Obviously and Mr. Commons, separated by a nose in last month's Del Mar Mile (gr. II), will get a rematch on Saturday in the $150,000 Arroyo Seco Mile Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita Park.
The one-mile turf race is a local prep for the $2,000,000 Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. I), which will be held at Santa Anita on November 3rd. Both Obviously and Mr. Commons are pointing toward the Breeders' Cup, and would be legitimate contenders there so long as they perform to expectations on Saturday.
Japanese group II winner Trailblazer, prepping for a start in the Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. I), is an intriguing entrant, and will be ridden by the top Japanese jockey Yutaka Take. Graded stakes winners Kettle Corn and Midnight Interlude round out the field.
| PP | Horse | Weight | Jockey | Trainer |

| 2 | Trailblazer | 121 | Yutaka Take | Y. Ikee |
| 3 | Obviously | 124 | Joe Talamo | Mike Mitchell |
