2017 Honeymoon Stakes Entries at Santa Anita Park

Sircat Sally

Impressive Jerry Hollendorfer trained filly has six career starts and six decisive wins (five stakes). Last time out was the G3 Senorita Stakes by 1 1/2 lengths here May 6 after wins in the G3 Providencia Stakes on this track April 8, the minor China Doll Stakes on this track March 11, the minor California Cup Oaks here January 28, the minor Soviet Problem Stakes at Los Alamitos in December and a maiden score at first asking - at Del Mar in November. Sircat Sally hasn't been touched so far and hopes to keep the incredible roll going Saturday with Mike Smith guiding her from gate 4.

Pacific Wind

Lightly raced filly hit the track for just the third time for trainer Peter Eurton having posted a win and a third-place finish so far. Last time out was a respectable step up into stakes competition - a third behind Sircat Sally and Beau Recall in the G3 Senorita Stakes here May 6. That result followed a win at first asking - also on this track March 3. Pacific Wind has been competitive so far and hopes to be again Saturday with Jamie Theriot guiding her from gate 2.

Beau Recall

Irish bred Simon Callaghan trained filly has two wins and two runner-up finishes in her five career starts. Last time out was a decent graded stakes debut - a second ahead of Pacific Wind and behind Sircat Sally in the G3 Senorita Stakes on this track May 6. Before that was a second in the minor China Doll Stakes here, an Allowance Optional Claiming score on this track January 29 and a maiden score at home in August and a fifth in her debut last June. Beau Recall has been in the mix the last year and shoots for a first stakes score in her third try. Joe Talamo rides from post 5.

Zaffinah

Jack Carava trained Irish bred filly has placed in five of seven career starts - two wins and three third place finishes. She was OK in three starts in Germany but has been much better since shipping. She enters on a nice two race win streak - an Allowance Optional Claiming last time out May 21 and a MSW April 9. Before that were a pair of runner-up finishes in MSW races this past winter - all four results on this track. Zaffinah has been trending upward ahead of this weekend and looks ready for her step up in competition. Flavien Prat has been tabbed to ride from the rail.

Tap It All

Has 13 career starts already for trainer Doug O'Neill with two wins, three seconds and two third place finishes. She made her graded stakes debut two starts back and finished sixth in the G3 Santa Ysabel Stakes on this track March 4 and followed that with a fifth last time out in an Allowance also here May 14. Before that was a nice win in the minor California Oaks at Golden Gate February 11, a third in the minor Blue Norther Stakes here December 29 and a Maiden Optional Claiming score at Turf Paradise December 4. Tap It All has failed to place in her last two starts overall after hitting the board in her previous four. She tries to rediscover her form with Mario Gutierrez in the saddle from post 3.

La Force

German bred Patrick Gallagher trained filly has a win, a second and three third place finishes in her nine career starts. She won her debut at Rome in May and posted a second and a third respectively in a pair of minor stakes early in the summer before shipping to North America. Her first start here resulted in a third in the minor Surfer Girl Stakes on this track October 10 - she has placed in just one of five starts since. Last time out was an OK third in an Allowance Optional Claiming here May 21 which followed a fifth in the minor China Doll Stakes on this track March 11, a ninth in the minor Blue Norther Stakes here in December, a twelfth in the G3 Jimmy Durante Stakes at Del Mar in November and a seventh in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. La Force hasn't been great but hopes to change her fortunes around Saturday with Rafael Bejarano in the reins from the outside gate 6.
