HAVANNA BELLE SEEKS DISTANCE REPEAT IN SAN LUIS REY

Havanna Belle takes on male rivals in Sunday’s Grade II San Luis Rey Stakes at a mile and a half on turf. Jockey Brice Blanc, who rode the Irish-bred filly to a 10-1 upset win by 2 ¼ lengths in the restricted Astra Stakes at the same distance on a “good” turf course Jan. 17, feels she’s up to the task.

“She ran awesome,” Blanc said of the bay filly trained by Phil D’Amato for owner Michael House. “The distance seemed to be a plus for her.

“I worked her last week, she worked great, so I’m looking for a similar effort. We just need the right trip. She’s doing good and I expect her to run as well as she did in the Astra.”

The lineup: Southern Freedom, Martin Garcia, 12-1; Quick Casablanca, Tyler Baze, 6-1; Power Foot, Gary Stevens, 8-1; Going Somewhere, Mike Smith, 5-1; Life’s Journey, Jose Verenzuela, 50-1; Energia Fribby, Drayden Van Dyke, 15-1; Havanna Belle, Brice Blanc, 6-1; Highball, Flavien Prat, 12-1; Generosidade, Tiago Pereira, 30-1; Gaga A, Mario Gutierrez, 4-1; Big John B, Rafael Bejarano,...

BIG ’CAP LEAD COULD BELONG TO DONWORTH

          On paper, there appears to be no clear cut pacesetter in Saturday’s $1 million Santa Anita Handicap presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.

But Doug O’Neill says if the lead is there for the taking, Donworth and his jockey, Mario Gutierrez, will be glad to accommodate his rivals.

“The great thing with him breaking from the three hole is at a mile and a quarter you’ve got plenty of run to the first turn,” O’Neill said of owner Paul and Zillah Reddam’s recent acquisition, who was third, beaten only a half-length, in the Feb. 6 San Antonio Stakes, Donworth’s first race in more than seven months.

“Hopefully he breaks well. Mario will put him in a good spot. If he’s the only one who wants the lead, so be it. Another horse would have to go out of his established running style to challenge us on the lead, the way it looks on paper.”

Richard Baltas, meanwhile, doesn’t expect Imperative to be too far back.

““We think we got an OK draw (eight) and...
