San Fernando at Santa Anita

Today we look at a wonderful Grade 2 Stakes race at Santa Anita, the San Fernando.

Santa Anita Race 7 {San Fernando~G2~1 1/16~4 year old~Stakes}
It appears it comes down to two horses for the victory.  Papa Clem (T. Baze / Stute) is 100% in the money at Santa Anita and at the distance.  He has put in five monster workouts leading into this race.  It appears he is approaching top form and should be ready to win this one.  Mythical Power (Rosario / Baffert) looks to be his chief challenger with the highest speed number at the distance and four fabulous peaking workouts.  Both will battle tactically near the front end.  Mr. Hot Stuff (Talamo / Harty) has put in five strong peaking workouts and likes the Santa Anita track. He will be a factor closing swiftly.  Viscount (Gomez / Baffert) and Gallant Son (Solis / Lucarelli) will also be closing strongly.  Viscount shows a decent last out speed number and has put in three terrific workouts.  Gallant Son shows the second highest last out speed number with a superb peaking three workout tab.  Let's play Santa Anita.

$2 SHOW:  #4 Papa Clem
