The Pamplemouse continued his winning run and his charge to the Kentucky Derby with an easy six lengths success in Santa Anita's Sham Stakes on Saturday February 28, 2009.

However some of the shine of that emphatic victory was taken away when his trainer Julio Canani was arrested for alleged drunk driving the day after.

Canani, 71, had been to the races on Sunday and ran into trouble with the sobriety police after that.

Canani's brush with the law, didn't stop bookies shaving the price of his superstar colt, The Pamplemouse who is now generally 16/1 for The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
