Santa Anita Stakes Recaps for 6-11-22
Affirmed (G3): Two scratches left a field of four, and Hopper ($8.60) grabbed the lead from the rail and never relinquished it. Doppelganger took up chasing duties but that really is not his game, and Hopper put that one away and kicked well clear to win by 4+ lengths. High Connection got past Doppelganger late for the show and Pioneering Papa trailed throughout and was eased.

Santa Anita Stakes Recaps for 6-12-22
Summertime Oaks (G2): Under the Stars ($9.20) got the best trip. Stretch out sprinter Gandara set the pace and Under the Stars stalked from 2nd under Hernandez, took the lead, and turned away my 6-1 value top choice Lady T to score by a length and a quarter. Strong favorite Desert Dawn lost all chance after stumbling badly at the start, and she was best of the rest in 3rd. Ganadora and Kirstenbosch finished in a dead-heat for 4th, and Empire Gal and Bicameral also ran.
The 20 cent Rainbow 6 pool was $224,568, and multiple tickets with six winners paid $345.84. The jackpot carryover stands at $221,453.
