Check out my Friday (9-26-25) Santa Anita Park Race 9 analysis below.

SA 9 (Mcl-50k, 8T) – Post Time 8:00 PM ET
Primary – #2 REHEARSAL
Secondary – #7 Infinity Dream, #1 Thea

Horse Comments:

#2 Rehearsal (3-2) dropped from MSW to Mcl-62.5k and rallied for the place in a slow early/fast late affair at 8T Aug. 17, and she stalked the pace and landed the place as the beaten favorite at 8T Sept. 6. Umberto Rispoli was aboard for her last two starts and she will try to get over the hump in her ninth lifetime start.

#7 Infinity Dream (9-2) is getting faster for Richard Baltas. She rallied for the place at 5T Aug. 31 and she stretches out in her second start after a layoff. Barn is 20% with the blinkers off move and her new rider Hector Berrios is a 21% turf pilot.

#1 Thea (7-2) might be the one to catch from the inside post. She put blinkers back on, pressed above par fractions, and weakened to 6th of 10 as a 20-1 longshot in a Mcl-62.5k turf route at DMR Sept. 6.
