Jockey Tyler Baze sent Hyperbaric to the lead out of the gate, got him to relax down the backstretch, and took advantage of the lack of other speed to cruise to victory in the 31st running of the Grade 1, $400,000 Citation Handicap at 1-1/16 miles on the turf at Hollywood Park. The win was the 4th in a row and first Grade 1 victory for Hyperbaric, who provided trainer Julio Canani with his second Citation Handicap win. Canani won the 1990 running with Colway Rally.
Canani said Hyperbaric's next start will most likely be in the Duty Free Stakes in Dubai, run during the Dubai World Cup in March. The 5-year-old Sky Classic gelding is owned by Prestonwood Farm LLC. He paid $13.00, $6.20, and $4.00. Running second and third were Formal Decree and Becrux.

Dear Mary,
Check out my blog if you have time...I recap Friday's stakes races with an eye to the future (http://amateurcapper.blogspot.com/).
Nice blog, Amateurcapper! Just one note, though, you listed Graham Motion as Habaya's trainer; but Kiaran McLaughlin trains her. I'll put your blog on my list of follows, and look forward to reading future recap. All the best, Mary.
