RACE 1     STARTER MILE ALLOWANCE

                               2 YEAR OLD


Small field of six.......in a wide open contentious race.......Contenders all of them!

ANALYSIS'

Doug O'Neil has a number of good two year olds in his barn.......Courageous Dave needs to kick the habit of breaking slow in his first 2 races...........Sprint to route.....bred to run long. He looks to be the controlling speed in this race........come catch him!

Sugar Buzz another good two year old trained by Dan Hendricks.......sire is Include.........He has gone this distance. Has two turn experience which Dave does not have........nice works under hid belt.

Tribal Roar ....son of Tribal Rule......has speed and goes long from the rail......player with a shot.......do not dismiss this one..........

Glory Bound has the pedigree to route.......bred to run all day long.........exits the race with Dave but lost ground going very wide.........interesting live long shot......


       1. Courageous Dave
       2. Sugar Buzz
       3. Tribal Roar

       Interesting pedigree long shot Glory Bound    WON BIG TIME


RACE 2  MAIDEN 50 G CLAIMER SPRINTING


ANALYSIS'

I like the FTS on the rail Jen's Tribe.......kin to Jen's Hot who won in 2013........interesting live filly is Manhattan Fashion.........first time in for a tag.........drop in class..........new trainer and barn..........pedigree wins early and gets good outside post........9 Point 9 Cerin trains hikes up in class.........route to sprint angle.........Corey takes the call......A Player!

On paper Bejarano looks to have a live horse with Tiz Pleasant............daughter of Southern Image has been knocking on the door....cuts back in distance......Major contender.



       1. Jen's Tribe
       2. Manhattan Fashion
       3. Tiz Pleasant

       Pedigree Play 9 Point 9


RACE 3  40 G CLAIMING SPRINT 3 YR. OLD

Belvoir enters two..........Smack Talk and Kristo Sky.........Smack Talk had some smack after smoking his maiden debut........buzz........now returns.......Talamo rides and he is the one to beat........Kristo Sky on my watch list........prep last time out......should be on the muscle and focus........check out his six furlong morning work........expect a big performance.


         1. Smack Talk
         2. Kristo Sky
         3. Lambo Luxx

         Pace play   Percy Fawcett


RACE 4  7 FURLONG MAIDEN

A modest field of maidens going seven furlongs on the main track.

ANALYSIS'

The runners that have ran look OK........take the new faces.......Two FTS's.........Baffert enters Bella Anatola and Tim Yakteen gets the leading rider Bejarano to ride Heed To Speed............interesting play might be the Yakteen stablemate Old Fashioned Halo.......Bejarano ride Speed and the Halo gets the jockey Perez..........good odds..........


            1. Old Fashioned Halo
            2. Heed To Speed
            3. Bella Anatola

            Experience  Play    Pirate Flag



RACE 6   MILE BOTTOM MILE CLAIMING RACE


ANALYSIS'

Qatar's Pearl trained by David Bernstein early in his career.........was a quality horse running on the dirt and turf in open company maiden special weight company..........I had him on my watch list.......he was a head case and a under-achiever to say the best about him.......His wheels came off and has not been see since Feb.........He needed to get straight! I expect Nicolas will press the pace and get over quickly to save ground from the outside.........I think he will fire today at double digit odds........


1.  Qatar's Pearl
        2.  Carlsbad Mountain
        3.  Planet Sunshine

        Justication and American Blend late pick 4 if you have the money or hit the all button!









RACE 7  MILE SIXTEENTH OPTIONAL CLAIMER


ANALYSIS'

Win The Space is my top pick........excellent speed number and switches back to the dirt.......Dream Police should get a drafting trip and his speed numbers get higher ........Mario takes over as Bejarano goes to the favorite Chief Of Staff.......


         1. Win The Space
         2. Dream Police'
         3. China  Girl Lover

        Bad Post extreme outside draw  Chief Of Staff



RACE 8  FIRST LEVEL TURF ALLOWANCE SPRINT


I was impressed with how Wildcat Sailor ran.........bred to like the grass.........game horse and should be over-looked at the windows here............

Smokey's Legacy runs better down the hill.......likes this course.......do not dismiss this one too quickly.......

Global Magician trained by Miller should love the stalking trip as he shortens up in distance.....
Pay The Fine is a tough game horse that I have bet and made money on him.......He is pure speed but the pace should be fast and contested early........

Long Shot my play would be Circle The Moon.......I know this one..........do not dismiss as Mike Smith rides him for trainer Karen Headley......watch out!

 
        1.  Wildcat Sailor
        2.  Circle The Moon
        3.  Global Magician
