TRIPLE CROWN COUNTDOWN -- February 19th, 2012

This day of racing is one that I have been anticipating for weeks. While there certainly isn't much scheduled in the way of major races, there is, however, one stakes event that every horse racing fan will have their eyes on. That race is the $150,000 San Vicente Stakes (gr. II) at Santa Anita Park, and while it may have drawn a small field, it is certainly not low on talent. It is in this race that my current pick to win the Kentucky Derby -- Creative Cause -- shall make his much-anticipated and long awaited 2012 debut.

San Vicente Stakes Entries and Post Positions

Here are the entries and post positions for the $150,000 San Vicente Stakes (gr. II), to be run on Sunday at Santa Anita Park. A major prep race for the $2,000,000 Kentucky Derby (gr. I), the event has drawn a very promising runner in Creative Cause, winner of the Norfolk Stakes (gr. I) as a juvenile and one of the early favorites for the Derby.
