After some disappointing results in several points-scoring races, trainer Brad Cox started to get concerned about his prospects of participating in Kentucky Derby 152.

“You start worrying, how good’s your group?” said Cox, who watched horses such as Cannoneer, Confessional, Quiet Mischief, Rancho Santa Fe, and My World fail to make an impact in recent Derby preps. “You start getting a little concerned because it is important to me. . . . The Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks mean a lot to me and our team.”

Sassy Princess may have been no match for Lost Horizon when she tried two turns on dirt for the first time three weeks ago. But there does not appear to be anyone the quality of Lost Horizon when Sassy Princess takes another crack at two turns in Friday’s first-level allowance feature going 1 1/8 miles at Aqueduct.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The pick six on Friday at Santa Anita is not that difficult, and the $45,603 carryover is not that big. But it’s big enough.

By the time CAWs flood the pool in the final minutes before the first leg, $250,000 in new money is expected. A similar Friday carryover of $34,288 on Feb. 20 generated $206,561 in new money, and the $2 pick six paid $417.60 with four winning favorites and two second-choice winners. It was a good result for small tickets.

ARCADIA, Calif. – The last time trainer Mark Glatt and his children saw his wife, their mother, was the evening of Feb. 11. Dena Glatt, a patient at USC Arcadia Hospital, was blowing kisses from her hospital bed.

Across the street at Santa Anita, Glatt’s 3-year-old colt So Happy was safely tucked away in his stall. So Happy had won his first two starts, including the Grade 2 San Vicente Stakes a month earlier. Things were looking up.

The 3-year-old filly Luv Your Neighbor has, remarkably, finished second four times during this Fair Grounds meet. She’s unlikely to do so again because Luv Your Neighbor probably won’t contest the Fair Grounds Oaks on March 21, trainer Michael Stidham said Monday.
