Santa Ynez Stakes 2024 Analysis

 



By Jarrod Horak

The road to Kentucky Oaks 2024 continues at Santa Anita Park on Sunday, January 7, and I have included Santa Ynez 2024 picks below. The Grade 3 event for 3-year-old fillies has a $100,000 purse and the five entrants will be journeying seven panels on the main track. The Santa Ynez is the 8th race on Jan. 7 and the top five finishers will earn Kentucky Oaks points (10-5-3-2-1). 

Santa Ynez Stakes 2024 Picks & Final Time Ratings

Kopion was visually impressive at 30 cents on the dollar in her 6 1/2 furlong bow at Del Mar on Nov. 26. She stalked slow fractions and impressively kicked away in a 3 3/4 length victory under Flavien Prat. Richard Mandella’s $270k Omaha Beach filly has worked four times at Santa Anita since her debut including a nice drill on Dec. 25.

Tambo graduated in an $80k maiden claiming affair second time out, and she placed in her last two stakes starts. Nothing Like You nipped her by a nose in the Desi Arnaz at this trip last time and that Bob Baffert runner clicked right back in the Grade 2 Starlet at Los Alamitos Race Course on Dec. 9. Antonio Fresu sticks with Peter Eurton’s Enticed filly and she should be all over the pace.
