Santa Anita Stakes Recaps for Saturday (1-9-21)

La Canada Stakes (G3)

Fighting Mad and Hard Not to Love got into an early tussle, and my value top choice Sanenus found herself in a perfect stalking spot behind those two. She struck the front at the six furlong mark and widened to score by 6-lengths under Umberto Rispoli. Miss Stormy D stalked from 4th and got her nose down to nip Hard Not to Love for the runner-up spot. Never Enough Time was 6+ lengths back in 4th, and Fighting Mad, Proud Emma, and Message completed the order of finish.

Las Cienegas Stakes (G3)

Strange doings right out of the gate. Lighthouse lightly bumped Superstition, and that caused Oleksandra to clip heels and dump rider Joel Rosario. Bohemian Bourbon briefly led from the rail, but Charmaine’s Mia quickly took over and kept on finding in a 2-1/2 length upset under Van Dyke. Beaten favorite Jolie Olimpica was up for 2nd and Lighthouse had her number taken down for the aforementioned early interference. Superstition was elevated to 3rd and Bohemian Bourbon was moved up to 4th.

Santa Anita Stakes Recaps for Sunday (1-10-21)

Kalookan Queen Stakes

This was a competitive sprint. Acting Out set the pace and Mo See Cal chased from the outside post. 3-2 favorite Qahira sat a nice tactical trip behind those two, and she took over in the lane and was a length to the good while under confident handling with Rosario in the saddle. Amuse was patient handled from the inside post under Van Dyke, and she angled out and finished 2nd. Biddy Duke was inside and behind the speed, and she was best of the rest in 3rd. Mo See Cal weakened to 4th, and Dynasty of Her Own and Acting Out trailed.
