Santa Anitas GI Chandelier S., which offers a guaranteed spot in the gate for the GI Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies here Nov. 5,
With three undefeated runners and several other strong
contenders signed on, Saturday's renewal of Santa Anitas GI
Chandelier S., which offers a guaranteed spot in the gate for the
GI Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies here Nov. 5, appears to be a
wide-open affair. Bob Baffert seeks his 10th victory in this event
and will saddle two
very strong chances to
achieve that mark
with >TDN Rising
Stars= American
Cleopatra (Pioneerof
the Nile) and Noted
and Quoted (The
Factor). A full-sister to
Triple Crown winner
and Horse of the Year
American Pharoah, American Cleopatra was an impressive debut
winner over Union Strike (Union Rags) at Del Mar July 31, but
wasforced to settle for second last time when that rival came
running late to win the Sept. 3 GI Del Mar Debutante S. by 2 1/4
lengths going seven furlongs. Fourth in her July 16 Del Mar
unveiling, Speedway Stable=s Noted and Quoted romped by 9
1/2 lengths next out there Aug. 7 and was fourth last time in the
Del Mar Debutante.
Also exiting the Debutante is third-place finisher Champagne
Room (Broken Vow). Second when debuting in the same July 16
Del Mar test as Noted and Quoted, the bay broke her maiden
with a win in the GII Sorrento S. Aug. 6 prior to her effort in the
Debutante last time.
Leading the trio of unbeaten runners is LNJ Foxwoods= With
Honors(War Front), who is two-for-two on grass thus far in her
young career. Opening her account with a half-length success
over the Del Mar lawn, the Keith Desormeaux pupil won that
venue=s Juvenile Fillies Turf S. by the same margin last time Sept.
5. Also looking to remain perfect is Zapperkat (Ghostzapper),
who romped by 5 1/4 lengths in her Del Mar unveiling Aug. 20;
and Bitzka (Tiago), who was claimed by Hronis Racing and John
Sadler for $62,500 after a debut win at Del Mar Aug. 25 and
followed suit with a victory in the Barretts Debutante S. Sept.
17.
