Zensational
His pace figure will come back sky high anyway.

I just went over my charts for Santa Anita and have the pace figue 51 points faster than the winners final time figure.
Conservatively, this race could wind up with something like a 126 pace and 75 final! . and my pace call is 6fs and not 4fs .. where the number would figure to have been even faster. In hindsight, the 2/1 second choice in the race was obviously laying way too close when he was 2nd by 10 lengths to Zensational - while 8 lengths clear of the horse racing 3rd.

On Wednesday, Baffert was wondering whether he had "slowed him up too much."

Zensational and Gomez don't seem to have the greatest chemistry either.
This was a little surprising because the gallop out was so strong in the previous.

They said he somehow was ahead again in the gallop out in this one. Was this the 2nd race off a layoff? If so, for a young horse out here, this is unfortunately the norm (the 2nd race of career, or 2nd off a layoff, is often a brutal one.) I don't know about the rest of the country, but out here it's really common. Actually, I think it's more common out here than it used to be. Seems like O'neil tried to avoid that with a maiden yesterday(gave it like 6-7 weeks to recover from the promising first effort.) I think it still didn't help (couldn't repeat the good first effort.) Not saying (for sure) that's what happened to Zensational. The distance change is primary.
