Live coverage from the first day of action at Santa AnitaTalking Horses: Japan’s racing dreams can become reality
1. BIG EVS, 2. Valiant Force, 3. Starlust – it’s a 1-2-3 for Europe and a huge moment for Mick Appleby.
Big Evs is 5-2 favourite on the track tote, with No Nay Mets, Crimson Advocate and Slider also attracting plenty of money. Adian Murray’s Valiant Force, with William Buick in the plate, is an outsider for Kia Joorabchian’s Amo Racing operation, while the big miss in the field is Givemethebeatboys, who travelled over from Jessica Harrington’s stable in Ireland but was ruled out by an official panel of vets at the track this morning.
