WEST/RAGS TO RICHES HEAVILY FAVORED IN SANTA ANITA OAKS - Derrick Smith and Michael Tabor's Rags to Riches assumed the role of favorite for the $500,000-added Kentucky Oaks (Grade I) when she defeated a star-studded cast in her stakes debut in the Las Virgenes (GI) at Santa Anita. A strong effort in Sunday's $300,000 Santa Anita Oaks (GI) would likely make the 3-year-old daughter of A.P. Indy an overwhelming favorite to wear the lilies that will go to the winner of the 133rd running of the Kentucky Oaks on Friday, May 4.
