Santa Anita: How to bet the 2022 Sensational Star Stakes

Eight turf sprinters will run 6 1/2 furlongs down the hill at Santa Anita in Sunday’s $100,000 Sensational Star S. The grassy dash lacks a standout and could go to any of the contenders signed on for the tilt. I expect the pace to be wicked early on and #1 Indian Peak will benefit most of all in the field for conditioner Ruben Alvarado. John Velazquez picks up the ride atop the five-year-old and will take him back early.
