Santa Anita Race 5
4 - Beautiful Shot
The Desormeaux brothers are at it again with this special 2-year-old colt. Beautiful Shot ran a visually impressive debut, making up 10 lengths to score by a nose, breaking his maiden first-time out. Being a debut winner is tough enough but making up that amount of ground is something special. Trainer Keith Desormeaux now brings his colt back with a confident move up into this $70K stakes with even an added furlong to work with. Beautiful Shot should relish the 6F distance today with Tapit in his bloodlines and jockey Kent Desormeaux will get a fast pace to chase with many young sprinters lined up in the Speakeasy. Beautiful Shot is the best best on Sunday's card and one to mark as a horse to watch in the future.
