WILD ABOUT DEB Trainer: Phil D’Amato Last race: April 9, 1st Finish: 1st by 6 Beyer: 86 This was an impressive route win by a late-developing maiden 3-year-old in just his second start. Stalked the pace inside, angled out, and romped while “ridden out.” Up the ladder. TOP FORTITUDE Trainer: Kory Owens Last race: April 9, 4th Finish: 3rd by 2 1/4 Beyer: 87 Making his first start since August in this N2X sprint, this lightly raced 5-year-old lagged, finished with a rush, and galloped out super. This was a big comeback by a Grade 3 winner. TOUGH BUT NICE Trainer: Hector Palma Last race: April 9, 10th Finish: 7th by 13 lengths Beyer: 44 Favored in a California-bred stakes, he was uncomfortable with the sloppy going and retreated. Progeny of his sire, Good Journey, often do not care for mud; follow on dry land. AMERICAN FREEDOM Trainer: Bob Baffert Last race: April 9, 12th Finish: 1st by 1 1/2 Beyer: 98 Impressive debut by this 3-year-old Pulpit colt; he trained super on a fast track and ran equally well on a sloppy track. Pressed the pace wide, inched clear late. Stakes potential. ENOLA GRAY Trainer: Phil D’Amato Last race: April 10, 7th Finish: 1st by 16 1/4 Beyer: 99 Racing over a speed-friendly surface, this California-bred filly set fast factions and won while “ridden out.” Exciting filly emerges as an early favorite for the Fleet Treat Stakes at Del Mar. WATCH ME NOW Trainer: Keith Desormeaux Last race: April 10, 11th Finish: 3rd by 5 1/2 Beyer: 49 This maiden-claiming California-bred was compromised by a slow start and a surface that favored speed and finished okay at even-money. Worth one more chance on a fair track vs. similar. :: Bet Santa Anita with DRF Bets and get FREE access to this article and all of DRF Plus, including selections, video, and real-time analysis.
