HBO’S LUCK INKED FOR SECOND SEASON, SANTA ANITA TO CONTINUE IN STARRING ROLE

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 3, 2012)—LUCK, the racetrack-themed dramatic series which premiered on HBO this past Sunday, has been picked up for a second season according to HBO officials. The series, which is centered primarily at Santa Anita and stars such “A” List actors as Dustin Hoffman, Nick Nolte and Dennis Farina, has garnered a gross audience of 3.1 million viewers to date, according to ratings compiled by Nielson.

“This is good news for horse racing and great news for Santa Anita,” said Greg Avioli, C.E.O. for Santa Anita Park.

LA SOMBRE MAKES GOOD ON CHANGE WITH SCORE IN SANTA ANITA’S ARISTOTLE ALLOWANCE PURSE

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 3, 2012) – Scratched from last Sunday’s one mile, $100,000 Valentine Dancer Stakes to run in Friday’s $70,150 Aristotle Purse, La Sombre enhanced her reputation for consistency with a clear-cut victory as the odds-on favorite in the competition for fillies and mares at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita’s hillside turf course.

Under a vigorous hand ride by Martin Garcia, the 5-year-old California-bred daughter of Unusual Heat defeated 7-2 second-choice Lofty Ambition by 1 ½ lengths while running the distance in 1:12.66.

PICK SIX CARRYOVER OF $65,372 INTO SATURDAY, ACTION-PACKED CARD COULD CREATE $500,000 POOL

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 3, 2012)—No one tabbed all six winners in Santa Anita’s popular Pick Six on Friday, creating a carryover to Saturday of $65,372 and the prospect of a total Pick Six pool of $500,000.

Saturday’s Pick Six will cover races five through 10, with two of those, the Robert B.

BIG ’CAP CHAMP GAME ON DUDE RETURNS IN GRADE II SAN ANTONIO STAKES WITH FIRST POST ON SUPER BOWL SUNDAY AT 11 A.M.

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 2, 2012) – Defending Santa Anita Handicap champion Game On Dude reaches a crossroads Sunday in Santa Anita’s Grade II, $200,000 San Antonio Stakes, his first race since nearly making off with the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic at Churchill Downs on Nov. 5.

This much is clear: Game On Dude, who earned over $1.9 million in eight races last year, will be a prohibitive favorite against six opponents in the 75th running of the mile-and-one-eighth event that often serves as an important steppingstone to the Grade I Big ’Cap.

THERE’S NO CATCHING DON PERICO, ROSARIO AT 8-1 IN BLACK ROCK PURSE

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 2, 2012) – Don Perico, a 5-year-old gelded son of In Excess, terminated a six-race losing streak when scoring a wire-to-wire victory under leading rider Joel Rosario in Thursday’s $59,750 Black Rock Purse for California-breds at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita’s hillside turf course.

BAFFERT UNLEASHES PRIME DERBY PROSPECT LIAISON IN LEWIS STAKES; TAPIZAR HEADS STRUB; MR. COMMONS TOPS ARCADIA AS SANTA ANITA PRESENTS GRADE II STAKES TRIPLEHEADER ON SATURDAY

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 1, 2012) – Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert amps up his assault on the April 7 Santa Anita Derby (Grade I) and Triple Crown events beyond on Saturday when sending out his most accomplished Kentucky Derby prospect, Liaison, in Santa Anita’s Grade II, $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles.

The Lewis is one of three Grade II stakes to be contested on Saturday’s Strub Stakes Day, a reference to the track’s historic $200,000 Strub Stakes at 1 1/8 miles for 4-year-olds which is headed by trainer Steve Asmussen’s Tapizar, already deemed a leading candidate for the March 3 Santa Anita Handicap. The $150,000 Arcadia, at one mile on turf, completes the afternoon’s graded stakes tripleheader.

UNZIP ME BACK ON TOP OF HER GAME WITH WISHING WELL TRIUMPH

ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 29, 2012) – After disappointing as the prohibitive favorite in 4 of her 6 previous starts, 6-year-old Unzip Me reaffirmed her status as the West Coast’s premier female turf sprinter Sunday with a half-length victory over Teroda in Santa Anita’s $86,600 Wishing Well Stakes.

With longtime companion Rafael Bejarano in the saddle, Unzip Me gained control entering the stretch and safely rebuffed the runner-up’s last charge while running the 6 ½-furlong distance of Santa Anita’s hillside turf course in a swift 1:11.94.

Her connections had considered stretching the California-bred chestnut mare out to one mile for the first time in Saturday’s $100,000 Valentine Dancer Stakes for state-breds, but changed course in an eleventh-hour decision. “It looked like there was a lot of pace in there on Saturday,” trainer Marty Jones had explained.

HOME SWEET ASPEN NARROWLY WINS GRADE I SANTA MONICA STAKES AFTER STIRRING STRETCH DUEL BEFORE SUNSHINE MILLIONS’ DAY CROWD OF 30,514

ARCADIA, Calif. (Jan. 28, 2012) – Following a stirring stretch-long duel with Sugarinthemorning, Craig Stables’ Home Sweet Aspen emerged victorious by a neck Saturday in Santa Anita’s 55th running of the Grade I, $300,000 Santa Monica Stakes for older fillies and mares at seven furlongs before an on-track crowd of 30,514 on Sunshine Millions Day.

Timed in 1:21.42 under a vigorous ride by Joel Rosario, the homebred daughter of Candy Ride rebounded from a faltering fourth in the Grade I La Brea Stakes on Dec. 31 to gain her first graded stakes victory in her ninth start.

It wasn’t easy. Home Sweet Aspen and Sugarinthemorning, with Rafael Bejarano aboard, began to separate themselves from the other five entrants at the head of the lane. But neither would yield. It was Home Sweet Aspen, a 5-1 shot, along the rail with 9-2 Sugarinthemorning on her flank. Finally, Rosario’s mount slowly edged clear.
