Ortega's horse Return of the King returns to track this p.m.
Return of the King, the JJO Stables horse owned by Joseph and James Ortega, runs the second race at Santa Anita this afternoon. Post time is about 1:30 p.m.
Here's today's program. Return of the King is the 5/2 morning line favorite.
The Ortegas were among nine people slain in Covina on Christmas Eve by Bruce Pardo. All the slain were members of the same family and relatives of Pardo's estranged wife Sylvia.
As for the race, its a 6 furlong claimer, with prices between $40,000 and $35,000. -- which means the horse is for sale and could be claimed by another owner this afternoon.
Martin Pedroza will ride. The consensus of handicappers working for the SGVN predicts Return of the King will find the winner's circle.
