Big names, a small field and Southern California’s “dark cloud” —
trainer Bob Baffert’s words, not mine — spell the story of Saturday’s
Grade 1, $1 million Santa Anita Derby.The major 2019 Kentucky Derby
prep is led by Game Winner, the Baffert trainee making his second start
of the season with 45 qualifying points to his name. The situation is a
bit more desperate for his rivals, each of whom need a victory or
runner-up finish to move on to Churchill Downs with points paying out on
a 100-40-20-10 scale to the Top 4.The card will run within the bigger
picture of Santa Anita’s recent issues regarding track safety. Let’s
hope for safe trips ahead of Race 8 on the card, set for approximately
6:30 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the field alongside Santa Anita odds
maker Jon White's morning line:1. Roadster,
5-2 (Quality Road — Bob Baffert/Mike Smith — 3: 2-0-1 — $106,200):
Baffert raved about Roadster’s comeback allowance win, a two-turn debut
victory over a rival here in Nolo Contesto. Going back to last summer,
he was the barn’s big horse, and who knows? He still could prove to be
at the right time of year. In his Del Mar Futurity (G1) defeat, Roadster
ran third by two lengths to Game Winner with a breathing issue serious
enough to require throat surgery and time off. Given he has to win or
place to move on here, he should be ready to run. The top choice.2. More Ice,
30-1 (More Than Ready — Jerry Hollendorfer/Geovanni Franco — 7: 2-0-3 —
$96,033): This colt, an unexpected entry, looks like a potential favor
to the racing office, as he was also recently listed as possible to run
on turf in Keeneland's Transylvania (G3). Third last time in the El
Camino Real Derby, More Ice scored both his wins going a mile on the
turf. He did debut sprinting on the main track and moves back to dirt
here. Toss.3. Nolo Contesto,
6-1 (Pioneerof the Nile — John Sadler/Joe Talamo — 3: 1-1-0 — $45,460):
Sadler has suggested that the inside trip taken last time allowed
Roadster first jump off the turn and played a part in the finishing
order, with his favorite coming in the runner-up. Two back, he
out-dueled eventual Rebel Stakes (G2) winner Omaha Beach going a mile
when both were still running in maiden special weight company. There’s
reason to believe he’s fast enough, and connections have always thought
highly, but Nolo Contesto caught a tough bunch here. Live longshot.4. Synthesis,
30-1 (First Samurai — George Papaprodromou/Rafael Bejarano — 9: 1-1-4 —
$117,400) : After running for trainer Keith Desormeaux in California
and Kentucky, the private purchase is back home for new connections,
including the trainer Papaprodromou, who made a bold move to enter here.
Appreciate the sportsmanship, but question whether Synthesis belongs.
If there’s one angle to merit putting him on a ticket, it’s that he
hasn’t run on a fast track since breaking his maiden Oct. 20 at
Keeneland. But in hindsight, that looks like a particularly weak flight.
Toss.
