Breaking on top, the 7-1 shot was overtaken by Jeebar (Frosted) and settled to stalk from second through a :22.79 opening quarter and :46.11 half-mile. Sweeping to the front entering the lane, the bay charged clear with ease to win for fun by 9 1/4 lengths. Jeebar held second.

Hall Of Fame Trainer McAnally Also Making His Mark As Breeder

In addition to his voluminous resume as the Hall of Fame conditioner of the legendary gelding John Henry, top mares Bayakoa, Paseana and so many other Grade 1 winners, Ron McAnally is also relishing his role as a Thoroughbred breeder of note. He and wife Debbie rang in the New Year on Friday as proud breeders of maiden special weight winner Rock Your World, a first-time starter who sped to an impressive 1 ¾-length win in Friday's ninth race at Santa Anita in Arcadia, Calif., stopping the clock in a rapid 1:08.47 for six furlongs on turf.

Purchased by Kosta Hronis for $650,000 as a Keeneland September Yearling, Rock Your World is out of McAnally's Empire Maker mare Charm the Maker and is by Candy Ride, who McAnally saddled to win the 2003 Pacific Classic at Del Mar.  Trained by John Sadler, Rock Your World was off as the 2-1 favorite with Joel Rosario and paid $6.60 to win.

“We've got the whole family,” said McAnally, on Saturday morning.  “The mare is back in foal to Candy Ride and we've got a 2-year-old full brother coming in next month to my barn here at Santa Anita.  This colt's (Rock Your World) full sister (newly turned 5-year-old She's Our Charm)  just ran third in the Frankel the other day (Grade 3 Robert J. Frankel on Dec. 27) and the mare (Charm the Maker) has a yearling filly in Kentucky by Into Mischief.

So although at age 88, Ron McAnally is no longer contending for training titles, he's still very much “All-In” with plenty to look forward to as 2021 unfolds.
