What the Nation is saying about the Santa Maria...

A winner of the Grade I La Brea Stakes going seven furlongs on Dec. 26, Book Review was then a sharp second in the Grade II La Canada Stakes going a mile and a sixteenth on Jan. 20, and she’ll try that distance again on Saturday as she heads a six-horse field in Santa Anita’s featured Grade II, $200...Read More

I guess when you are a jockey with a name like Gary Stevens you better be good, and it looks like we have another good one. Did you see today’s Grade 2 Santa Maria? I mean for a new rider, it was simply masterful. This kid was on one of the race’s long shots, a mare named Great Hot, and it was like ...Read More

In a manner eerily similar to so many other stakes wins covering parts of four decades, comebacking Gary Stevens sent longshot Great Hot to the early lead in Saturday’s Grade II, $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes for older fillies and mares and put on a textbook exhibition on how to ride a frontrunner, gu...Read More
Gary Stevens rides Great Hot for the first time in Saturday’s Grade II Santa Maria Stakes. By the time he gets a leg up from trainer A. C. Avila, they’ll be like best buds. Read More
Joe Talamo rides Lady of Fifty for only the second time in next Saturday’s Grade II Santa Maria Stakes for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles, but the 23-year-old jockey is optimistic that the gray After Market filly trained and owned in part by Jerry Hollendorfer is ready for another solid eff...Read More
This week's best in racing by Eclipse Sportswire photographers includes scenes from the dual-Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn, swept by Bob Baffert's Castaway and Secret Circle. Read More
Ellafitz, the 5-year-old mare whom trainer Bob Baffert says is “getting better with age,” demonstrated her gritty resistance Saturday when turning back challenge after challenge as the front-running winner of Santa Anita’s Grade II, $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 m...Read More
Friday Santa Anita Park Recap – Feb 17 Two wire jobs on the fast main track. Early-pressing types captured both downhill turf sprints (rail at 15 feet). Hat trick for Joel Rosario. On the ticket front I tabbed three Primary (Teroda, Stormin Proud Papa, Chosen Miracle) winners.Read More
Save for a troubled trip in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint last Nov. 4, Great Hot has never failed to earn a check in nine U.S. starts. Read More
Vision in Gold is training “awesome” for Saturday’s Grade II, $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles. But she, like five other runners, will have to overtake Ellafitz to win the race.Read More
After a failed try in her comeback race one month ago, Vision in Gold will have to overtake trainer Bob Baffert’s streaking Ellafitz on Saturday if she is to successfully defend her title in Santa Anita’s Grade II, $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes for older fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles. Read More
The Bob Baffert-trained Ellafitz will attempt to win her third consecutive stakes in the $200,000 Santa Maria Stakes over 1 1/16 miles on Feb. 18 at Santa Anita. Read More
With a sixteenth of a mile to go, it appeared the mighty Zenyatta’s winning streak was in serious danger. Mike Smith was getting in to her like I had not seen since 2009, and yet the other filly was somehow holding her at bay. The race was Last year’s Vanity Handicap and the other mare was St Trinia...Read More

  • Ann Maree · We need to remember that Zenyatta was giving the field from 10-15 pounds! She still got the job done, but that was the onlly reason, I think, that St. Trinians got that close to her! I'm hoping that Zardana, St. Trinians, and Vision all wind up in the Santa Margarita, along with Blind Luck, Harmonious and Princess to challenge Switch! The winner of that race will likely be crowned the reigning new Older Female to fill the spot vacated by Zenyatta! I would love it if either Harnomious or Zardana were to win that spot, as Zenyatta's former stable mates! · 833 days ago ·

Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes a pair of Graded events. First up is the Robert Lewis Stakes (6th race) and Tapizar looks tough to catch. St. Trinians makes her much anticipated return in the Santa Maria and she tries conventional dirt for the first time. Washington Bridge is the ...Read More
When last seen, St Trinians ran a game second to Zenyatta in last summer’s Vanity Handicap (gr. I). Eight months later she will return from the sidelines when making her dirt debut in the $150,000 Santa Maria Stakes (gr. II) Feb. 12 at Santa Anita. The 6-year-old mare won the event a year ago.A fiel...Read More
St. Trinians is headed towards her 2011 debut after a tangle with Zenyatta in the Vanity Handicap last year compelled trainer Mike Mitchell to give the filly a long rest due to body soreness. After wins in the Santa Maria and Paseana Handicap last year St. Trinians finished 6th to the boys in the Sa...Read More
