Saturday’s card at Santa Anita is highlighted by the Grade 1 Santa Anita Sprint Championship, a key prep for next month’s Breeders’ Cup Sprint. The Sprint Championship kicks off a pick-three sequence that I’m interested in looking at, and it concludes with the Swingtime, a restricted stakes for fillies and mares on turf.
RACE 6 – SANTA ANITA SPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP
Race 7:
Helooksthepart (#6)
Still closed well despite getting a slow pace ahead of him last time.
The main track was favoring inside runners on Aug. 16, and he was wide for most of his trip.
Robertino Diodoro gets a 100 Trainer Rating with claimers dropping in class.
4-1 on ML

It’s never happened before but there’s always a chance it will with BreezeFigs first-time starter maidens. In our Pick last week we keyed second-choice Maurinho (whom we also played straight) with favored Instilled Regard and long shot Peace, with Alternate Rhythm, the only other BreezeFigs colt in the race given a gimmick shot.
The beasts of the handicap division Arrogate and Gun Runner aren’t in Saturday’s Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup at Belmont, and that may pave the way for one of the upstart 3-year-olds in the race to cap your pick five ticket.

Race 4:
Khaleesi Kat (#8)
Made a premature move down the backstretch last time.
Linda Rice gets a 100 Trainer Rating first off the claim.
Gets some needed class relief.

Race 5:
Casigordo (#4)
Avery Island
Trainer: Kiaran McLaughlin
Last race: Sept. 30, 3rd
Finish: 1st by 5 1/4
Beyer: 79
Godolphin 2-year-old with route pedigree was outpaced sprinting in his career debut, but he improved with the added ground in his second start while dominating maidens right on the front end.
