Santa Anita Race 3
4 - Drefong
The youngest in the field will prove the best of the field. The 3-year-old colt has been very impressive in his workouts leading up to this race. Drefong is meant for bigger and better, being a $450K purchase. Trainer Bob Baffert is known for working his horses fast, and a 6f 1:11 bullet at SA May 23 is a standout drill. Drefong is making his first start of 2016, but has more upside than any of his opponents today and has shown proven ability in a clear victory last time out at Del Mar. The speed figure posted from that event alone can easiely take this race. Add the presence of jockey Mike Smith and Drefong is the best bet on the Memorial Day card at Santa Anita.
