A pair of $72,000 allowance races will highlight Thursday’s program. Race 6, for fillies and mares bred or sired in California, has attracted a field of seven at six furlongs on the main track.

Thursday’s seventh race, for older horses at 1 1/4 miles over the turf course, attracted a field of nine.

Santa Anita will conduct a four-day week, with live racing offered through Sunday.

Three graded stakes are on the weekend calendar: the Beholder Mile (G1) and San Carlos (G2) on Saturday and the Santa Ana (G3) on Sunday.
