Eblouissante, a half-sister to 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta, is scheduled to make the second start of her career in a 1 1/16th miles allowance optional claiming race at Santa Anita Park on January 17th.
The daughter of Bernardini out of Vertigineux broke her maiden in spectacular fashion on November 16th at Betfair Hollywood Park, but was subsequently scratched from an allowance race on December 15th after banging her hip in the receiving barn prior to the race.
Trained by John Shirreffs, Eblouissante is expected to be heavily favored in Thursday's race, where she will face just four rivals. Her primary opposition is expected to come from Viva Carina, who placed second in the Torrey Pine Stakes and fourth in the Autumn Miss Stakes (gr. III) last year.
Corey Nakatani will ride Eblouissante.
