Santa Anita
Race 7
The Joe Hernandez stakes is a Grade II event that’s run-on grass at 6.5 furlongs. Top choice is No. 8 Chaos Theory. He’s done little wrong this year and should love the added furlong. Top turf rider Umberto Rispoli stays as his regular rider. No. 7 Wildman Jack has kept the best company and owns the field’s best figures. He’ll be tough, but may not offer much value on top. No. 4 Hembree is a vintage Peter Miller move. Claimed and entered into a turf sprint.
