Santa Anita Full Card Plays Available Now There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info. Find Out Why Attentive to the pace in his one mile turf debut July 30, Endlessly demonstrated an eye-catching turn of foot as he dispatched seven rival maidens by 2 ¼ lengths. Off at 5-2 at the same trip in a field of eight in the Del Mar Juvenile Turf Sept. 10, he again rallied impressively, winning by the same margin while earning a much-improved 72 Beyer Speed Figure. Trained by Michael McCarthy and bred in Kentucky by Mrs. Jerry Amerman, Endlessly is by the Kitten’s Joy stallion Oscar Performance and is out of the Langfuhr mare Dream Fuhrever. With leading man Juan Hernandez back aboard, Endlessly is the horse to beat in the Zuma Beach. McCarthy is holding a strong two-card hand on Sunday as he’ll also saddle first-out one mile maiden turf winner Formidable Man, who made the lead versus nine rivals and never looked back at 9-2 with Flavien Prat up on Sept. 10. With Umberto Rispoli taking over in the Zuma Beach, Formidable Man could be just that in his second career start. By hot sire Bolt d’Oro, Richard Mandella’s Boltage, third as the even money favorite to Endlessly in the Del Mar Juvenile Turf, rates a solid chance with Ramon Vazquez riding back. A 5 ¼ length one mile maiden turf winner when pressing the pace two starts back on Aug. 24, Boltage will be going a mile on grass for the third consecutive time in what will be his fourth overall start. Perhaps the biggest question mark in the race is Phil D’Amato’s French-bred Pour Dompter, who will be making his U.S debut with Hector Berrios aloft. With an all-turf French resume of 5-1-3-1, Pour Dompter, idle since a close second in a field of 10 going six furlongs on July 23, will stretch out to a route of ground for the first time but he’s well-seasoned, having faced 33 rivals in his five starts. Owned by J. Kelly, Pour Dompter has four recorded works with D’Amato—a three furlong move over Del Mar’s main track in 36.20 on Sept. 10 and three subsequent drills over Santa Anita’s inner training track: A half mile on Sept. 18 in 49.80 5 furlongs on Sept. 25 in 1:02.20 Another five eighths on Oct. 2 in 1:03.20 THE GRADE III ZUMA BEACH WITH JOCKEYS & WEIGHTS IN POST POSITION ORDERRace 6 of 10 | Approximate post time 3:30 p.m. PTMici’s Express – Tiago Pereira – 120 Ngannou – Antonio Fresu – 118 Endlessly – Juan Hernandez – 124 Pour Dompter – Hector Berrios – 120 Rothschild – Mike Smith – 120 Grand Mo the First – Emisael Jaramillo – 120 Ace of Clubs – Edwin Maldonado – 120 Formidable Man – Umberto Rispoli – 122 Boltage – Ramon Vazquez – 122 First post time for a 10-race card on Sunday is at 1 p.m. with admission gates opening at 11 a.m. Join the Inner Circle Sign up for exclusive 10% discount on orders, plus be the first to access our daily free and premium horse racing picks, articles, podcasts, and more!
