Arcadia, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Eight three-year-olds get back into action
Saturday afternoon in the $200,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita Park.
The 1 1/16-mile race is an important prep for the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby
on April 7.
Breaking from the inside post is Isn't He Clever, winner of the Riley Allison
Futurity at Sunland Park on December 30. Trained by Henry Dominguez, the
gelding will be ridden by Corey Nakatani in his 2012 debut.
Isn't He Clever, owned by J. Kirk and Judy Robison, won the Futurity by more
then 11-lengths as the even-money favorite. Previously, he was second in the
Clever Trevor Stakes at Remington Park last November. The son of Smarty Jones
has earned $113,960 with three wins in four starts.
At the other end of the field will be Chips All In and jockey Alonso Quinonez.
Trained by Jeff Mullins, the colt is owned by the partnership of Gene Everest,
John O'Brien and Daniel Valdez.
Chips All In is coming into his three-year-old debut off a victory at 11-1 in
the Eddie Logan Stakes on the grass. The Lewis will only be his second start
on real dirt with three earlier races on synthetic surfaces.
At Golden Gate the colt was second in the Golden Nugget Stakes for his lone
loss in five starts. He won the Gold Rush Futurity at Arapahoe Park in
Colorado last August. Chips All In has banked $149,800.
Here is the complete field for the Robert B. Lewis in post position order:
Isn't He Clever, Corey Nakatani; Liaison, Rafael Bejarano; Groovin' Solo,
Victor Espinoza; I'll Have Another, Mario Gutierrez; Sky Kingdom, Martin
Garcia; Rousing Sermon, Joe Talamo; Empire Way, Joel Rosario and Chips All In,
