Stakes Saturday the Santa Anita Way

You gotta love the Turf. We take in a terrific race in Southern California.

Santa Anita Park Race 9 {Twilight Derby~G2~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year-old~Graded Stakes}

A fantastic field of nine will hit the Turf in this graded stakes race. It comes up a little short in speed, but there are a few in here that could be forwardly placed. Speed numbers are very close making it a contentious race. It should really be one of the better Turf races on the day.

#9 Profiteer (Smith / McGaughey) comes in from the East coast to challenge these Turfers. He holds a couple of very good last out speed numbers and two hearty workouts. Looking to stretch his win record to four, he should be tracking the pace closely. A son of War Front, he should be able to take another step forward.

$2 WIN  /  $3 SHOW.

#8 Channel Maker (Van Dyke / Mott) should pose a challenge as another shipper in, though he has run over the Santa Anita course. He holds the third highest last out speed number at a longer Turf route, a two race progression, and two hardy workouts. This son of English Channel has hit the board in his lone try at this distance. He could come closing gallantly.

$2 SHOW.

#2 Cowboy Culture (Geroux / Cox) is another shipping in ready to show off his talent. He holds a couple of superb last out efforts and has put in four excellent works. He will be stretching out to this distance after winning two in a row at shorter. A son of Quality Road, he will be tracking the pace.

$2 SHOW.

Another Wagering Interest

#5 Just Howard (Lynch / Motion) should be in the mix as he also ships in from the East. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one solid workout. This lad is 100% in the money at this distance. Another son of English Channel, he could be forwardly placed.
