Eastern Invader Sharing Heads Field Of 10 Sophomore Fillies In Saturday's Grade I, $300,000 American Oaks At 1 ¼ Miles On Turf

Trainer Graham Motion's Sharing is the filly to beat in Saturday's Grade I, $300,000 American Oaks at Santa Anita Park. Originally run at Hollywood Park in 2002 and transferred to Santa Anita in 2014, the Oaks, the final Grade I event of the year for 3-year-old fillies, has attracted a field of 10 and will be run for the 19th time on Saturday, opening day of Santa Anita's Winter/Spring meeting.

A winner over the course in the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at one mile on Nov. 1, 2019, Sharing, a Maryland-bred daughter of Speightstown, who is owned by Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Gainesway Stable, will be trying a mile and one quarter for the first time as she seeks her sixth win from nine career starts.

Eclipse Thoroughbred will also be well represented by the Paddy Gallagher-trained Red Lark, who comes off a close fourth place finish in the Grade I Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Keeneland Oct. 10 and who won the Grade I Del Mar Oaks on Aug. 22.

Eastern-based Chad Brown looms dangerous with English-bred Capital Structure, who although she'll be making her stakes debut in the Oaks, exits a solid allowance win going 1 1/16 miles on turf at Belmont Park Oct. 25 and rates a big look with Joel Rosario aboard in what will be her fourth career start.
