Santa Ynez Stakes, the Grade 2 event held each year at the Santa Anita Park for 3-year old fillies identifies the crème de la crème from the female lot each year to target for the remaining season. The race, run mid-January, at varying lengths of 6 furlongs, 6 ½ furlongs and 7 furlongs, provides the thoroughbreds with a synthetic dirt surface and a purse of $150,000.

Due to the race being conducted early each year, many potential fillies aim for graded stakes held a couple of months later into the season as this provides them with the maturation time, a much needed asset in order to let the endurance and stamina with age bloom. With maximum number of wins by a jockey on the stakes race looms at 7 by Bill Shoemaker, trainer Wayne D. Lukas leads the number of wins by a trainer with 5 horses. Indian Blessing, a Bob Baffert product, mounted by Garrett Gomez, recorded the fastest 7 furlongs in 2008 at 1:19.89.

This year however, the six and half furlongs recorded a winning time fo 1:15.25 by Reneesgotzip, by City Zip out of No Dress Code (by Distorted Humor), who was raced to victory by jockey Corey S. Nakatani. ...
... She is trained by Peter Miller and owned by the Lanni Family Trust. As a two year old, Reneesgotzip has started only once in a maiden special weight and finished first. Out of 2 starts, her score stands at 2-2, and earnings of almost $120,000, an impressive launch as a 3-year old. Setting the pace early and racing off the rail, Reneesgotzip, effortlessly kept the Bob Baffert starters, Candrea and Lady Hokulea well off the field. While James Kasparoff’s Made to Love Her stalked the pace inside out, she placed second only within 7 ¾ lengths of the race winner.

Trailing a length behind was the Steve Asmussen’s Painted Woman who finished third following a late overtake that left her with little ground to cover the lead. John Sadler’s Rowdy Gal finished fourth barely managing a faster pace than the race’s trailing contenders.
