There is no shortage of bets linking the major stakes at Santa Anita this weekend.

In an effort to promote Saturday’s California Crown program, and the first weekend of the track’s fall meeting, Santa Anita is offering five bets with 15 percent takeouts, lower than the standard rate of 23.68 for other multi-race bets such as the pick three or pick six.

On Saturday, there is a $1 all-stakes pick five encompassing the day’s stakes races – the Unzip Me, John Henry Turf Championship, Eddie D Stakes, California Crown, and City of Hope Mile. The bet has a mandatory payout.

Linda’s Gift, a four-time stakes winner on turf at Del Mar and Santa Anita in the last year, has been retired after an injury diagnosis, trainer Richard Mandella said on Friday.

He said his owners are in the process of turning over the racing-age horses in his care to his longtime assistant, Jason Faul. Delahoussaye, 67, said the decision to retire from training was not made overnight.

Proven at a mile on dirt at Saratoga last month, the 5-year-old gelding Big Blue Line will have a radically different assignment on the other side of the country in Saturday’s Grade 2 John Henry Turf Championship at Santa Anita.

For the third time in his career, Big Blue Line will start on grass. The $750,000 John Henry Turf Championship will be his stakes debut on the surface at a new distance of 1 1/4 miles.

Adare Manor, the dominant older female in California the last 18 months, has been retired, trainer Bob Baffert said in a text message on Wednesday afternoon.

Part of trainer Peter Miller’s base at the San Luis Rey Downs training center in Bonsall, Calif., is under quarantine after a horse in his care was euthanized Tuesday at a veterinary clinic following a diagnosis of equine herpesvirus, a highly contagious disease, according to California equine medical director Jeff Blea.

Miller’s operation has more than one physical barn at San Luis Rey Downs. The quarantined runners represent a segment of the stable’s overall setup. Miller has a small number of horses based at Santa Anita that are not affected.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Full Serrano, who was second in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar on Aug. 31, is a candidate for the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar on Nov. 2 after being withdrawn from consideration for Saturday’s Grade 1 California Crown at Santa Anita because of a recent illness.

Trainer John Sadler said Full Serrano could resume workouts as soon as the end of this month. Full Serrano was beaten a half-length by Mixto in the Pacific Classic at 1 1/4 miles, the American stakes debut for the 5-year-old Argentine-bred.
