Santa Ana Stakes at Santa Anita Park

Las Vegas, NV -- Santa Anita Park's turf course will take center stage this weekend - March 25th when the Grade 2 Santa Ana Stakes headlines the Sunday card. Fillies and mares four years old and upward will be chasing a purse of $150,000 over a distance of 1 1/8 miles.

11 quality entries will go in Race 7 on Santa Anita's Sunday schedule with a post time of 3:36 PM. There are fair number of graded stakes winners among the field and a good majority of participants in last month's Grade 2 Buena Vista Handicap at Santa Anita will be back to try for a win this time around.

Let's take a closer look at the 11 participants and their recent performances.

Santa Ana Stakes Race Favorites

Cambina - is a three time winner on this course but has had a tough time as of late finishing fifth in the Grade 2 Buena Vista Handicap at Santa Anita on February 20th and before that managing only an eighth place finish at the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf. However, Cambina won the Grade 1 American Oaks last year at this time and will be looking to get back in the winner's circle this week.

Remaining Field Entries
