Santa Anita
Race 5
No. 5 BIG BANE THEORY: First time starter was sent off as the slight favorite in this mile turf straight maiden race. Battled the entire mile, finishing third while stuck between foes down the lane. He lost by a neck in what was a big time effort. Will be a solid single next time out for trainer Carla Gaines. $$$
