Santa Anita is conducting a donation drive for area fire relief on Sunday, offering a free day at the races for people who offer donations.

The track is requesting donations of non-perishable food, water, paper towels and toilet paper, diapers, pet food, and toiletries. Donations will be accepted from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the track’s parking lots. Participants will receive free admission and a program and will not be charged for parking, the track said in a recent statement.

The 10-race program begins at 12:30 p.m. Pacific.

Antonio Fresu, who through Thursday had won 14 races at the current Santa Anita winter-spring meeting, including six stakes, will miss Friday and Saturday’s programs at Santa Anita to ride Saturday’s $20 million Saudi Cup in Saudi Arabia.

Flavien Prat, the leading rider at the current Santa Anita winter-spring meeting, will ride Hit Show in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap on March 1, while Jose Ortiz, the top jockey at Fair Grounds, will ride Locked in the same race.

The bookings were confirmed on Thursday by Brad Cox, who trains Hit Show, and Aron Wellman, the managing director of the Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, which co-owns Locked.

Frankie Dettori will be on the move next week.

Beginning Feb. 28, Dettori will begin riding on a daily basis at Gulfstream Park for several weeks. Dettori is currently based at Santa Anita and said between races on Sunday that he will be based at Gulfstream Park before a scheduled trip to Dubai in early April.

Marathon specialist Next returned to the work tab with a three-furlong move in 37.40 seconds last Saturday at Turfway, his first work since finishing last of 14 in the Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 2.

Nanda Dea was a champion miler and Group 1 winner in Argentina, but her American trainer, Ignacio Correas, is in no hurry to rush the mare back to top-level competition.

Nanda Dea ran her record to 10-8-1-0 and made it two wins from two American starts capturing the $100,000 Albert Stall Memorial Stakes on Saturday at Fair Grounds. She has shipped back to Correas’s base at Keeneland but will return to Fair Grounds for the $150,000 Tom Benson Memorial Stakes over 1 1/16 miles on grass.

For the second race in a row, East Avenue’s form went south. But unlike the colt’s ninth-place finish as the favorite in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, where a stumbling start compromised him, East Avenue’s distant 10th as the 4-5 favorite in the Risen Star this past Saturday has his connections befuddled.
