Her previous two attempts at Santa Anita came against Breeders= Cup competition, capturing the 2014 GI Juvenile Fillies Turf and finishing a narrow second in last year=s GI Filly & Mare Turf. She kicked off her 5-year-old campaign with a narrow second after enduring a troubled trip in Keeneland=s GI Coolmore Jenny Wiley S. Apr. 15. Only five rivals will be standing in Lady Eli=s way, headed by last year=s GI Rodeo Drive S. heroine Avenge (War Front). The dark bay, third at 18-1 and beaten just a length when last seen in the Filly & Mare Turf, figures to have things her own way on the front end here.

While the bay recently returned from a lengthy layup with an uninspiring fourth-place try in Churchill=s GII Alysheba S. in the slop May 5, he could easily take a step forward putting blinkers back on in this return to Grade I company. American Freedom draws the rail here, presenting jockey Martin Garcia with an interesting decision regarding his use of the colt=s tactical speed. Meanwhile, Cupid (Tapit) also flashed significant talent at times last year for the Baffert barn, including three wire-to-wire wins at the Grade II level.

Sometimes we’re re- minded that newcomers to this country create not just a dream for themselves, but one for the country, the industry and the people they affect through the course of their new lives here. And so it is with Susan and Charlie Chu, and American horse racing. T.D. Thornton pro- files their story and contributions this month. Across the Atlantic, as the European racing season heats up, we’ll take you out dining to two U.K. hotspots: one a traditional Newmarket-area stalwart, and another a fresh London upstart.

ADMIRABLE OUTPOSTED FOR DERBY BID by Alan Carasso Admirable (Jpn) (Deep Impact {Jpn}) has done nothing wrong in running the table in three starts this season, but he=ll need to bring his very best to the table for Sunday=s G1 Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby) after drawing the widest barrier in the 18-strong field for the 2400-metre event. Well-beaten in a single appearance at two, the homebred colt graduated in his seasonal return at Hanshin in early March and has since won the Apr. 1 Azalea Sho and G2 Aoba Sho Apr. 29, defeating the reopposing Best Approach (GB) (New Approach {Ire}) (video). The latter two starts have come over the Derby distance, both as the odds-on favorite and each with the services of Mirco Demuro, who stays put Sunday afternoon. AThere is no change with him since his last race, and I=ve come to understand the horse well, which is good,@ the Italian commented. AOf course, it=s a tough race, but I=m looking forward to what he can do here.@

Rey de Oro (Jpn) (King Kamehameha {Jpn}) was one of the leaders of his generation last season, going three-for-three, including a victory in the G2 Hopeful S. (2000m) at Nakayama on Christmas Day (video). The Carrot Farm runner resumed in the Satsuki Sho, charging home from the tail of the field to finish fifth. He figures to improve for the extra 400m Sunday.
