Check out my Friday (5-22-26) Santa Anita Park Race 6 analysis below.
SA 6 (Clm-12.5k, 5.5f) – Post Time 6:32 PM ET
Primary – #5 OUTRAGEOUS, #1 Sensational Z Z
Secondary – #2 Miz Clubcali, #3 Wishes to Riches, #7 Ro Town
Horse Comments:
#5 Outrageous (7-2) chased from post 11 and won by 3/4ths of a length in a local $10k sprint Feb. 13 and clear runner-up Sensational Z Z was a next-out winner. She worked out a comfortable early-pressing trip from the outside post March 13 and easily won as the favorite at 6f. She is 3-for-4 with a show finish since December 2025.
#1 Sensational Z Z (3-1) wired the field in a DMR dirt sprint at 14-1 odds July 31 ($16k, 3yo fillies). She was unplaced in her next three starts, and she set the pace and held the show in a dirt sprint at DMR Nov. 2 ($16k, 3yo fillies). She was the 3-2 favorite at LRC Dec. 6 and she dueled and prevailed by a nose (Clm-8k, 5.5f). She got clear early and was caught late by betting favorite Outrageous at 5 5.5f Feb. 13. She should impact the pace under her winning rider Kazushi Kimura.
#2 Miz Clubcali (9-2) rallied from off the pace to upset a dirt sprint at 24-1 odds November 2025, and she was off the board in her next six starts. She dropped and switched surfaces April 5, and rallied to nip Aloha Dreamin by a head (Clm-10k/3L, 6f). She stalked wide from post 11 and landed the place at 6f April 24. Gary Stute claimed her for $10k last time and she figures to stalk the pace under Tiago Pereira.
#3 Wishes to Riches (4-1) makes her first start since February 2025 for D’Amato. She ran well in four starts from August 2024 thru January 2025, and went to the sidelines after dueling and ending up 4th of 10 February 2025. She was a sharp local maiden winner (October 2024) and won again at SA January 2025.
#7 Ro Town (4-1) ended 2025 with a win at Los Al and pressed and faded to 7th of 8 in a $25k turf sprint April 17. She is down in class and back on dirt, and she might go better in her second start off the bench.
