friday

G1 - $1,000,000

SCENE SETTER: The Europeans took the division’s baton a year ago and look to continue behind multiple stakes winner BIG EVS, favored in the British futures markets. NO NAY METS has won stakes this year at Gulfstream, Monmouth and Colonial Downs, but must answer the international question in the JTS due to a disappointing ninth in the Norfolk at Royal Ascot when last matched with the Europeans. George Weaver stablemate AMIDST WAVES exits a nose defeat to COMMITTEE OF ONE at Keeneland.

1/ST BET FACTORS, POWERED BY BETMIX:

Top 1/ST BET handicapping factors in this race historically are Avg. of Last 3 E1 (Early) Pace, Avg. Best 2 of Last 3 Speed and Horses Beaten %.
Last year’s winner Mischief Magic for Charlie Appleby & William Buick ranked first in 8 individual factor categories, primarily in the leading jockey and trainer statistics.

$100 wagering strategy:

  • $70 Daily Double: BIG EVS to JUST FYI
  • $15 Daily Double Part-Wheel: NO NAY METS, CRIMSON ADVOCATE to JUST FYI ($30)

    Trainer Wesley Ward has won the Juvenile Turf Sprint 3 of its 5 years and has saddled the post-time favorite in 4 straight editions (winning 2 of 4 as favorite).  

    Prior starts to winning the JTS: Bulletin (1), Four Wheel Drive (2), Golden Pal (3), Twilight Gleaming (4), Mischief Magic (5) increasing in each renewal of this race. 

    Europeans have accounted for 7 of the 20 superfecta placings in the JTS, including lastyear’s 1-2-4 finishers. 

    In the only JTS held at Santa Anita to date (2019), 3-2 favorite Four Wheel Drive ran his record to 3-for-3 with a wire-to-wire score and American sweep of the superfecta.

    SCENE SETTER: TAMARA, daughter of the champion mare and 2022 Hall of Fame inductee Beholder, will be one of the most sought-after names on Future Stars Friday. The stylish Del Mar Debutante winner exits a 6-3/4 length romp and is perfect in 2 starts. She’ll stretch out in distance for the first time while meeting ascending Alcibiades winner CANDIED, who answered the stretch-out question at Keeneland. CHATALAS chased TAMARA to no avail at Del Mar, but then solidified her form with a wire-to-wire local win in Santa Anita’s Chandelier at the JF distance.

          The average Juvenile winner in Santa Anita’s 10 editions has paid $30.50, far greater than the race’s $18.31 average across its 40-year history. 

          Bob Baffert has had the Juvenile favorite each of the past 2 years and 3 of thelast 5, winning twice and finishing second a year ago. 

          Inaugural 1984 winner Chief’s Crown is the only odds-on (less than even-money) winner of the Juvenile, and note odds-on favorites have lost 4 of the last 6 years.

          SCENE SETTER: AGATE ROAD won NYRA’s Pilgrim Stakes, giving Todd Pletcher and Irad Ortiz Jr. their third straight win in that key prep. He leads the Americans in what has been a lone standoff prep against the Europeans in the last decade. Aidan O’Brien has a trio of entries here, namely MOUNTAIN BEAR, UNQUESTIONABLE and Royal Ascot winner RIVER TIBER, the latter luring Ryan Moore's services. New York-based CARSON’S RUN made a name for himself in Canada and has been near-perfect.

            SCENE SETTER: CODY’S WISH set off an emotional celebration in the wake up his 2022 Dirt Mile victory and will be making his final career start in his title defense. Connections tinkered with Classic aspirations this year, but were relegated back to the DM after a third-place try in the Whitney, his only loss in his last 8 starts.

Europeans like WARM HEART and INSPIRAL should provide a formidable invasion. The ex-patriated FEV ROVER, winner of the Beverly D. and E.P.

                  The F&M Sprint has never been won wire-to-wire. Its pacemakers have a paltry 16: 0-2-2 record all-time (Slammed, last of 12 a year ago).

                  In 7 F&M Sprint editions at Santa Anita, the winner was 3-1 odds or less 6 times.

