Fighting Mad Will Try To Go All The Way In Contentious Edition Of La Cañada Sponsored by:
Fighting Mad went to the front at the start and was never headed in the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes
Idle since third as the odds-on favorite in the Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes on Sept. 27, Bob Baffert s speedy Fighting Mad heads a field of seven older fillies and mares going a mile and one sixteenth in Saturday s G3, $200,000 La Cañada Stakes at Santa Anita.
While Fighting Mad will hope to control the early pace, the John Shirreffs-trained Hard Not to Love, a G1 winner who was second in the Zenyatta, figures to stalk the pace with Ricky Gonzalez aboard for the first time and could prove dangerous late.
