Santa Anita Handicap

Defending champion Game On Dude has been assigned top weight of 123 pounds for the $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap next Saturday.
The winner of the Grade 2 San Antonio Stakes on Feb. 5 in his 2012 debut, Game On Dude will spot his rivals from three to 13 pounds, although that margin could be narrowed if some riders are unable to make lower weight assignments.
The 123-pound assignment is eight pounds higher than what Game On Dude carried in the 2011 running of the Big Cap. The last time Game On Dude ran in a handicap, in the Hollywood Gold Cup last July, he carried 118 pounds. He finished second by a nose in that race to stablemate First Dude, who has since been retired.
