2013 Robert B. Lewis Stakes Race Favorites

He's Had Enough - Doug O'Neill trained colt is currently in a log jam in the points standings with four points and needs a good result for comfort sake. He has five career starts with a win in his debut and a very nice second place finish two back in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile behind Shanghai Bobby - by a head. Last time out was a disappointing fifth in the Grade 1 CashCall Futurity December 15 at Hollywood Park against a very competitive field. He's Had Enough needs to ramp it up and will be looking for his first stakes win in the Robert B. Lewis this week - 10 points is on the line for Doug O'Neill who won this race last year with I'll Have Another.

Den's Legacy - Bob Baffert trained colt that was second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint Preview Stakes November 3. He followed that with an impressive win in the Grade 3 Generous Stakes on turf November 24. Last time out was a nice second in the Grade 3 Sham Stakes on dirt here January 5 after a decent third in the CashCall Futurity at Hollywood Park December 15. Den's Legacy looks good following back-to-back five furlong bullet workouts on Santa Anita's main track He has nine career starts with two wins, four seconds and a third place finish and enters the Robert B. Lewis as the most experienced of the entries, although he is known more for his work on grass.
