Santa Anita Race 5
4 - Mastery
This three-year-old has done nothing wrong so far in his career. Going undefeated in all three starts and winning by more than 12 lengths total. Mastery got a chance to stretch his legs last time out in the Cash Call Futurity and turned that 1 1/16 mile race into a run for fun. This colt is built for the route game, something important in today's race and for the Kentucky Derby, proving that at Los Alamitos. The undefeated runner has the best pedigree in the field by Candy Ride (my favorite) in the bloodlines and top connections of trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Mike Smith. Mastery is the best best in the San Felipe as he simply has too much class, pedigree and speed for this stakes field to handle.
