Check out my Sunday (5-9-26) Santa Anita Park Race 9 analysis below.
SA 9 (Siren Lure, 6T) – Post Time 8:07 PM ET
Primary – #6 UNCONQUERABLE KEEN, #1 Sorrento Sky
Secondary – #4 Zio Jo, #7 Artislas
Horse Comments:
#6 Unconquerable Keen (3-1) is a 5T specialist for Phil D’Amato and he also handles this trip (6 2-1-2). He won the Stormy Liberal at 5T at DMR in 2023, 2024, and 2025. He was 5-1 in the GP Turf Sprint in January and he clipped heels, lost the rider, and walked off, and the winner and show finisher were next-out winners. Kazushi Kimura is his new rider and he is 3-for-8 with this outfit recently.
#1 Sorrento Sky (5-2) rallied for the place in the Clocker’s Corner at 6T Feb. 8, and he was an even fourth in the G3 San Simeon March 14. He is training forwardly for this and he reconnects with his winning rider Antonio Fresu. The 3-time local winner should save ground behind the speed.
#4 Zip Jo (5-1) makes his first start since finishing 11th of 12 in a G2 turf sprint in Saudi Arabia in February. He hit the board in back-to-back turf sprint stakes races late last year. Emisael Jaramillo hops aboard the 3-time local winner.
#7 Artislas (10-1) makes his first start since August 2025 and Hernandez stays put. He ran well in both turf sprint attempts. He won his 5T bow in 2024 and was a close third in the John Shear at 6.5T in his other turf attempt.
