Darya and Inbox are European imports entered in Sunday’s $100,000 Providencia Stakes at Santa Anita with remarkably similar records. Both are trained by Phil D’Amato, won their last starts in maiden races at 1 1/8 miles on turf, and are relatively inexperienced. Darya was a 2-5 favorite when she won her third appearance, and second in the United States, on March 21. Inbox was the 7-10 favorite when she won her second start in her American debut by 1 1/4 lengths on Jan. 24. They have similar closing styles that should be a benefit in a field of eight in the Providencia, the eighth race on a 10-race program that begins at noon Pacific. “The good thing about both those fillies, I think they are warming up at a mile and an eighth,” D’Amato said. “I like the way both are coming into the race.” :: Santa Anita Classic Meet!

A spring meeting begins on April 17 and concludes on June 14. With Sunday’s closing day, there are mandatory payouts in the early and late pick five, pick six, and super high five at Santa Anita, as well as the Coast-to-Coast Pick Five and Sunset Six that link races between Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita. Darya, who will be ridden by Antonio Fresu, starts from the inside post. She has the quickest turnaround of the fillies in the Providencia. “It’s not usual for me to do that, but she came out of it so good,” D’Amato said. “She came out of it like it was a workout. She ran the last three eighths of a mile.” D’Amato said he was further encouraged by Darya’s five-furlong workout in 59.60 seconds on Monday as a sign of fitness, describing the exercise as “stellar.” Inbox has been off the longest. :: Subscribe to the DRF Post Time Email Newsletter: Get the news you need to play today's races!  “She got a little sick on me,” D’Amato said. “We gave her plenty of time to recoup from that and not rush her back. This was the spot we were pointing for all along.” Inbox has also been sharp in recent workouts, including five furlongs in 59.80 seconds on March 21 and a half-mile in 48 flat on March 29. The Providencia will be the longest race for Wild Like the West, who has been second in two starts at the meeting in one-mile turf races – a neck loss in the Blue Norther Stakes on Dec. 29 and a half-length loss to Ramayana in an allowance on Feb. 6. Ramayana was later diagnosed with a pastern injury that will require a lengthy rest, trainer Richard Mandella said on Friday. Another notable absentee from the Providencia is Counterbalance, the winner of the China Doll Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on turf on March 8. She was entered in Saturday’s Grade 2 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland. Wild Like the West will have a prominent position in the Providencia. “She’ll be forwardly placed, hopefully,” trainer Richard Baltas said. “I’m not concerned about the distance. She gives the impression that she’s a horse that wants to go longer.” Total Val, trained by Mandella, is likely to be near the front and could ensure a solid pace. Total Val was fifth in the Blue Norther and eighth of 11 in the Sweet Life Stakes at about 6 1/2 furlongs on the hillside turf course. The Providencia is her longest race and her eighth start. Michael McCarthy, who trains Counterbalance, has three runners in the Providencia, including the maidens Lilo Lil and Victorious Dream. He also runs Tiyara, who is unbeaten in two one-mile races on turf – a $50,000 claiming race for maidens on Jan. 23 and a starter allowance on March 1. There is one shipper in Abigail, a two-time winner at Tampa Bay Downs since late December trained by Miguel Clement. Abigail was fifth in the Grade 3 Florida Oaks at Tampa on March 7. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
