Santa Anita play for Sunday (10/21) Santa Anita - Race 7
#4 Lady Rosamond (7/2 ml)
2yo Baffert firster worked heads-up from the gate on Oct. 1 with Z Big Apple, who came out of that drill to win a maiden race at this same distance yesterday, with the same rider (Garcia) aboard. Perhaps more importantly though, this one also showed big speed at the Ocala sale back in April, working the fastest quarter-mile (20.4) at the under-tack show. After which, she brought a whopping $260,000 at the sale, a huge sum when you consider that her sire's stud fee was only $3,000. Looks very live here, particularly at this short distance. May lead gate-to-wire.
