Fast main track and firm turf course. One wire-to-wire winner on dirt at five furlongs. The winning turf course running styles were a front runner at nine furlongs, a stalker at one mile, and a patient runner at one mile (rail at 20 feet).
Hat trick for Flavien Prat. Kent Desormeaux booted home two turf route winners.
Farhaan had no chance to catch crawling front runner Prospect Park in the grassy second race at nine furlongs but he ended up a clear 2nd in his first SoCal start for Phil D’Amato.
Sharp Samurai looked good breaking his maiden as a first time gelding Feb 10 and I thought he had a decent chance in Thursday’s allowance feature (7th race) but he was in too tough against SA Derby hopefuls Battle of Midway and Reach the World.
Friday SANTA ANITA PARK Recap: March 10
Fast main track and firm turf course. Four wire-to-wire winners on dirt (8.5f, 8f, 7f, 6.5f). The winning turf course running styles were a dueling front runner down the hill and two downhill stalkers (rail at 30 feet).
Flavien Prat booted home a pair. Doug O’Neill saddled two winners.
