Saturday Morning Notes

Santa Anita morning works
– Santa Anita resumes racing today over its reconstituted surface with three graded stakes on a 10-race card, including the Las Virgenes, a prep for the Kentucky Oaks.
– Anyone (like me) thinking of betting Tale of Ekati in Pool 1 of the Kentucky Derby Future Wager should take heed: “I still don’t have him right back where I want him yet,” says trainer Barclay Tagg (DRF). It’s possible the colt will only have two preps heading into the Derby.
– On Facebook? Join the group Thoroughbred Racing in New York. Feel the love, celebrate the racing, never mind a looming showdown and possible shutdown.
