We've had some good luck with this filly, as she's gone 2-for-2 since appearing on my Horses to Watch list.
She's listed @ 8/1 today, with Bejarano seemingly getting off the morning-line favorite Lethal Heat in order to ride, so i wanted to give you guys a heads-up.

Santa Anita - Race 8
#5 Royal Taat (8/1 ml)
Up-and-comer from the Doubledown Stables outfit needs no further introduction on this site, as we've been on her in all three American starts. Makes the big jump to graded stakes company here, but she certainly doesn't lack for talent, and she's already proven that she likes the hill. In fact, note that Bejarano (who was aboard Royal Taat for that downhill win) has seemingly abandoned the 7/2 ml favorite Lethal Heat in order to ride Royal Taat. Can't pass up this kind of price on such a strong filly, particularly considering Doubledown's record of stakes success with these New Zealand imports.
