Santa Ana Lane

Very promising 3YO gelding from the Freedman stable

He has a devastating finish on him. Quite brilliant really.

IMO this horse is going places.

Probably unbackable today in the last at Geelong but have a squiz lads, good horse to follow.

Where would we be without the Shuttle stallions ?

Is it just me, or does every horse that shows a glimpse of ability gets its own thread now? Few guys on here trying to find the next champion, someone will eventually, having lots of shots at the stumps!

I own part of the top weight so I hope we can beat this horse

3 and 4 wide the entire trip and put paid to them like a good thing. bright future ahead.

If he was beaten I'm sure B.Melham wouldn't have been a part of the ride going forward Shocked

Good win nevertheless, 2/2 now. Better things ahead

Has drifted to $18 for the guineas.

Not sure why he won at Geelong like a true pro 3 wide all the way.

I noticed Snoopy improved vastly or peaked if you like at his third run from a spell. Looked a different horse to me in the listed at Flemington from his Ballarat run.

If this bloke follows that pattern I think he is in the top 5 with a winning chance.

Interesting!

Maybe there is an inhouse plunge brewing.

Just noticed $4 Megabet price... What do peeps make of his chances???

The Mugg

Holler is the danger imo have backed him and saved on Santa.

Hope so mate.....I will be barracking for Santa even though Holler will be a better outcome.

Don't like the race. So many nicer bets on Saturday. Santa Ana Lane looks very talented but could just as easily suck us into the graveyard like many hot pots who make a quantum leap in class and fail. He has skipped many grades to be here, albeit he hasn't found the hardest stakes race in the world here.

Sunline...simply supreme

Happy to see all the love for Takedown..

Track bias will play a part

What are people's thoughts on which races he may line up in going forward.

Are there any suitable G1's for him this prep, surely he deserves a crack at a
group 1 after winning a G3 first up over a shorter trip given he should improve over
more ground?
