California-Breds in spotlight next week-end at Santa Anita

At 11h07, on October 11, 2023 • By SANTA ANITA

After a furious opening two weeks of the Santa Anita Autumn Meet, which included 16 stakes races, California-breds will get their turn in the spotlight next weekend at The Great Race Place.

The first two statebred stakes of the meet are on top with the California Distaff for fillies and mares on the downhill turf course on Saturday and the California Flag for 3-year-olds and up, also on the hillside turf course, on Sunday.

The California Flag is expected to include the popular Cal-bred Brickyard Ride. Trained by Craig Lewis, Brickyard Ride has won 13 times in 28 starts and has banked $865,477 for owner Alfred Pais. Brickyard Ride is a 6-year-old full horse by Clubhouse Ride.

With Santa Anita hosting a special holiday card on Monday, there will be no live racing this Friday.
