Meaning (f, 3, Gun Runner–Figure of Speech, by Into Mischief), a Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners colorbearer, proved her win over Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly Super Corredora (Gun Runner) in the Las Virgenes Stakes Feb. 8 was no fluke and asserted herself as division leader in California with a resounding victory in the GII Santa Anita Oaks Saturday. The Santa Anita Oaks awards 100-50-25-15-10 qualifying points toward the May 1 GI Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs.The complexion of the Santa Anita Oaks changed shortly out of the gate when GIII Santa Ysabel Stakes winner and second choice Forced Entry (Charlatan), the lone graded winner in the field, was pulled up in the early going. French Blue (Gun Runner) sprinted to the front with Red Cherry (Rock Your World) keeping her company through :22.88 and :46.55 fractions as Meaning settled in fourth on the inside, about two lengths off the leader. Meaning, a $440,000 Keeneland September yearling, swung to the outside on the turn and hooked up with a determined Brooklyn Blonde (Gun Runner) down the lane, pulling clear in the late stages to secure the win, with Bank Shot (Game Winner) about a dozen lengths behind the top two in third.Meaning improves her record to three wins from four starts, having impressed enough in her Sep. 20 Los Alamitos debut to make a play for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. She finished fourth that day behind eventual champion Super Corredora, MGSW & MGISP Explora (Blame), and Percy's Bar (Upstart), who won the GI Central Bank Ashland Stakes Friday. It was her only career loss.Meaning | BenoitO-Bridlewood Farm and Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners; B-Stonehaven Steadings (Ky.); T-Michael McCarthy; J-Juan Hernandez.#5 MEANING ($3.80) punched herself a ticket to Kentucky as she charged home in the $200,000 Santa Anita Oaks (G2) with @JJHernandezS19 in the irons.
