Santa Anita Handicap
The horse Skippylongstocking has been withdrawn from Saturday's Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap after encountering difficulties boarding a flight to California. Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. opted to remove the 7-year-old from the flight to avoid risks related to medication rules. This leaves a reduced field of six runners for the prestigious race.

The 7-year-old horse returns to California aiming to build on his strong form over 1 1/4 miles. Other contenders include Westwood, making his debut under a new trainer following a recent victory.
