Brad Free's Santa Anita Horses to Watch for week of April 18-20, 2025

ELTONSINGSANOTHER
Trainer: Mark Glatt
Last race: April 18, 2nd
Finish: 5th by 8 1/4
Beyer: 43
Starter-allowance mare lost footing and broke dead last, uncorked middle move wide through turn, loomed, went flat. Valid alibi, worth following in similar N2L starter.

TITANIC THOMPSON
Trainer: Steve Miyadi
Last race: April 19, 4th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/2
Beyer: 62
Second-start maiden improved over his debut. Popped gate, set pace, fought back, clear of third. Large gray handles turf or dirt, tough next out vs. Cal-bred maidens.

VINALIA
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: April 19, 10th
Finish: 6th by 3 1/4
Beyer: 61
Maiden filly was keen and hard-held in turf sprint. Steadied slightly into turn, wide on turn and into lane, then flat. Inconclusive, has more speed than allowed to show either start.

ENDLESSLY
Trainer: Michael McCarthy
Last race: April 20, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 3 1/4
Beyer: 87
Comebacker lagged near rear in slow-paced Grade 3 turf mile. Final quarter in 23.31 but race was dominated by two front-runners. Solid comeback for Endlessly, who can improve next out.
