ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) - Capital Plan beat Cambina by 1 1/2 lengths to earn her first stakes victory in the $150,000 Santa Barbara Handicap for older fillies and mares at Santa Anita on Saturday.
Ridden by Brice Blanc, Capital Plan ran 1 1/4 miles on the turf in 2:01.78 and paid $13.20, $7.20 and $5.80 for Hall of Fame trainer and co-owner Jerry Hollendorfer.
Cambina returned $4.60 and $3.60, while Hard Seven was another nose back in third and paid $4.80 to show. Vamo a Galupiar finished sixth as the 2-1 favorite.

In the $100,000 San Simeon Handicap, California Flag beat Sayif by 2 1/4 lengths in his first race since finishing 12th in the Breeders' Cup Turf in November.

``At the break, I just let him get out to the lead,'' said Talamo, aboard California Flag for the first time since October 2010. ``He relaxed fine and did what he is known for.''
California Flag paid $13.80, $7.80 and $4.40.

Trainer Vladimir Cerin saddled four winners on the 10-race card.
