ARCADIA, Calif. – Second Summer had a quiet 3-year-old season in 2015, winning once in six starts while racing primarily on turf. This year, a move to dirt races has revitalized Second Summer’s career and led to a start in Sunday’s $200,000 Californian Stakes at Santa Anita.Second Summer will start in the Grade 2 Californian at 1 1/8 miles on the strength of consecutive wins in optional claimers here in March and at Los Alamitos last month. Those wins, combined with a strong recent workout, have left trainer Peter Eurton eager to test Second Summer in the Californian, which lacks a nationally prominent older horse.“He’s changed so much from turf to dirt,” Eurton said. “He has a much better turn of foot on dirt than grass.”Second Summer races for Sharon Alesia, Ciaglia Racing, Marc Ferrell, and Slam Dunk Racing and has won 3 of 12 starts for $150,610. Eurton said his clients are willing to gamble on a start in the Californian Stakes.“The group is looking forward to it,” he said. “They love taking shots.”The Californian drew a field of seven, including Hard Aces, who was second in the $1 million Santa Anita Handicap on March 12, and Point Piper, who was fifth in the Big Cap and third in the Grade 2 Oaklawn Handicap in Arkansas on April 16.Second Summer will be ridden by Mario Gutierrez, who was aboard for the win at Los Alamitos on April 17. Eurton was encouraged by a five-furlong workout by Second Summer in 59.20 seconds at Santa Anita on Monday.“It was an amazing effort,” Eurton said. “He did it like he was going in 1:04. He came out of it well.”
