Thought Process, a 4-year-old filly by Collected, earned a career-best and field-high 90 Beyer Speed Figure when taking the one-mile Buena Vista by two lengths on Feb. 28 at Santa Anita. Trained by Phil D'Amato, Thought Process last year won the G2 San Clemente at Del Mar and as a 2-year-old took down both the G3 Surfer Girl at Santa Anita and Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf.

She sports a record of 9: 6-0-2 with $500,280 in earnings for owners Estate of Brereton C. Jones, Little Red Feather Racing and Madaket Stables. Thought Process will be ridden by Hector Berrios, who was also aboard in the Buena Vista.

Take A Breath prevailed in the one-mile Royal Heroine on April 25 by a half-length over May Day Ready, who also returns in the Gamely. Trained by Mark Glatt, Take A Breath six weeks earlier also prevailed the G3 Santa Ana at 1 ΒΌ miles on turf at Santa Anita.

Bred in England, where she began her career, Take A Breath is a 4-year-old filly by Bated Breath owned by Rancho Temescal Thoroughbred Partners and Chivalry Racing Thoroughbred. Regular rider Emisael Jaramillo has the call on Take A Breath.

Hang the Moon makes the cross-country trip from Florida for trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. but is well-acquainted with the Santa Anita turf course. Prior to selling for $625,000 at the Keeneland November sale and getting transferred to Joseph at the end of last year, Hang the Moon made nine starts in Southern California while trained by D'Amato.

She is 2-for-4 on the Santa Anita sod, which includes a win in the GII Rodeo Drive in 2024. Hang the Moon has made two starts for Joseph. She won a classified allowance in February at Gulfstream Park, then returned to be beaten a neck when second in the Sand Springs at 1 1/16 miles on turf at Gulfstream on March 28. Hang the Moon, a 6-year-old mare by Uncle Mo, will be ridden by Flavien Prat for the first time in the Gamely.
