Brad Free's Santa Anita Horses to Watch for week of May 30-June 1, 2025

MARGARITA GIRL
Trainer: Mark Glatt
Last race: May 30, 8th
Finish: 2nd by one-half length
Beyer: 89
Maiden comeback filly ran super in entry-level allowance sprint. Pressed hot pace, put away early rivals, and wore down late. Will be tough in maiden special-weight sprint.

SUGAR HI
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: May 30, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 3 3/4
Beyer: 81
Comeback filly not asked for run early in allowance sprint, lagged three- and four-wide entire trip, and finished evenly. This apparently was just a prep. Will be tighter next out.

BEYOND LUCKY
Trainer: Jonathan Thomas
Last race: May 31, 10th
Finish: 2nd by a neck
Beyer: 79
Older allowance filly shortened to turf sprint, dueled early, put away pace rivals, opened up, and was collared by late-runner. Super try by Beyond Lucky against race flow.

YA'LL COME
Trainer: Dean Pederson
Last race: June 1, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 2 3/4
Beyer: 68
Debut 3-year-old filly broke fast, was allowed to settle off pace, uncorked wide rally on turn and into stretch, and flattened out. She will be tough vs. Cal-bred maidens next out.
