Santa Anita

Brad Free's Santa Anita Horses to Watch for the week of May 15-17, 2026

Brad Free|May 19, 2026

PROLETARIAT
Trainer: Jeff Mullins
Last race: May 15, 5th
Finish: 1st by 1
Beyer: 91
First start in six months, graded stakes-placed 3-year-old pressed pace three wide in allowance turf sprint, made lead furlong pole, held. Sharp comeback by sprint gelding sired by Raging Bull.

JORDI BEAR
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: May 15, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 1
Beyer: 89
European import lacked speed, raced at back of allowance turf sprint, rallied wide, finished six lengths clear of third in promising U.S. debut. Jordi Bear a 3-year-old to follow at Del Mar.

HE IS NO LIE
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: May 15, 6th
Finish: 1st by 8
Beyer: 69
Debut 2-year-old sped to lead, set fast pace two wide, dominated, 51.88 fastest 4 1/2 furlongs at Santa Anita in five years. By first-crop sire Early Voting, stakes race next out.

WAITING FOR YOU
Trainer: Leonard Powell
Last race: May 15, 7th
Finish: 4th by 5 1/2
Beyer: 70
European 3-year-old filly trailed allowance turf mile, finished well, galloped out super in strong U.S. debut. Stakes-placed in France, potential stakes contender this summer at Del Mar.

AMORITA
Trainer: Richard Mandella
Last race: May 16, 9th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 87
Stakes-placed filly got beat on the square, no excuse, in Mizdirection Stakes on turf. However, impressive recent dirt works suggest she is worth following when she switches to main track.

RAGING INFERNO
Trainer: Dan Blacker
Last race: May 17, 1st
Finish: 2nd by 5
Beyer: 63
Maiden-claiming 3-year-old added Lasix, dueled in fast-tempo turf mile, shook off three pace rivals, no match for late-running winner. This was a fine comeback, his first start in five months.

COME ON OM
Trainer: Sean McCarthy
Last race: May 17, 9th
Finish: 2nd by nose
Beyer: 70
Debut 3-year-old filly dueled early in Cal-bred maiden turf sprint, put away pace rival, worn down late, finished five lengths clear. Sharp debut by Harris Farms-owned daughter of Om.
