The GR I Santa Anita Oaks and The GR I Santa Anita Derby

Postby TJ » Wed Apr 06, 2016 4:52 pm

Here's the entries for The SA Oaks and The SA Derby. The queen of the 3YO crop is back at it again in the Oaks. While The SA Derby has a solid field as well, with up and comer Danzig Candy, hard knocker Mor Spirit and Exaggerator who probably needs a top two finish to make the Derby. Past Performances are below. TJ

When I saw her last race, I knew they were going to throw Bellamentary into the deep end here. Kind of wish they would have found a different spot for her. She's a nice filly.
