THERE is top-class action in America this weekend with three Grade 1 races spread across Santa Anita and Belmont Park on Saturday night.

Santa Anita plays host to the Santa Anita Derby (12:09am) and Hollywood Gold Cup (1:12am). The former, a well established Kentucky Derby trial, features a short-priced favourite in the shape of the Bob Baffert-trained Authentic. The Into Mischief colt was a comfortable winner in the Grade 2 San Felipe Stakes at the course last time when he had Honor A. P., who reopposes, held in second.
