Speed reigned in Santa Anita’s trio of graded races Saturday on both dirt and turf, beginning with promising sophomore Forbidden Kingdom in the $200,000 San Vicente (G2).

Sunday’s $301,000 Malibu (G1) was supposed to present Flightline with a class test, but the unbeaten colt was a class apart from the opposition at Santa Anita.

Undefeated Flightline has hinted of freakish talent in his two starts, and the John Sadler pupil hopes to confirm that impression as he takes on Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) near-misser Dr. Schivel in Sunday’s $300,000 Malibu S. (G1).

Trainer Brad Cox and jockey Joel Rosario combined to win three stakes at Remington Park Sunday, anchored by the $400,000 Oklahoma Derby (G3) with Warrant.

Proving just as tough to pass as he was in the Kentucky Derby (G1), 9-10 favorite Medina Spirit repelled Rock Your World to post a front-running victory in Sunday’s $100,500 Shared Belief S. at Del Mar.

As Medina Spirit awaits the adjudication of his first-past-the-post result in the Kentucky Derby (G1), the Bob Baffert trainee resumes his campaign in Sunday’s $100,000 Shared Belief S. at Del Mar.
