Seven Furlong Stakes Saturday

Stakes Saturday at Santa Anita with a sensational seven furlong grade 2 race.

Santa Anita Race 7 {San Carlos~G2~7 furlongs~4 year old Up~Stakes}
A great field of six loads in for this graded stakes sprint.  There will be speed and the balance of the field bunched up close.  It should be an exciting race.

#3 The Factor (M. Garcia / Baffert) could control the pace and ultimately wire the field with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and five super strong, peaking workouts.  He is three for three at this distance.
$2 WIN / $3 SHOW.

#2 Amazombie (Smith / Spawr) will sit right off the leader and could explode to victory.  He holds the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and five excellent, peaking workouts.  He is starting his third race after a ninety day layoff.  More than likely to be the favorite at post time.
No Value.

#6 Sway Away (Bejarano / Bonde) looks ready for a good effort with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four superb endurance, peaking workouts.  This guy could close swiftly into the pace.
$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#5 Rothko (Rosario / Asmussen) has been well managed and should be a major contender in this sprint.  He has the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a five race progression, and four athletic, peaking workouts.  He should remain close and stride well in the stretch.

10 CENT Superfecta

#3 The Factor, #2 Amazombie / #3, #2 / #6 Sway Away, #5 Rothko / #6, #5.
