Trainer Greg Gilchrist clocks a worker at Golden Gate Fields.One of my favorite trainers is bringing one of my favorite runners to Santa Anita on opening weekend. Leading West Coast conditioner Greg Gilchrist ships his good 3-year-old filly Indyanne down from Golden Gate for the Grade 1 La Brea Stakes on Saturday -- the filly version of opening day's Malibu Stakes. I had a chance to see Indyanne walking in the shedrow at Gilchrist's barn last weekend when I visited Golden Gate, and she looked absolutely gorgeous!
Indyanne, owned by John Sikura, has won 5 of 7 starts and has never finished worse than second. Her stakes victories include the Azalea at Calder and the TCA at Keeneland. She is one of two daughters of Indian Charlie in the La Brea, the other being multiple Grade 1 winner Indian Blessing, trained by Bob Baffert.

It will be interesting, as I think Indyanne has very little chance in this race because of the nature of the track... As a big Indian Blessing fan, I really hope that Indyanne's presence allows the former to take advantage of the closer-bias (despite how 'fair' they say it is) and go out 2008 a winner after a tough year.
