Barbados winning the Pelican Stakes on 2/20<br />
Other Notes: Barbados won the Grade III Hutcheson Stakes at Gulfstream Park as a 3-year-old. Star Harbour’s sire is the late Indian Charlie,<br />
who won the 1998 Santa Anita Derby and finished third in the Kentucky Derby. Palace Barista won the 2014 Pelican in only his third lifetime start.<br />
Before setting the stakes record in 2013, Action Andy enjoyed a stellar 2012 campaign. He won the Super Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs, the Da Hoss at<br />
Colonial, the Maryland Million Sprint Handicap and the $350,000 Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash, the latter two at Laurel. Jockey Federico Mata<br />
won four consecutive editions of the Pelican: on Secret Romeo in 2002, followed by three in a row on Above the Wind. William Henry won this race<br />
three times: twice (1994 and 1995) with the combination of Not Surprising, owner Robert Van Worp and trainer Judson Van Worp. Not Surprising’s<br />
1995 Pelican victory kicked off a year in which he won the Eclipse Award as the nation’s top sprinter with eight victories, including four graded stakes<br />
in New York. Above the Wind was not the favorite in any of his Pelican triumphs; he paid $132.40 to win in 2003 as the longest shot in a 12-horse field.<br />
Trainer Gerald Bennett has won the Pelican three times. Jockey Daniel Centeno and trainer Jamie Ness have won the Pelican twice together in 2008<br />
with Lookinforthesecret and 2010 with Sneaking Uponyou. Ness won the Pelican a third time in 2011 with See I A.<br />