                  Californians have won just 2 of the 7 F&M Sprint editions held at Santa Anita (2008, 2016).

                  The team of Godolphin-Charlie Appleby-William Buick has won the past 2 Mile editions (Space Blues, Modern Games), the only group to score back-to-back in this race with different horses in its history.

                  Five straight Mile winners have been bred in Ireland or England, the former providing the most recent trio.

                  10 fillies/mares have won the Mile, most of any open Breeders’ Cup division, most recently Uni in 2019.

                      Europeans have won 19 of the last 24 Turf editions, including 7 of the last 8. They’ve mustered 5 of the 10 held at Santa Anita.

                      Irish-breds took 5 of the top 6 placings in last year’s Turf. They account for 17 BC Turf winners all-time.

                      5 fillies/mares have won the Turf: Tarnawa (2020 at Keeneland), Enable (2018), Found (2015 at Keeneland), Miss Alleged (1991) and Pebbles (1985).

                      The Arc de Triomphe has been the final prep of 10 Turf winners, easily most of any race. Belmont’s Joe Hirsch Turf Classic is next with 6, but not since 2012.

This race’s strength now appears on the heels of Dubai World Cup winner USHBA TESORO, who bids to become the first Japanese-based Classic winner, and locally based ARABIAN KNIGHT, training strongly since a Pacific Classic score at Del Mar.

                        Flightline’s $2.88 mutuel last year was a record-low for the Classic (Cigar in 1995, American Pharoah in 2015 both paid $3.40). It was just the fifth sub-$3 win payoff in Breeders’ Cup history.

                        Only 2 of 10 Classic renewals at Santa Anita have been won by horses under 4-1 odds with 5 paying $20-plus mutuels.

                        13 times a 3-year-old has won the Classic, most recently Authentic in 2020. Arrogate did so in 2016 at Santa Anita, completing a three-year sophomore sweep that included Bayern and American Pharoah.

                        saturday

                        G1 - $1,000,000

                        SCENE SETTER: Held at 5 furlongs on turf and not the 6-1/2 furlongs of the downhill course as in earlier Santa Anita BC renewals (and also moved post-Classic on the Saturday card), the Turf Sprint features CARAVEL, the defending champion. Upsets among the males in key preps this year at Saratoga and Keeneland put locally based MOTORIOUS in a prominent position over his homecourse. Foreign threats include LIVE IN THE DREAM and Japan's JASPER KRONE.

                          California-based trainers have won the Turf Sprint in 6 of 7 editions held at Santa Anita, though not all those runners prepped in the state.

                          Glass Slippers (2020) is the only European winner of the Turf Sprint, though Euros finished 2-3-4 a year ago at Keeneland.

                          Mizdirection (2012-’13) and Stormy Liberal (2017-’18) are the only back-to-back TS winners. Defending champs are 2-for-10 the next year in this event.

                          Last year’s $87.78 winner Caravel was the longest shot ever to win the TS and the fifth-longest price ever to win a Breeders’ Cup grass race.

                          SCENE SETTER: The Sprint moves to the final BC Saturday race on the schedule. ELITE POWER had his 8-race winning streak, which included last year’s BC Sprint, halted in Saratoga’s Forego last out. Was the defeat a one-off, or does it foreshadow danger in his attempt to become the third horse (joining Midnight Lute and Roy H) to repeat in this BC division? California will be well represented with DR. SCHIVEL, who missed by a nose in this race in 2021, and THE CHOSEN VRON, who has won 13 of 17 races overall and 8 straight. Trainer Steve Asmussen shortens the trip for GUNITE.

                            KNOW THIS

                            Californians haven’t won the Sprint the last 4 years, the longest drought for those runners in this division since a 5-year window in 2001-’05.

                            8 of the last 10 Sprint winners exited prep wins and only 1 finished out of the exacta most recently.

                            5 of the last 6 Sprint favorites finished out of the exacta, all at 8-5 or less odds.

                            The Ortiz Brothers have rattled off the last 3 Sprint victories – Irad in 2020 and 2022, Jose in 2021.
