I'm So Anna, None Above the Law close out Gold Rush Weekend with stakes wins
I'm So Anna and None Above the Law won the two stakes at Golden Gate Fields on Sunday to complete the track's stakes-filled Gold Rush Weekend.
Favored I'm So Anna ($4.60) scored a front-running victory in the Campanile for 3-year-old California-bred fillies. None Above the Law ($8.40) rallied from far back in the Silky Sullivan for 3-year-old California-breds. Both races were scheduled for turf but transferred to the Tapeta main track and run at one mile after early morning rains.

I'm So Anna, by Fast Anna, scored her first win Sunday since capturing the Pike Place Dancer on the turf here last fall. She went wire to wire that day as well.
“She's a pro's pro, but she's a funny filly,” said winning trainer Steve Sherman. “She doesn't relax much when she's behind horses, but when she gets the lead, she's relaxed.”
I’m So Anna broke sharply under Kyle Frey in the Campanile. Squared Shady , the second choice in the wagering, sat a length off her most of the trip. The two were four lengths ahead of the rest of the field entering the stretch.
I'm So Anna began to open up the lane, and Amazen Grazen, last early, finished well to take second from Squared Shady, who ended up third. I'm So Anna won by 2 1/2 lengths and covered the mile in 1:36.93.
Owned by KMN Racing, I'm So Anna earned $45,000 to boost her earnings to $174,240 with three victories from 10 starts.
In the Silky Sullivan, None Above the Law was near the back of the pack under Evin Roman as Jimmy Blue Jeans grabbed the lead. None Above the Law was seven wide turning into the stretch but had a clear path and was flying. He defeated Seattle Bold by 2 3/4 lengths for his first stakes victory. Top Harbor was third.
“He was loaded, but I got a little worried when we were seven or eight wide,” said None Above the Law’s trainer, Peter Miller. “But Evin didn't want to get stopped. We knew distance wouldn't be a problem.”
None Above the Law, owned by Downstream Racing, earned $45,000. The son of Karakontie has earned $131,060 with three wins in nine starts.
