Nine California-bred two-year-old fillies, all of them winners of at least one race in their brief careers, will match strides Wednesday in the 64th running of the $100,000 C.T.B.A. Stakes at five and one-half furlongs.

Gorgeous Ginny, to be piloted by Jamie Theriot, comes into the C.T.B.A. Stakes from a second versus open company in the Landaluce at Santa Anita, beaten eight lengths by Surrender Now as the 8-5 favorite.
Others in the line-up Wednesday are Mama’s Kid, Juan Ochoa; Empress of Lov, Tyler Baze; Estherfourfourteen, Mario Gutierrez; Show I N Moe It, Evin Roman; Spiced Perfection, Joe Talamo; Meet My Kitty, Vinnie Bednar, and Family Girl, Rafael Bejarano.
