Marwad wins at Gulfstream Park in January. He returned from a seven-month layoff in October and will move back into stakes comapny Saturday in the Red Smith.

Thoroughbred racing flows through its own seasons that don’t necessarily accord with the calendar. The Breeders’ Cup ends the summer-fall period. This weekend opens the door to winter racing and on toward 2024 Classics. Full stakes fields abound. Hunker down by the fire with your Daily Racing Form.

Brad Free's Santa Anita horses to watch from week of Oct. 27-Nov. 5, 2023

By Brad Free
Susie Raisher
She Feels Pretty (outside) bears down on Hard to Justify at the wire of the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf but comes up three-quarters of a length short. Racing wide, she may have lost more ground than she was beaten.

SANTA ANITA
MISS KALINE
Trainer: Bob Hess Jr.
Last race: Oct. 27, 2nd
Finish: 4th by 3 1/2
Beyer: 51
Favored in N2L claiming dirt route, filly broke last, pulled, launched wide rally far turn, loomed quarter pole, tired. Solid effort, $16K claim by Hess from Ray Bell, fits vs. similar.
