Taiba looms a heavy favorite in Malibu; Midnight Memories leads La Brea cast

Taiba is the heavy favorite in the $300,000 Malibu at Santa Anita. Midnight Memories is a favorite for the La Brea. The race is for three-year-old fillies. The winner of the race will receive an Eclipse Award. Taiba finished third in last month's Breeders’ Cup Classic. He won the Pennsylvania Derby and Santa Monica Derby earlier this season. Epicenter, the presumptive favorite, suffered a career-ending injury at Keeneland. His stablemate Messier finished 15th in Kentucky Derby. Straight No Chaser, Perfect Flight and Apprehend are looking to upset.
