NOTES FROM THE UNDERGOUND

SUGARINTHEMORNING

Saturday has two Grade 2 stakes, the Strub and the Arcadia... The Robert B.Lewis is the exciting field of three year olds, including Sky Kingdom and Liaison...

Strub Day.....one of the best racing cards of this year. Previous runnings of the Strub Stakes that have won..... Affirmed, Spectacular Bid, Alysheba, Snow Chief, Silver Charm, Best Pal, Precisionist and Rock Hard Ten......who´s who of horse racing!

Sunday features the Grade 2 San Antonio.......... which brings back Game On Dude...who finished second in the voting for older males.

In the Santa Monica Grade 1 Rosario put together a hell of a ride getting Home Sweet Aspen up in time to win...... love the Candy Ride daughter.

In the Santa Ysabel.... Willa B. Awesome never looked back..... sped to the front... I knew she was the only pure speed of the race..... did not bet how I looked at the pace...... Bad bet...

Speaking of bad bets.... I had a horrible week except Saturday..... It was not the easiest week for the bettors....before Sunday when chalk Charlie won......just six favorites won.....It was one of those weeks.....

I was using a new program and will go back to word....where I never have a problem...
This was not the easiest week for the bettors, as just six favorites won from Thursday through

 MISS RADIANCE was professional in victory on this day, splitting horses in early stretch and grinding out a solid victory in this spot for trainer Mike Puype. The filly is clearly better on the dirt and could have a stakes engagement in the near future.

PALIO PRINCE was a good second in this spot and continues to hold consistent form for trainer Alexis Barba. The gelded four-year-old fits well at this level, and would be even more dangerous with a slight drop in class.

CAPITAL ACCOUNT left little doubt in this fine tally for trainer Bob Baffert, rolling home a big winner in a wicked 1:13 2/5 for 6 1/2 furlongs. The lightly raced five-year-old son of Closing Argument could become a fine sprinter if he can stay on the racetrack.

 HOLLADAY ROAD notched his first win and continues to impress for trainer Julio Canani. The seven-year-old gelding had missed a lot of time but has really gotten back into excellent form.

CHARM THE CROWD was a very nice second in this spot, and although we thought so leading up to this, we believe this one is sitting on a win for conditioner Doug O'Neill, who has been hot recently.

 MEGA HEAT came off the shelf to take this race for conditioner Peter Eurton and we've really learned to admire this capable five-year-old. The California-bred will likely be back in a stakes race in his return.

STIRRED UP was visually impressive in putting in a big closing kick to be second at first asking in this one for trainer Bob Baffert. The sophomore son of Lemon Drop Kid is bred to run much longer than this and should only improvement as the distances increase. We consider the colt to be one to surely keep an eye on as the 2012 season progresses.
