Thirteen older fillies and mares are nominated for the La Canada (G3) going 1 1/16 miles at Santa Anita. The race is the lone stakes Saturday at the Arcadia, Calif. track.
Six of the nominees are exiting the seven-furlong La Brea (G1) at Santa Anita on Dec. 26, including Bob Baffert's Fun to Dream, who earned her third win in a row when edging Doug O'Neill's Awake at Midnyte by three-quarters of a length. Kristenbosch was third for trainer John Sadler while Midnight Memories, the La Brea favorite for Baffert, checked in fourth.
Among the potential new shooters are Chancery Way, who is exiting a restricted stakes win at Golden Gate for trainer Jamey Thomas; and Anacapa, a sharp allowance winner going two turns at Del Mar two starts back for trainer Carla Gaines.
Anacapa would be wheeling back on short rest as she was cut back to seven furlongs for the Las Flores (G3) on Dec. 31 and finished seventh.
The La Canada along with the rest of Saturday's card will be drawn on Wednesday.
