Prime Engine takes first loss of career

[...] he refused to go into the starting gate, backing away several times and causing jockey Russell Baze to hop off so the colt could be loaded riderless. [...] Prime Engine got stuck on the inside of a duel with Conquest Tsunami through blazing fractions of 22.27 seconds for the first quarter-mile and 45.74 for the first half-mile. Owner Mark DeDomenico sent Prime Engine to Hollendorfer’s Santa Anita stable after the horse dominated his two starts at Emerald Downs for trainer Mike Puhich. Hollendorfer, Baze and DeDomenico also had Majestic Presence in Saturday’s Grade 3, $400,000 Delta Princess, and she finished third — 2½ lengths behind victorious Take Charge Brandi ($6.40), who was coming off of a 61-to-1 upset victory in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. Horse racing being what it is, Hollendorfer has an opportunity to do that Wednesday at Zia Park in Hobbs, N.M., where he will run Thegirlinthatsong and Taste Like Candy in the $300,000 Zia Park Oaks, Tonito M.
