SANTA ANITA
RACE 2
NO. 3 DARK ENERGY: Was steadied when Solis got him in tight early on the first turn. He came out, split horses in mid-stretch, but Solis checked off heels and that cost this one the race. He wins next out with a better trip going long on the grass. $$$
RACE 4
NO. 3 CANDY TALE: First time starter for trainer Kathy Walsh took plenty of action but was squeezed off at the start in this 5½ furlong sprint from the bad 2 post position. Came on late to be a clear third and will not be a maiden for long.
