Thursday’s Santa Anita Park Recap – March 7
Wet fast (sealed) main track and off the turf. Early-pressing types dominated (3 wire jobs).
Hat trick for leading rider Rafael Bejarano. Trainer Jerry Hollendorfer saddled two winners and Bejarano rode both.
On the ticket front I tabbed three Primary (So She Dances, Cherry on the Cake, Seeking the Sherif) winners and two Secondary (Church Avenue, Examen) winners.
