FRIDAY NIGHT AT SANTA ANITA PARK

RACE 1

                                 UPDATED

The first baby race of the spring meet.........four and half furlongs for two year old fillies. With the pedigree Robo Girl sired by Bushwacker who's to have some fast drills in the morning. She is a half sister to a stake winner when she was two. City Ride trained by Harrington looks like she will be fast and quick from the gate.

Sweet MZ Poppet mom was sired by Old Topper who wins early and is bred to be quick......She has some fast blow out drills over this track......George Lopez a sneaky old timer can get them to race early.......I like the jockey Delgadillo Agapiton riding her today.

Take The Spring kin is a stakes winner filly Repo......She won her debut four year ago........

Baby races today is your call ...Play or Pass...... I like Robo Girl.


            1. Robo     Bet across the board   won





RACE 2

A 30 G maiden claimer sprinting on the dirt which is open to three year old's and up. This looks to me to be a weak maiden sprint........The horse's that has the running experience to me is Take A Risk......and Ready To Jam. Take A Risk cuts back in distance to six furlongs....Edwin jumps off this one and another and does not ride in this race.......Risk changes barns.....his running style is a mid pack closer...He will be closing late.

Ready To Jam gets the rail but has speed to clear early.....He comes in fresh for George......has the pedigree to win early as he is sired by More Then Ready....George trains and owns and has strung together a nice series of drills to get him ready and fit.

The first timers looks to me to be Stadtpark who has impressed the clocker's at Los Alamito...Paul has put a ultra fast gate work in him.....his main man is up in the irons.

Cache Wanted a first timer has made it to the track at age four. Victor Garcia can get them to win.......I like the long works he has strung together on Cache Wanted. I like the jockey.

Live Lucky sired by Decarachy who has babies that win early.......Hess and Joe hook up on this FTS.......looks like a runner to me.


             1. Take A Risk    won
             2. Stadtpark
             3. Cached Wanted



RACE 3

Seven furlongs at the claiming price of 12 G's for fillies and mares on the main track.

This is a tough race because of the distance and the level. On paper...Magic Number claimed by Belvoir goes first off the claim......and Bejarano chose her.

This race is filled with speed types...... I like She's A Go Girl.........needs to clear from the rail.......She is fit and has current form.


           1. She's A Go Girl   (Bet)   won
           2. Magic Number

RACE 4          LAST TYCOON STAKES GRADE 3


One mile and a eighth on the turf open to three year old's and up. A talented small field of six horses is the Grade 3 Last Tycoon.

I was impressed with Rookie Sensation...the winner over this course and distance last year. Son of Unbridled's Song earned a big Beyer number when he ran a mere prep for this race....the switch to Mike Smith is a major asset.

Quick Casablanca gets Lasix.........cuts back in distance...Ron has strung together long works which I love to see.......this race can up light on speed......which means that they will need to catch Fire With Fire......this time around the jockey's might not let him have a slow easy lead.


        1. Rookie Sensation
        2. Quick Casablanca    bet to place and show  won
        3. Lakerville

        Long shot and the one to catch   Fire With Fire



RACE 5

A 12 G claimer sprinting six furlongs which is open to three year old's and up........I bet Courtside in his last race where he finished third.......He looks rank during the pre- race warm up and during the race...........Let's bet him again as I expect he will bounce back and be tough to deny here. Newfound Gold looked strong winning as he has won two straight.....seeks the hat trick today.......Let's try to beat him with Courtside.


               1. Courtside    (bet)   won
               2. Newfound Gold

Pick 4    $1.00  11 with 6,1 with 4,8 with 10

PAID $770.10

.


RACE 6

N1X allowance turf race sprinting down the hill for fillies and mare three year old and up.....a talented strong entry level allowance turf sprint.

Starry Skies on my watch list has two wins in three starts over this course......I have not seen her since 2012.....but Marty can get them to fire quick and ready to rumble down the lane. Mike Smith takes the call.....as her running style is a stone cold closer. Let's take a stand against her today......she looks like she might need a race before betting her.

Jerry sends out the import Hijara...who gets Lasix and the red hot rider Bejarano.

Velvet Mesquite loves this course and has a excellent turn of foot.......She has pace to run at and should take down this field ..........if the import from Jerry's barn might need a race under her belt.


          1. Velvet Mesquite   won
          2.  Hijara







RACE 7

One mile on the dirt is this optional claimer N1X for three year old's and up. A good betting race with the field of eight runner's. Bettys Bambino is unbeaten in his two starts........I was very impressed with how he won. He is bred to get the distance on the top and bottom of the pedigree. Peter has puts strong works in the morning. 

The pace looks quick and fast as Magic Mark......and Garen to press a quick early pace.  Magic Mark is the one to catch. I Don't Care Who a gelding trained by Jeff Mullins has been a good claim....His last race he was in the nine post........this post will suit his running style.....as he was nine wide all around the track......I expect that will not happen today......as Tyler who has been red hot.......cuts back in distance........check out the bullet work.

The pace should be Magic Mark sired by Benchmark is the one to catch.......if no one goes with this one.....no one will catch him. He is on my watch list as I bet him in his last race...He was rank during warm up and rank during the race......I expect this time they will just send him to the lead..........Let's take him on top....with my long shot Honduras as second.......He cuts back in distance...as Cerin takes off the blinkers today......Corey rides is a major plus.


         1. Magic Mark  (Bet to win and place)  won
         2. Honduras

RACE 8

A maiden claimer at 50 G's at the distance of one mile which will include three year old's and up. A big field of 11 runners makes this race a good betting race.

The three year old filly Kozani bred top to bottom for the turf gets the short straw as she draws post ten. She cuts back in distance after running one mile and a eighth........Sadler trains her as she is running her third race after a three month freshening. First time in for a tag.......She has a excellent turn of foot...........Misdeed first time in for a tag gets Joe to ride.


         1. Kozani     Bet     won
         2. Misdeed
