Check out my Saturday (3-14-26) Santa Anita Park Race 8 analysis below.
SA 8 (OC-50k/1x, 6.5f) – Post Time 7:40 PM ET
Primary – #5 OUR MOONLIGHT, #6 Into the Hall
Secondary – #1 Artisma
Horse Comments:
#5 Our Moonlight (7-2) added blinkers and earned the best last-race number in a clear runner-up finish behind Runamileinmyshoes at one mile Feb. 6, and the latter clicked right back at OP March 6. This one graduated in her local 6f bow and completed the exacta in her other two dirt sprints. She turns back in her third start off a layoff and drilled a local half-mile bullet for this March 2.
#6 Into the Hall (5-2) settled for minor awards in four of her first six starts. She missed by a neck and a head as the beaten favorite in October and November, and she pressed and aired from the outside post as the chalk at this course and distance on 12-29-25. Peter Eurton has her now and her wining rider Hector Berrios stays put, and another outside pressing trip is expected.
#1 Artisma (2-1) is 1-for-9 with six runner-up finishes. She is 0-for-3 with a pair of place finishes at SA, and she was part of the exacta in all three starts at 6.5f. This is her winning distance and she landed the place as the favorite in a similar 6f sprint Feb. 13.
