Mrazek returned $5.60 and $3.60. Xingontothebone was another 2-1/4 lengths back in third and paid $4.40 to show.

Both Found Money and Mrazek are sons of Square Eddie, whose 2-year-old offspring have won seven races at the current Santa Anita meet.

''This absolutely makes me feel proud,'' said J. Paul Reddam, who bred Square Eddie and owns Found Money and Mrazek.

The victory, worth $75,000, increased Found Money's career earnings to $108,600, with two wins in as many starts.

''What a tremendous horse,'' said Nakatani, who also rode Grade 1 stakes winner Square Eddie. ''We felt my horse, Found Money, was quicker than his stablemate and we got away great.''
