Race Analysis
SA Apr-05 Race 8
Las Flores Handicap
Post-Race Review
Second choice Sweet August Moon won the $100,000 Grade 3 Las Flores Handicap from just off the pace to prevail over Foxy Danseur. As expected, heavy favorite High Resolve, ridden by Russell Baze, got the early lead but was corralled at the top of the stretch and finished a disappointing third.
Aaron Gryder was aboard Sweet August Moon, a four-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon, for trainer Brian Koriner. The 8th race run over the Pro-Ride surface at six and a half furlongs went in 1:15.21. Sweet August Moon paid $8.20 to win and she has now won 5 of 7 races at Santa Anita.
High Resolve will be the horse to beat in Sunday’s featured race, the Las Flores Handicap. The race is reduced to six entrants after the scratch of Ashley’s Kitty. The $100,000 (gr. III) race is a 6 ½ furlong sprint for older fillies and mares. It will be race number 8 at Santa Anita over the Pro-Ride surface.
All time win-leading-jockey, Russell Baze, will ship down from Northern California to ride High Resolve...

| Greg Boomer Wry | | High Resolve
Sweet August Moon
Foxy Danseur
| | HIGH RESOLVE - not that much early speed in here, Russell could get her loose on the front end.
SWEET AUGUST MOON - came flying late in the Honest Lady.
FOXY DANSEUR - runner-up in Honest Lady could get 1st run today from a perfect stalking position.
|
| Paul Lambrakis | | High Resolve
Sweet August Moon
Foxy Danseur
| | HIGH RESOLVE will look to take them gate to wire and note Russell Baze is in to ride for Gilchrist. SWEET AUGUST MOON has taken a liking to the ProRide surface and will make his usual late charge. FOXY DANSEUR looks to be the best of the rest.
