A daughter of Gun Runner won the $100,000 Las Virgenes Stakes at Santa Anita going one mile on the dirt Sunday, but it wasn't the one everyone expected. Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners maiden winner Meaning (f, 3, Gun Runner–Figure of Speech, by Into Mischief), fourth behind Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly Super Corredora (Gun Runner) in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, bested not only Super Corredora, but also GII Oak Leaf Stakes winner and Juvenile Fillies runner-up Explora (Blame), the lone 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' in the field, Sunday. “This is a filly we thought highly of from day one,” said Eclipse Thoroughbred's Aron Wellman after the Las Virgenes. When the gates flew, Super Corredora was ridden hard from the outside to secure the front as Explora found herself in tight along the rail. Both wanted the lead, but it was Explora who got her neck in front at the :22.57 first split while Meaning bided her time serving as caboose of the four-horse field. Meaning joined the top two on the outside after the :45.98 half, with Super Corredora the first to throw in the towel as the trio exited the turn. Meaning and Explora laid it down in the lane in a heated battle, but it was Meaning, despite slow to swap to her proper lead, who got up in the final strides to win by a length. She got the mile in 1:39.39. Explora held for second, while maiden winner Bank Shot (Game Winner) finished third.

Rolling like an express train late, Yellow Card (Lost Treasure {Ire}) gave his connections an emotional victory to kick off his 2026 campaign in the Clocker's Corner Stakes. A runner-up in the GII Eddie D Stakes three back Sept. 27 at this venue, the Michael McCarthy trainee missed the board in his last two jumps for that season–namely, the Stormy Liberal Stakes at Del Mar where he ran fifth and last out Dec. 29 when he finished sixth in the GII Joe Hernandez Stakes. Sent off here at 3-1 odds, he caboosed the field as the frontrunners posted an opening split in :21.71 and four furlongs in :44.03 under constant pressure. Yellow Card, who had been crowded to the back earlier, took the overland route coming into the bend and was asked to close from widest of all as they swung into the lane. In front of him, Virat (Bayern) was trying to fend off challengers, but the pack overtook him by midstretch with Yellow Card and Sorrento Sky (Ire) (Prince of Lir {Ire}) coming best of all. Inhaling that competition, the eventual winner cleared off from the runner-up to win by 1 1/2 lengths. Virat managed to hold on to third.     CLOCKER'S CORNER S., $101,000, Santa Anita, 2-8, (C), 4yo/up, 6fT, 1:08.05, fm. 1–YELLOW CARD, 122, h, 5, Lost Treasure (Ire)–Paris Girl, by Pulpit.
