HOLLYWOOD PARK REPORT

Grade 2-winning sprinter SAINT ANDDAN (A.P. Indy) got off the mark at stud on Sunday when his juvenile daughter Woebegon captured the 9TH race at Hollywood Park. With Martin Pedroza aboard, the Jay Em Ess Stable colorbearer led all the way home to score by 3 1/4 lengths. Trained by Peter Miller, the bay lass completed five furlongs on the Cushion Track in :57 3/5.

Saint Anddan, a $1.85 million yearling purchase at Keeneland September, broke his maiden second time out for the late Hall of Famer Bobby Frankel. The lightly-raced bay reached his peak as a five-year-old in 2007, when he scored his signature win in the Churchill Downs S. (G2). That season he also captured the Duncan F. Kenner S. and finished third in the Phoenix S. (G3), ultimately retiring with a record of 16-5-4-2, $423,170.

Saint Anddan was produced by the stakes-placed Adoradancer (Danzig Connection), herself a full sister to the Grade 2-placed Rare Opportunity, the dam of Grade 2 heroine Street Sounds (Street Cry [Ire]) and Grade 3-placed Canadian stakes winner Silver Highlight (Silver Charm). Adoradancer is a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Luftikus (Conquistador Cielo), multiple Group 3-placed French stakes queen Sensitivity (Blushing John) and Grade 3-placed multiple stakes victress Diversa (Tabasco Cat).

Saint Anddan's third dam is multiple Grade 1-winning millionaire Sabin (Lyphard), whose other descendants include Grade 3 scorers Dilemma (Grand Slam) and Heavenly Ransom (Red Ransom) and multiple Group 1-placed German stakes victor Poseidon Adventure (Sadler's Wells).

The nine-year-old Saint Anddan stands at Journeyman Stud near Ocala, Florida, for $4,500, live foal.

At Hollywood Park on Sunday, Alysheba S. (G3) hero FIRST DUDE (Stephen Got Even) and Santa Anita H. (G1) victor GAME ON DUDE (Awesome Again) each worked six furlongs on the Cushion Track as they continue gearing up for the July 9 Hollywood Gold Cup (G1).

"Both 'Dudes' are going to run in the Gold Cup," trainer Bob Baffert said.
