipe Stakes. Smooth cruising. At the rail, journalism is three lengths off the lead, trying to get a little bit closer now. He's just in front of Mellencamp. Into the far turn, it's been all Barnes. He gets a little bit of a nudge and responds. Barnes starts to sprint for home. Stablemate Rodriguez trying to make it interesting in second, and journalism four off the pace in third. They're followed by smooth cruising and Mellencamp. They're a quarter of a mile from home, and Barnes is widening. Journalism now swings into action on the outside. These are the two as they come to the eighth pole. Barnes in front by three. Journalism chasing with determination, getting closer with every stride, and here comes journalism right on by Barnes, and it will be journalism striding away powerfully to win the DK Horse San Felipe Stakes. Barnes had to settle for second, Rodriguez a distant third.
