Okay so it may be on the fast side but it's playing fair. Both horses were winning on the lead and from off the pace the first two days of the meeting and that is all you can ask for. Also, despite close to 14 (yeah, that's right) 14 inches of rain in about a week, the track drained. Can you imagine how the old synthetic course would have fared? Good God.
It seems like Bob Baffert has a monster on his hands. Yeah, just what he needs, another two-year-old monster in his stable. The Factor a two-year-old colt by War Front looked quite impressive in breaking his maiden in track record time when he covered the 6 furlong distance in 1:06.98 while making the second start of his career. Under Rafael Bejarano The Factor paid $4.80 to his backers and appears to have a very bright future ahead of himself here.
The $100,000 California Breeders' Champion went to Thirtyfirststreet under Rafael Bejarano for trainer Doug O'Neill at $13.80 while edging out the favorite Arresting Officer with a furious late charge.
Switch found her rivals to her liking in the Grade I $250,000 La Brea for trainer John Sadler and jockey Joel Rosario. Switch, was second recently to Zenyatta but found no such monsters here and paid $4.40 to her backers.
Sidney's Candy took down the $150,000 Grade II Sir Beaufort on the new dirt surface when the race was taken off the turf due to the recent rains. Making it a big day for trainer John Sadler, Joel Rosario rode the three-year-old colt by Candy Ride and as the odds on pick returned $2.60 for the win.
Completing the stakes sweep, Twirling Candy took home the winners share of the purse in the $250,000 Grade I Malibu. Ridden again by Joel Rosario for trainer John Sadler, the son of Candy Ride left little doubt who was best here while winning easily and returning $9.
Jeranimo took home the winners share of the Grade II $150,000 San Gabriel on Monday under Rafael Bejarano for trainer Mike Pender. The four-year-old colt was winning for the fifth time in 15 lifetime starts and looked quite at home over the Santa Anita turf course. The son of Congaree paid $10.20 to his backers.
