Last year's Breeder's Cup Juvenile Filly champion Stardom Bound is entered in the Santa Anita Oaks for Saturday. I'm going to save my breath in handicapping this race, and just tell you to bet her.
This filly is a monster. She's won four consecutive graded stakes, and is in against a field that doesn't appear to have her class. IEAH Stables has said that if she runs well here, she could make her next start in the Santa Anita Derby against the boys. Personally, I don't think she'll have any trouble here, and I'm really excited to see her run against the fellas.
Obviously, a good run in the Santa Anita Derby would give her the envious task of choosing between the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks starts.
Either way, Stardom Bound, along with Evita Argentina, are two fillies that really have some promise. Look for them to make more noise as the spring progresses.

STARDOM BOUND is the most compelling potential Kentucky Derby horse starting this weekend. She should move forward off her return. However, there's a lingering feeling that she was so fresh early because she is brewing an injury. At times, a classy horse will try to get the race over with quickly by showing uncharacteristic speed and then fade. SB went on to win, but she made it look like hard work.
