                 SANTA ANITA SATURDAY ANALYSIS


I hope you guys played the late pick four yesterday.... cost $18.00 and return $801.00.....or the pick three that paid $375.00.


RACE 1

Jack O Lyn looked good winning with Bejarano up.....Mullins has been hot at this meet.....takes a postive hike up in class.....Jack has won three of four.....the one to beat....Flower Power faced The Black in a starter allowance......got smoked pressing the pace facing winners for the first time.....expect much better at this level. Hadfunlastnight exits the race with Jack.....a player if he steps it up. Danger Ranger claimed by a sneaky old trainer looks very playable in this race because he gets back on the dirt where he runs solid off the pace style of running.

            1. Jack O Lyn
            2. Danger Ranger
            3. Flower Power

Pick Five  3 with 1,5,8 with 4 with 4,8 with 1,8,12 out



$20 place on 4




RACE 2

A tricky turf distance in this optional claimer on the turf. On paper, Gab Power looks like the logical choice....but as we have seen....on race day it does not always turns out that way. The pace looks slow except Danderek.....who I expect will be the rabbit in this race....He shortens up in distance. If he gets a easy slow lead.....might be hard to collar down the lane. Smokin Cat had a trouble start last time out the race with Gab Power.....looks to turn the tables on him today. Shug had to need last start.......expect that he might just press the pace.....with Danderek.....Erbeia lost to Porfido....he shortens up in distance.....a player as well.....Oilsblackgold I have lost more money on this under-achiever then I want to tell you....I was really impressed with his maiden race at Fairplex Park.... has been a total bomb...but since Iám not picking him.... go figure and he just might run a big one!

            1. Smug
            2. Gab Power
            3. Smokin Cat

$20 across the board on Smug 8


           



RACE 3

One mile maiden for three year olds for the claiming price of 30 G´s. Midnight Con exits some highly regarded maiden races beating War Politics......who came back last year and won ......Congrats Ski came back and broke his maiden with better.....He stretches out to two turns and this drop in class will only help his chances to break his maiden... Marty Jones sends out Rude Bobby......clocker´like this one.....they said he looks fitter after running his route race.... Jay´s Firetruck gets Gomez....He routed his last ran.....fourth but beaten only a less then a length.

                1. Midnight Con
                2. Rude Bobby
                3. Jay´s Firetruck

$20 across the board on 4






RACE 4


The race looks suspect...... the speed looks to have both Lisa Lulu and Kids Table in a suicidal speed dual.... Lisa Lulu has beaten some of these runners...before. Kids Table faced much better company and switches back to the dirt. Mo Cheese should get a good stalking trip behind this speed or might be pressing the pace...The mid pack closer´s looks to be Akeela and Lauren C.....or Sizzling Gold a sneaky closer that has game.

            1. Kids Table
            2. Sizzling Gold
            3. Lauren C
           

            Longshot Moscow Movie

RACE 5


A tough talented field sprinting down the hill in this maiden special weight race. Wildcat Candy by Candy Ride faces a difficult challenge here...... first time starter down the hill but sure looks the part with his pedigree and very solid works.... Bejarano seems fit to ride him. Currahee has ultra fast works after a excellent dirt debut....He switches to the turf.....beware ....He is bred for the turf. Canuletmedowneasy first race down the hill was very good.... He press the pace then hit the dirt and was collared down the lane....If he repeats this race he will be tough be collar again... Michael Pender sends out Boat Trip who takes off the blinkers....He has faced some tough company and try´s the turf for the firt time.... A player as well......Fleet Eagle might have raced with the best company in this race.... the list is very impressive....He cuts back to a sprint today..... do not sell short this one...Chickie Charms ......mixed signals as Beajrano climbs aboard the first time starter.

              1. Wildcat Candy
              2. Currahee
              3. Canuletmedowneasy

             Longshot Fleet Eagle




RACE 6


A weird field of horses coming off big wins and a number of horses coming back from lay-offs.....Obess posted a big speed figure as Hector Palma claimed this dude and puts him in a race where he cannot get claimed.....My main concern is the classic bounce after a speed figure of his lifetime...He will be bet here.....He gets the rail.....and will be sent early..... Chapman´s Peak a horse on my watch list is coming back after more then a year off.....but he has been training lights off....... Sadler is good with lay-offs.....gets weight off too as Flores rides this dude. Gnarly Dude looked awesome smoking claimer on this track....He can step up and stalk the speed......a player. Close To The Edge has races which puts him right in the mix. Mike Smith re-rides is a plus.

            1. Chapman´s Peak
            2. Close To The Edge
            3. Obess

            Longshot  Gnarly Dude long look here!

RACE 9

A Cal-Bred maiden special weight down the hill on the turf... A difficult task to win first time out for a first time starter....A handicapper that I respect told me about a good looking bay colt that James Cassidy trains called Flying Jib..... morning line 12 to 1......He thinks highly of him..... the clocker´s like him as well......He needs to beat his main rivals who are Suances Candy..... slow start then press a fast pace going wide on the turn.....good looking second....Vienna is good with second time starters....looks on paper to be the one to fear. Gains sends out the comebacker Turn On The Pumps....He cuts back to a sprint which might help. King´s Red Journey exits the same race as Suances Candy.....blinkers did the trick and a shorter turf distance helped....contender here!

                 1. Suances Candy
                 2. Flying Jib







RACE 10

A suspect claimer for 12 G´s.... wow Solar Rocket..... claim him if you dare..... Martin rides for Baffert.
