Friday’s Eddie D Stakes, honoring Hall of Fame jockey Eddie Delahoussaye, will have a full field, but there is one notable absence.
California Flag, winner of the 2009 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, is not ready for a start this week and will be trained up to the BC Turf Sprint on Nov. 3, trainer Brian Koriner said.
An 8-year-old, California Flag has made one start this year, winning the San Simeon Handicap on the hillside turf course in April.
The Eddie D field includes Shrug, winner of the Green Flash Handicap at Del Mar last month.
Santa Anita will have a ni ne-race program on Friday’s opening day.

I look to Lakerville to avenge his loss to Shrug, he was closing like a freight train and I give him the edge in the Eddie D.

MONCLOVA galloped out strongly after closing belatedly in her second trip postward May 26, from which the runner-up exited to graduate with a 68 Beyer. The daughter of Queen's Plate winner Niigon is bred to run long, and can break through with the stretchout from six and a half furlongs to a mile and a sixteenth. BE MIND PHIL is returning on short rest off a closing second in her debut, going a mile around one turn on the grass. She has a blend of speed and stamina in her pedigree.
