ARCADIA, Calif. – Sprint-to-route is the handicapping theme in one-mile races Sunday at Santa Anita – the $100,000 Cinema Stakes for 3-year-olds on turf and an entry-level dirt allowance that includes the most probable winner on the card.
Artislas stretches out in the Cinema, race 7. A multiple stakes winner last season, Artislas figures to improve off his third-place sprint comeback. Self Sufficient, third in a fast sprint, stretches out as likely favorite in race 8. He should be long gone.
Winnipeg’s Presidents’ Trophy-winning Jets have taken the city by storm as they advance through the National Hockey League playoffs.

This six-furlong grass dash for sophomore fillies looked most playable among the New York stakes. To me, the Beyers overstate the case for two horses who last ran at Fair Grounds, Lovely Emma, the major pace, and Hello Bertie, a closing threat.
A pair of $100,000 stakes races at Gulfstream Park on Saturday will provide American-based runners with a rare international opportunity. In one of the most unique arrangements in American racing, the winners of both races in Florida earn automatic berths in one of six juvenile stakes at Royal Ascot in June.
The Royal Palm Juvenile and Royal Palm Juvenile Fillies, both five-furlong turf sprints, are strange and exciting in equal measure, featuring large groups of unproven runners competing under major implications at the earliest point in their careers.
