The 2024 Santa Anita Handicap winner has been out since finishing 9th in the Dubai World Cup in late March. Both of his career stakes wins have come at Santa Anita, including the Robert B. Lewis as a 3-year-old.

Group 1 winner in his native South America, his 4 domestic starts include a win last out in Monmouth's Grade 3 Iselin and a runner-up in March's Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap behind fellow California Crown entrant Newgate. Pace versatile, he's performed well on the lead and from stalking the pace.

The 2023 Preakness and 2024 Pegasus World Cup winner also added the '24 Met Mile to his impressive resume. But he'll be looking to bounce back from a 6th-place Whitney effort that was below-par for him.

Former maiden claimer won the Pleasanton Mile and was runner-up in Del Mar's Grade 2 San Diego this summer. Looks to bounce back from a poor showing in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic. He's won 4 of 9 since missing the entire '22 season.

Last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile runner-up missed this year's Triple Crown series after winning the Arkansas Derby in April. He made a successful return recently at Del Mar in winning the Shared Belief and has never finished worse than second.

New Mexico-based colt has been a road warrior, winning the Saudi Cup and finishing third in the Dubai World Cup this year. Finished third in this race a year ago when it was called the Awesome Again Stakes. One of just 10 horses all-time to have raced in North America and earned $12M+.

While it took him 9 starts to break his maiden, this sophomore wheeled right back from that Del Mar victory to finish second in the Shared Belief Stakes. Finished 2 lengths behind California Crown re-matched rival Muth in that one. -- Photo: West Point Thoroughbreds
