Santa Anita Race 8
1 - The Lieutenant
This improving three-year-old colt has the pedigree to be something special and will also be a solid price in this talented maiden event. The Lieutenant marked significant improvement second time out, running a solid fourth in sloppy conditions, and should be more than ready in his third career start. He should love the route of ground in today's race, sired by Street Sense, and after two sprints under his belt The Lieutenant looks to be ready. Trainer Michael McCarthy put in a solid 4F :46 just last week and Flavien Prat got to know the colt last time out. Look for The Lieutenant as the best bet on Saturday's card.
