To see the full thoughts from this blog on the Grade 2 San Fernando Stakes, please visit the Thorofan's Handicappers Corner, where this blogger goes over whether or not Tapizar can get an easy enough lead to take this field gate-to-wire. (Short version: The answer is "No".)
But before you go, take a look at what may become a new feature on this blog. Below are videos of the some of the contenders for this weekend's stakes action return to the barn after spending time schooling on Thursday (1/12). The first is of Tapizar, the second is of the Baffert-trained trio Prayer For Relief (San Fernando S.), Ellafitz (Paseana S.) and Candrea (Santa Ynez S.). Good luck this weekend folks.

This is the race that will ascertain whether Tapizar will deliver on the divisional dominance I thought he would assert a year ago. The BC Dirt Mile was encouraging considering he was rank on the backstretch, encountered a white hot pace, and the track played opposite of his running style. Today he drops through the floor in class and gets a track that rewards his style.
