What the Nation is saying about the 2009 San Gabriel Stakes (G2)...

Proudinsky repeated as the winner of the San Gabriel at Santa Anita on Saturday. He overpowered Lava Man who showed early speed but faded late. Said Doug O'Neill, "I thought I had him more fit than that, but it’s hard to simulate a mile and an eight turf race in the mornings."Read More

Proudinsky is the defending champ, and Loup Breton looked good in his US bow and is a serious late running threa...Read More
