Coach Richard Baltas sends much-anticipated favorite MGSW Going to Vegas (Goldencents) at G2 Buena Vista S. on Saturday in Santa Anita. Last seen finishing 11th in a 12-horse field after setting the pace early in GI Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly And Mare Turf, Going to Vegas shook off the rust with a drill five-hair at 1:00 (2/20) Feb. 26. Flavien Prat, who won GII John C. Mabee S. on a 5-year-old mare last September, has a mount.

In order to win, she will have to be equal to the first Leggs Galore (Bayern), sent by Phil D’Amato, who was putting in a big push in the final hilltop win at Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Sprint S. She carried four pounds less than she did. Go Vegas and, with the highest speed numbers in the field, will almost certainly set the pace. She also gets the benefit of an inside spot, breaking from fifth place.

After them both will be the hybrid of George Krikorian Unusual Mucho (Mucho Macho Man) who, after a strong 2021 season, looks set to improve her second place in last year’s Buena Vista S. where she finished ahead of Going to Vegas but, at the age of six, she is now is the oldest mare in the field. She and Going to Vegas will both need to pass outside slots (Going to Vegas at 10, Mucho Extraordinary at number 11), but it takes class to do so.
