The smiling 17-year-old extended his riding lead over jockey Martin Pedroza at Fairplex, shifting gears down the stretch aboard Warren's Whistle to capture the $50,000 Black Swan Stakes for 2-year-old fillies over the 1 1/16-mile course Tuesday. It was Baze's second winner of the afternoon. He now has 21 victories at Fairplex, three ahead of Pedroza's 18. ``He's going to be the next California sensation,'' trainer Melvin F. Stute said of Baze. Stute saddled Warren's Whistle. ``Only problem is if he doesn't get too big (in the head). He's a young boy and a fast learner. He catches on so quick. ``The very first day he rode for me here, everyone was knocking at the way he rode. It just took him one day to get the feel of this track and ever since, he's been going.'' Warren's Whistle's had to chase down the favorite, Madame Roar, which had a clean trip for Pedroza. Warren's Whistle looked liked she would run into traffic, but the rail opened up and she sped right through. It was her second career victory after capturing a $47,000 race at Del Mar Del Mar is the name of several places in the United States of America:

I guess she (Warren's Whistle) just had more in the tank.'' Stute didn't know if she would get through, but he had his fingers crossed. ``This wasn't a sterling field that she beat,'' he said. ``But she's getting better. I actually didn't think Tyler had enough horse left to catch the filly filly young female horse up to first breeding or 4 years, then a maiden mare.
