Santa Anita Race 8 {Sham~G3~1 1/8~3 year old~Stakes}
Another great derby prep race with a competitive field.  This race is a test to see which one of these guys might have a breakout race.  All of their connections are chasing derby dreams.  Kettle River (Blanc / Harty) looks to be the best.  With the highest last out speed number and a muscular workout tab, he should be ready to roll.  Nextdoorneighbor (Smith / Machowsky) looks ready to run a solid race.  He has a decent last out speed number and three well-built peaking workouts.  Outlaw Man (Gomez / McPeek) has already gone this distance on turf.  He looks prepped for a breakout performance with an average last out speed number and two decent workouts. Look for him to close well.  The Program (M. Garcia / Baffert) has compiled a fierce workout tab with three fast five furlong workouts.  He will be near the front end and should hold on for a piece of the purse pie. Setsuko (Bejarano / Mandella) has also traveled this distance over the turf.  He has a nice last out speed number and four peaking workouts.  Setsuko will compete for a piece of the pie.  Let's play beautiful Santa Anita.
