Santa Anita Stakes Recaps for 10-30-21
My top choice Zero Tolerance showed the way for much of the race in the Autumn Miss (G3) for flat mile turf fillies, but she weakened in the lane and ended up 4th. Burgoo Alley ($12.60) was always within striking range and reeled in pace presser Spanish Loveaffair to score by a half-length. Umberto Rispoli gave the winner a smart ride and the pilot made all the difference in this one. Javanica saved ground, waited for room, and got past Zero Tolerance late to land the show. Eddie’s New Dream, Freedom Flyer, Madone, and Ego Trip also ran. The final time was 1:34.37.
The 20 cent Rainbow 6 pool was $311,480, and multiple tickets with six winners paid $293.12. The jackpot carryover stands at $796,178, and there is a mandatory payout on closing Sunday, Oct. 31.

Santa Anita Stakes Recaps for 10-31-21
My top choice Subconscious ($7.80) was bet down from his 6-1 morning line odds in the Twilight Derby (G2), and he chased pacesetting chalk Rock Your World. Juan Hernandez always had the early leader in his sights, and he made his move around the far turn. Rock Your World was done at this point and Subconscious took the lead and steered clear to win by a length and a quarter. Cathkin Peak (IRE) was up for 2nd and Beyond Brilliant stalked the pace and held 3rd over Hudson Ridge. Flashiest and Zoffarelli (IRE) were next, and they were followed by Jungle Cry, None Above the Law, Rock Your World, and Wootton Asset (FR). The final time was 1:47.00.
The 20 cent Rainbow 6 pool was $4,593,444, and multiple tickets with six winners paid $12,164,96.
