Sunday's Best Bet: Warren's Showtime springs into action in Wilshire
Sunday's 9th race from Santa Anita Park is the Grade 3, $100,000 Wilshire Stakes for fillies and mares traveling one mile on the turf course (Post Time 8:28 p.m. ET).
#5 WARREN'S SHOWTIME (5-2) always finishes in the top three at Santa Anita and this race might set up for her. She stumbled at the start and was getting to #6 Leggs Galore (3-1) in the Fran’s Valentine Stakes last time, and she can turn the tables on that rival if she gets pace help.
#7 Stela Star (4-1) makes her first start since May 2020 for John Sadler. She won her final two starts in Ireland in 2019 and rallied for the place in both local stakes routes last year. Flavien Prat rides back and she could easily run past them all.
