"HRH Toteboard For The Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby (6th Race At Santa Anita Park, Saturday, April 5, 2008)"

Inaugurated in 1935, the Santa Anita Derby is considered the most important West Coast stepping-stone to the Kentucky Derby.  Since its inception, six Santa Anita Derby winners have gone on to win the Kentucky Derby, but it hasn't happened since 1989 (Sunday Silence).  Another era begins in 2008 with the first ever Santa Anita Derby run over a synthetic track (Cushion Track).  The $750,000 graded stakes takes place Saturday afternoon at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California.
 
Today we handicap the $750,000 Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby for 3-year-olds to be contested at 1 1/8 miles over the Santa Anita main (Cushion Track) course.  The Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby is the 6th race on the card at Santa Anita Park.  Saturday's race is off at 5:30 p.m. EDT (4:30 p.m. CDT, 2:30 p.m. PDT).
