Check out my Friday (5-23-25) Santa Anita Park Race 5 analysis below.

SA 5 (OC-100k/1x, 6T) – Post Time 6:00 PM ET
Primary – #6 FAVOR TO YOU, #1 Prime and Ready
Secondary – #2 Proud Starlet

Horse Comments:

#6 Favor to You (3-2) turned back, removed blinkers, and rallied to graduate by a nose at this course/distance April 19. Umberto Rispoli got to know her last time and she might be able to make it two straight from off the pace.

#1 Prime and Ready (8-5) won back-to-back local turf sprints at this distance in January and February. She missed by a half-length at 6.5T April 6, and was beaten less than a length in an even 4th of 8 at 6T April 25. This is her third start after a short layoff and she can win this on her best day. Tiago Pereira is 0-for-11 with eight underneath finishes with this outfit.

#2 Proud Starlet (5-1) dueled and kicked away in her dirt sprint bow and the show finisher was a next-out winner. She dueled and faded in the G1 Del Mar Debutante second time out, and was last seen finishing 3rd of 4 in the Anoakia (October 2024). She adds lasix and Tim Yakteen shows a profit with his first turf starters.
