ARCADIA, Calif. -- Jockey Patrick Valenzuela guaranteed a victory for Golden Apples in the $500,000 Yellow Ribbon Stakes. The bay filly didn't let him down.

Golden Apples went four-wide in the stretch and beat Voodoo Dancer by one length Saturday at Santa Anita on a day loaded with Breeders' Cup implications for West Coast hopefuls.

Trainer Bob Baffert got confirmation that his 2-year-olds, Kafwain and Bull Market, will be threats in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile after they finished 1-2 in the $200,000 Norfolk Stakes. But he was disappointed with Congaree's seventh-place result in the Oak Tree Breeders' Cup Mile.

Valenzuela is 2-for-2 since riding Irish-bred Golden Apples for the first time Aug. 17 in the Grade 1 Beverly D. at Arlington Park near Chicago, where the Breeders' Cup will be held Oct. 26.

They teamed for a three-quarters-length victory in the Beverly D.

Golden Apples was at home on Santa Anita's turf course, where the 4-year-old filly has three wins and a second in four starts. She covered 1 1/4 miles in 1:59 3-5 and paid $4.80, $2.80 and $2.10.

"She ran great,'' said Valenzuela, who guaranteed the victory Thursday. "When Voodoo Dancer came to the inside of me, Golden Apples just completely put her away in the stretch without me even getting after her.''

Voodoo Dancer returned $3.80 and $2.10, while British-bred Banks Hill was another three lengths back in third. Chilean-bred Noches De Rosa was fourth, Nepenthe was fifth and Brazilian-bred Viernes was last. The field of six carried 123 pounds each.

Banks Hill is the defending Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf champion. Trainer Ben Cecil said Golden Apples will run at Arlington; Voodoo Dancer is uncertain.

Baffert had a busy day at Santa Anita, saddling his horses and keeping a close eye on telecasts from Belmont Park in New York and Keeneland in Kentucky, where other 2-year-olds in his far-flung operation were running.
