With a blistering early pace to take advantage of, Sahara Sky, with Joe Talamo up, came roaring from far off the pace to take Saturday’s Grade II, $200,000 San Carlos Stakes by three quarters of a length, covering seven furlongs in 1:21.28. Read More
Friday’s Santa Anita Park Recap – Feb 22 Fast main track seemed to play fair. The two turf routes were nabbed by mid-pack types and the lone downhill turf sprint winner was a pace presser (rail at 24 feet). Tyler Baze and Garrett Gomez both booted home a pair. On the ticket front I tabbed three Prim...Read More

  • Cardly Knot · I believe Baffert is shipping the Factor to Dubai. Game on Dude, The Factor, and who knows possibly a 3 year old? Perhaps Casataway, Secret Circle, or even Liaison who has run well on syn. Pack Sutherland/Garcia in the suitcase, as well. · 444 days ago ·

Friday Santa Anita Park Recap – Feb 24 Three wire jobs on the speed conducive fast main track. Downhill turf course seemed to play fair (rail at 30 feet). Hat trick for trainer Doug O’Neill.

  • ghelguera · Is a track record asking for too much inthis awesome field? This is one of the best San Carlos Stakes in years. I love Sway Away and Rothko in this race but perhaps Rothko might have the edge on Sway Away because of the layoff. Can't count out The Factor and Amazombie when their in Beast Mode. · 453 days ago ·
