Society Hostess in Wishing Well Tomorrow at Santa Anita

Society Hostess schooling at Santa Anita 1/28/09.

I've been watching Society Hostess school this week for trainer Christophe Clement (assistant trainer Nicholas Bachalard) at Santa Anita. The winner of the Grade 3 Monrovia Handicap at Santa Anita in 2007, Society Hostess ran second in last year's Monrovia and 7th to Jibboom in this year's running.

Society Hostess has been facing some top class runners in her last few starts, including Dearest Trickski, Intangaroo, and Lethal Heat. She faces a field of 9 other very nice fillies and mares in Saturday's $70,000 Wishing Well Handicap at Santa Anita, at about 6-1/2 furlongs on the downhill turf course. Here's how the field lines up:
