Three-year-olds will be in the spotlight next weekend when the roads to both the GI Santa Anita Derby and GII Santa Anita Oaks kick off at The Great Race Place.

This Saturday, Santa Anita will host the GII San Vicente for sophomores going seven furlongs. Headlining the nominees are unbeaten Bullard winner of the GIII Bob Hope at Del Mar Nov. 17; Breeders’ Cup Juvenile runner-up Gaming and highly regarded maiden winner Barnes.

On Sunday, sophomore fillies will get their turn in the seven-furlong Santa Ynez Stakes. Among the nominees for the Santa Ynez are Tenma and Look Forward, the one-two finishers in the GII Starlet at Los Alamitos Dec. 7.

Both the Santa Anita Derby and Santa Anita Oaks are scheduled for April 5.
