MemoriaL Day at Santa Anita

There are 3 Grade 1 races for our attention.

The first of these is the Shoemaker Mile over the turf with 11 runners and one we like Hong Kong Harry on top here on 7/2, one of three runners from Phil d'Amato's yard.  Flavian Prat has the ride.  Gold Phoenix will be ridden by star Japanese-residing in Canada jockey Kazushi Kimura and they are on 4/1 with the third d'Amato Bainikhov on 5/1 with Rispoli riding.

The Gamely is for f&m on turf and has 7 ruuners with Queen Goddess on 9/5 and one we like Macadamia, a Brazillian-bred daughter of Japanese sire Hat Trick on 5/1 and Brazillian jockey T J Pereira on board.

The Gold Cup is over 2000m with a field of 6 and our old friend Country Grammer is on 8/5 from the Baffert barn with Prat riding.  Defunded is on 4/5 but we are not sure if that is the correct quote, with J-J Hernandez riding.
