SANTA ANITA
RACE 3
NO. 8 WILD AT HEART: First time starter for trainer Richard Mandella was well bet even with the 80 cents odds-on runner in the race. She broke in a bit at the start and went outside a rival on the backstretch. Made a nice late run but had no shot at running down the odds-on winner. Did finish second more than 9 lengths clear of the rest. Single next time out.
