Saturday's 5th race from Santa Anita Park (1-6-18) is the Grade 3 Sham Stakes for 3-year-olds traveling one mile on the main track.
#5 SHIVERMETIMBERS (7-2) is slowly improving for Hollendorfer and he has been targeting this race since his game maiden win over next out winner Peace at this distance Nov 23.
#6 McKinzie (3-5) dusted Shivermetimbers in his local extended sprint bow Oct 28 and was placed first in the G1 Los Al Futurity Dec 9. He removes blinkers and projects a stalking trip under Smith.
#4 Mourinho (4-1) adds blinkers, stretches out, and looms the target. (NOTE: Mourhinho was a race day scratch.)
#1 My Boy Jack (12-1) is a surface switching late threat for Team Desormeaux. He needs a pace meltdown.
