Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Santa Anita Sprint, City of Hope Mile, Miss Grillo

Benoit Photo
Irideo needed his first two U.S. starts following a long layoff but has steadily improved and can use his late move to win the City of Hope Mile at Santa Anita.

The Kentucky Derby winner, the Dubai World Cup winner, and the Pegasus World Cup winner all see action Saturday – must be a decent Saturday of racing across North America.

Life Is Good, the Pegasus winner, can stop at the three-sixteenths pole, drink a bucket of oat milk, and still win the Woodward. Hopefully, he enjoys the experience: Things will be more challenging facing Flightline next month.

Assiniboia Downs mandatory-payout pick five for Sept. 28, 2022

RACE 3: TUFFENOUGHTOSTART is on an upward trend, and either of her last two starts would be good enough to win this. The 42 Beyer Speed Figure she received for her runner-up finish in her latest stands out, and she figures to get a nice trip from an outside post in a short field. She is entered in a tougher spot Monday and may run in both races. (The deadline for this was prior to scratch time.) Not sure how she will handle coming back this quickly if she does run, and she would be ineligible for this race if she pulls off an upset.
