The main event at Santa Anita on Saturday is the Palos Verdes at six furlongs, and it features the two-time Breeders’ Cup Sprint winner and soon-to-be two-time Eclipse Award champion male sprinter, ROY H (7). Roy H has been the best dirt sprinter over the past two seasons, and based on his devastating victory in the 2018 Breeders’ Cup, there’s really no reason to believe this 7-year-old gelding will be slowing down anytime soon.
