For Fillies And Mares Four Years Old And Upward

Santa Anita Park, Arcadia Ca

Beach Towel from Winning Link Stables tracked the pace and swung wide into the stretch drive Saturday afternoon, then wore down her rivals late to get up in dramatic fashion for the big win. Picked in the preview as our upsetter of note, she certainly rewarded her backers and the stable today. Congrats to the winning connections. Antares from Alydar Stables continues in sharp form, she ran her race today and with half the field in contention inside the eighth pole, she looked like she was going to gut it out, only touched out by the winner this afternoon. Painville from Mo Mentum Farm continues on her way, proving that she still fits with stakes horses at eight years old. Nice effort this afternoon. Anoushka Titan from Maxmillion Farm was right there the whole way fighting it out as she completed the superfecta spot.

Of the rest:

Sannys Legacy from Threshold tried to close, but the leaders all stayed put when the real running started. She just ran even today.

Firefish from Noblepark also tried to close in a race that simply didn’t allow it.

Fairy Godmother from Greyhound was only able to circle the oval, with no real impact on the afternoon.

Eighteen Ninety Two from Mo Mentum Farm was unable to transfer her last race effort forward and ran last.
