Santa Anita Park Race 5

San Vicente S. Stakes

Prize Money: $298,954

BUETANE (3) resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1207m at Del Mar. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. THIRSTY REBEL (5) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 6 lengths over 1207m at Los Alamitos (Dirt). Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. ACKNOWLEDGEMEPLZ (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1710m at Los Alamitos, finishing 16 lengths from the winner. Definite chance. SO HAPPY (2) won on debut last time out seven weeks ago over 1308m at Del Mar, getting home by 0.8 lengths. One of the contenders.
