Santa Anita Parks $ 200,000 FASIG-TIPTON Santa Anita Oaks was an vital jumping stone for fame, which this century only led to the winners such as Beholder (2013) and Songbird (2016) after Hall of Fame career. This year's edition showed a field of six address of Dominant Fasig-Tipton Las Virgenes Stakes winner Tenma.
The Santa Anita Oaks is part of the last round of the qualifying races for the 151st Longines Kentucky Oaks, with the most vital preparations that take place in Kentucky, Up-to-date York and South California this weekend, since the 3-year-old Stutfalen have a last shot to qualify for the 1 1/8 mileage race, on May 2 in Churchill Downs.
1. I am looking forward to the front (10-1 morning management): Their chances were severely affected by a sluggish start in an unplaced finish The Honeybee Stakes on February 23. Before she had won two victories, including a mission victory and a second place in the Starlet Stakes in class 2 in three earlier races. Captivating bounce back candidate if she can relax behind a quick pace.
JOCKEY: Mario Gutierrez; TRAINER: Michael McCarthy
2. Silentes law (8-1): Stretches for the first time by two curves after winning a mission and given two more while he started in sprints. A logical pacemaker, but not sure whether she has endurance to be a factor in the deep route.
JOCKEY: Martin Garcia; TRAINER: Bob Baffert
3. Wodka with a turn (4-1): Last year in the Netjets Breeders' Cup Juvenile Futner-Up, 10 ¾ Lengths behind Tenma in the Starlet Stakes were ended in December and has not driven since then. Perhaps this winner with several stakes with several classes 1 simply needed a refreshment. She has had 10 workouts since January 29 and has not missed a beat that is preparing for her return, but not sure whether it is swift enough.
JOCKEY: Antonio Fresu; TRAINER: Phil d'amato
4. Tenma (even money): A winner of four out of five lifetime for the Hall of Fame coach Bob Baffert, who won the last two editions of this race. Tenma won the LAS Virgene's class 3 in 6 ¾ lengths on February 2 on this route and seems to be an impressive favorite. Able to win from or out of the pace.
JOCKEY: Juan Hernandez; TRAINER: Bob Baffert
5. No bad blows (7-2): Join your first attempt in a stakes race with two wins with open lengths in sprint races. None of her victories produced the type of speed figure she needed to win this. Could be a tempo factor and possibly hold onto a top three-finish.
JOCKEY: Hector Berrios; TRAINER: Doug O'Neill
6. Madame Secretary (6-1): Was an outstanding winner of five lengths on a mile on this route to publish her first victory in her third attempt for the Hall of Fame coach Richard Mandella, who won this race four times. An improved stut foal, which is a complex task in their debut with several others, which they very likely challenge for early leadership.
JOCKEY: Kazushi Kimura; TRAINER: Richard Mandella
The choice: Tenma
Live Longshot: Be ecstatic
Superfecta: 4-1-6-3
