Over at Picks and Ponderings, we once again venture west to Santa Anita for Saturday’s graded stakes action.

I preview the San Gabriel (GII), a well-subscribed turf route for the four-and-up set.  Paul Mazur looks at the other two stakes: the Sham (GIII) for sophomores ready to take the year’s first step onto the Derby trail, as well as the Las Cienegas (GIII), a downhill sprint for older fillies and mares.

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read our preview of Santa Anita’s Saturday stakes action, and let us know in the comments what you think!
