Arcadia, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Former Breeders Cup Sprint champ Secret Circle continues to fall short in his struggle to find the winners circle for the first time since claiming the biggest race of his career. Trained by Bob Baffert, Secret Circle was one of six older horses going six furlongs in Saturdays $200,000 Palos Verdes Stakes at Santa Anita. The 6- year-old was ridden by Martin Garcia from post 4. Sent off as the 2-1 co-favorite with Distinctiv Passion, Secret Circle prompted the pace as Distinctiv Passion pulled the field up the backstretch. Secret Circle had a short lead coming off the final turn but was soon joined by 5-1 fourth pick Conquest Two Step and jockey Joe Talamo. Secret Circle and Conquest Two Step battled through the stretch but it was Conquest Two Step prevailing by 1 1/4 lengths at the wire and stopping the timer at 1:08.10. Wild Dude, the 3-1 third choice, was third followed by Distinctiv Passion, Big Macher and Chief Lion. He had a perfect trip. I was very happy to see three horses in a speed duel. I just stayed outside and he wasnt even getting any dirt in his face. What a race he ran, Talamo said. Conquest Two Step returned $13.00, $5.40 and $3.20. Secret Circle paid $4.00 and $3.00, and Wild Dude paid $3.00 to show. Secret Circle has not won since the 2013 Breeders Cup Sprint at Santa Anita. In five starts last year he had three seconds, a third and a fourth. He was the 3-10 favorite in the Midnight Lute at Santa Anita on Dec. 27 but finished fourth behind Distinctiv Passion. Conquest Two Step, trained by Mark Casse for Conquest Stables, made his 2015 debut a winning one and earned $120,000. The 4-year-old colt has won three of 10 career starts for $209,408. They set it up nice for him. I was smiling pretty big down the backside (at the fractions) watching those three go at it, Casse said. Well enjoy this one today and hopefully try to win another one. The Palos Verdes is Conquest Two Steps initial stakes victory. He lost a neck decision in Decembers Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita to Shared Belief. We were high on his last race, when he ran second to Shared Belief, Talamo commented, and I know a lot of people thought it was a fluke but he really ran that same race again today.

The Raptors fell at home to the Phoenix Suns and lost on the road to the Atlanta Hawks during this mini swoon. Torontos lead in the Atlantic Division is just 2 1/2 games over the Brooklyn Nets and the Raptors advantage over the Chicago Bulls for the third seed in the Eastern Conference is down to a half- game. On Tuesday, the Raptors fell in overtime to the Hawks at Philips Arena, 118-113. DeMar DeRozan paced Toronto with 29 points to go along with 10 rebounds and Kyle Lowry contributed 20 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in the loss, their second straight on the road.

Toronto had the ball with under 20 ticks to play in the extra session and trailed by two when Johnson turned the ball over after an offensive foul. Atlanta sealed it at the free throw line to continue its late season surge to maintain its playoff position. "(In the overtime) we got stops but you got to able to score," said Toronto coach Dwane Casey. "I thought DeMar (DeRozan) did a good job of playing out of tthe double-team they were committed to, had some open looks, but again, you got to knock those down, you got to make those plays and we had trouble doing that.dddddddddddd" The Pelicans halted a two-game slide last time out, a 121-120 overtime victory Sunday night over the Boston Celtics.

Davis surpassed his career-highs in points and rebounds while also becoming the first player in Pelican history to record a 40-point/20-rebound game. "Im just trying to stay locked in. Every game, coach talks about being great. Anthony Morrow tells me, Be great every game. I just go out there and do the things for us to win. As long as we get the win, thats all that matters to me," said Davis. Tyreke Evans scored 26 and Eric Gordon added 19 points and eight assists for the Pelicans. Evans scored five of his 26 in the extra session to help New Orleans to victory. The Pelicans visit the Hawks on Friday, then play four in a row in the Big Easy.
