The Alys Look figures prominently in wide-open $200,000 Summertime Oaks Saturday at Santa Anita

Fresh off a solid third place finish for trainer Brad Cox in the Grade I Kentucky Oaks, The Alys Look figures prominently as she goes for a new barn and makes her Southern California debut in Saturday’s Grade II, $200,000 Summertime Oaks at Santa Anita. A wide- open affair on paper, the Summertime Oaks, to be contested at a mile and one sixteenth, has attracted a field of seven sophomore fillies.

Owned by Ike and Dawn Thrash, The Alys Look, who has been stabled at Keeneland following her 2 ¾ length defeat in the Kentucky Oaks May 5, will make her first start for Kentucky-based trainer Christopher Davis, who at entry time, had eight wins from 73 starts this year.

A 3-year-old filly by Connect out of the Harlan’s Holiday mare Foul Play, The Alys Look, who shipped into Santa Anita on May 24, had her final Summertime breeze at Keeneland on May 19, going a half mile in 48.80.

An ungraded stakes winner going a mile and 70 yards at Fairgrounds in New Orleans three starts back on Jan. 21, The Alys Look was subsequently third, beaten seven lengths in the Grade II Fairgrounds Oaks at a mile and one sixteenth March 25. Off at 30-1 in the Kentucky Oaks, she kept to her task to secure third money under Javier Castellano.

With Mike Smith engaged to ride on Saturday, The Alys Look approaches the Summertime Oaks with earnings of $304,278 from an overall race record of 7-2-1-3.
