Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of June 5, 2023

By Brad Free

GHOSTLY ACT
Trainer: Debbie Winick
Last race: June 2, 1st
Finish: 4th by 5
Beyer: 66

This maiden was foiled by strategy. After being rated and running super last out, he inexplicably set the pace in this turf mile and faded over an anti-speed course. Can rebound next out if he is rated.

CANE CREEK ROAD
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: June 2, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 1/2
Beyer: 88

Weekend GamePlan: Picks for Summertime Oaks, Pennine Ridge, Jersey Derby

By Marcus Hersh
Belouni wins Woodhaven at AQU April 22 2023
Joe Labozzetta/NYRA
Belouni, one of three Chad Brown runners in the Pennine Ridge, won the Woodhaven at Aqueduct despite being blocked for much of the stretch run.

There’s plenty to say about the three races under discussion this week. I’m going to get right to saying it.

Summertime Oaks

There are only seven entered, but the race is much more interesting than I anticipated – and playable too, if like me you want to beat The Alys Look.
