Santa Anita Park Race 7 - American Pharoah S. Presented By Dk Horse Stakes
HUGHES (2) Was rock solid when winning by 4 3/4L last time at Del Mar and drawn nicely. Very tidy this preparation winning 3 from as many starts. Looks a suitable field and easily up to these. NET PAR (3) Tidy effort when 2nd last run at Del Mar and putting a tidy record together so far. Always seems to find the line well. Rising in trip. Among the major players. IMPERIAL HONOR (4) Shot clear to win by 5 1/4L last time at Del Mar and was on debut last time. Jockey Joel Rosario and trainer Bob Baffert work well together. Right in this. EMANCIPATE (5) Showed promise when winning by 2 1/2L last start at Del Mar and rising in distance. Jockey Mike E Smith and trainer Bob Baffert make an imposing pair. One of the hopes.

Gave nothing else a chance when winning by 5 1/4L last time at Del Mar and fitter for debut run. Going over extra ground. Facing formidable opponents. Has a credible chance.
