Collected and Cupid, a pair of Bob Baffert-trained runners who did their fair share of damage during their 3-year-old campaigns, will face each other and a unique field in the $200,000 Californian Stakes (G2) April 22 at Santa Anita Park.
Speedway Stable's Collected started his 4-year-old season in style April 1, when he bested former stablemate Dortmund to win the Santana Mile by 3 3/4 lengths at Santa Anita. In 2016, the son of City Zip won the Sham Stakes (G3), Sunland Park Festival of Racing Stakes, and Lexington Stakes (G3) before he ran 10th in the Preakness Stakes (G1).

Good to see Cupid return to the races. The Tapit colt showed some brilliance last year, along with some lackluster performances. It would be nice if he's matured into a consistently-brilliant older horse.
