ARCADIA, Calif. – Bendable, a winner of two sprint stakes on dirt for fillies and mares, is scheduled to have her turf debut in Saturday’s Grade 3 Las Cienegas Handicap on the hillside course at Santa Anita.
The $100,000 Las Cienegas is run for fillies and mares at about 6 1/2 furlongs.

Other candidates for the Las Cienegas are Anita Partner, Beau Recall, Coniah, Instant Reflex, and Proper Discretion.
