Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 30, 2024 Journalists Posted September 30, 2024 Looking every bit the speed ball-type it was Straight No Chaser (Speightster–Margarita Friday, by Johannesburg) who took home the GII Santa Anita Sprint Championship on Sunday afternoon at the 'Great RIP'. The now-5-year-old had not visited a winner's circle since 2023 when he ran away with the GIII Maryland Sprint Stakes on the Preakness undercard. Transferred to Juan Landeros's care, Straight No Chaser ran fourth in his lone start this year, which was the GIII Runhappy Stakes during the Belmont at the Big A meet May 11. Back in action for Dan Blacker here, the 3-2 choice here got to the lead and never looked back as he scored by multiple lengths in the end. Roll On Big Joe (Prospective) was second. The final running time was 1:08.54. Lifetime Record: 9-5-0-1. Sales History: EASMAY '21 $110,000.
