Santa Anita Race 6
1 - Oscar Dominguez
This 5-y/o gelding will once again turn his closing kick into a trip to the winner’s circle under Hall of Fame jockey Kent Desormeaux. Oscar Dominguez has been cashing checks from far off the pace but running out of ground for the top spot. Today, expect Desormeaux (2nd time aboard) to sit closer to the pace and make that run earlier in the race to grab the top prize. Dominguez holds a number of the top speed figures in the field and makes an important drop in class from a Grade II into an Optional Claiming race. Trainer John Sadler has also given his runner a few maintenance drills in preparation for this event. Oscar Dominguez is Saturday’s best bet of the day.
