Spendthrift and MyRacehorse’s Lane Way looks to break his maiden today in the ninth at Santa Anita Park.  Well bred and well meant, he’s run a couple of speed figs in the 80s and 90s, so he should be a lock today, right.

Not so fast my friend.  Lane Way draws into a field that includes Bob Baffert’s American Code, a firster from American Pharoah/Harmony Lodge, who’s been well touted to date.

So here’s who Lane Way has caught.  In his debut – Nadal.  Race 2 – Charlatan  Race 3 – Shooters Shoot (who was second to Charlatan in the previous race) and now American Code.

Easy game, really  . . .
