Cheyenne Stables LLC's Light the City (Street Sense) gets the morning-line nod in an evenly-matched field of newly-minted sophomore fillies set to line up for today's 6 1/2-furlong GII Santa Ynez S. at Santa Anita. The Jerry Hollendorfer pupil donned cap and gown in her career bow over the Del Mar synthetic Aug. 24 and followed suit with a win over stablemate Seduire (Elusive Quality) when trying dirt for the first time in this venue's Anoakia S. Oct. 12. The bay was forced to settle for third last time after setting the early pace when returned to the Del Mar synthetic for the seven-panel Desi Arnaz S. Nov. 16. A debut winner here May 22, Regis Racing's Seduire was second to “TDN Rising Star”Enchanting Lady (Tale of the Cat) in this track's Landaluce S. June 22 and captured the Wine Country S. next out at Santa Rosa Aug. 8. Fifth behind subsequent GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf runner-up Sunset Glow (Exchange Rate) in the GI Del Mar Debutante S. over the Polytrack Aug. 30, the gray rebounded to be second in the Anoakia and won the Golden Gate Debutante S. going six furlongs over the Tapeta last time Nov. 29. Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, who won this race last year with “TDN Rising Star” Awesome Baby (Awesome Again), sends out Spendthrift Farm's $375,000 FTSAUG purchase Callback (Street Sense). Fading to ninth behind Lady Lake (Wildcat Heir) after a wide trip in her Arcadia unveiling Nov. 2, the bay earned her diploma last time going 5 1/2 furlongs at Los Alamitos Dec. 4. Trained by Jeff Mullins Dr. Devi and Dr. K. K. Jayaraman's Lady Lake makes her first start here since that front-running debut victory and will get a class test against these more experienced foes. Conquest Stables LLC's Conquest Harlanate (Harlan's Holiday) makes her sixth start here and already owns two black-type victories. Third on debut over the synthetic at Woodbine July 12, the Mark Casse trainee earned her diploma next out over that venue's turf course Aug. 3 and captured the grassy GII Natalma S. there Sept. 13. Returning to the synthetic for Woodbine's GIII Mazarine S. Oct. 5, the bay proved second time's a charm with a decisive victory and was a non-factor 11th after a wide trip last time here in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Oct. 31. Hall of Famer Mike Smith takes over for regular pilot Patrick Husbands in Conquest Harlanate's dirt debut.
