Santa Anita for Friday 5 March 2010
[private]
Handicappers Corner
Blockbuster card Saturday loaded with a lot of quality horses. Haven't studied the card yet but we have a superior track record on stellar weekend cards.
For today we have 2 recommended pick 3 part-wheels
1st race pick 3Â Â Â Â 1, 3, 6 / 2, 4, 6, 7 / 2,5Â Â Â Â 24 wagers
6th race pick 3   1, 6, 7 / 3, 5, 6 / 3, 5, 10    24 wagers   Â
Race 1Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
6  Purse Luva  only true late runner in the field....last run route to sprint like today was a significant fig
1 Eternally Fast  speed of the speed here....last 2 efforts fit fine at this level
3 Move On Up  only beaten less than 6 lengths (albeit on the sod) in last....drops back to a spot he might handle especially if the grass legged him up some
Race 2Â Â Â average clarity
2 Suances De Espana   exits 2 straight fast heats in a row.....right there at the 5 furlong mark 4 of his 5 lifetime races
4 Bagels N Bones  laid up but has a work series that says ready to roll fresh....1 for 1 on the SA Pro-ride.....her lone win
7 Suziqcutie  5 starts at 5 1/2 F and has 3 wins and 2 2nd's....not much more to say than that
6 Enchanting Moment  bit strange in that this mare keeps dropping and running better figs......drops once again
race 3Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
2 Devil's Mate  Armstrong and the Budget Stable have been very reliable when the show good morning preparation....that's the case here ...5F and a good speed rider suggest this one is quick early
5 Simply Put  the fact that Sadler has kept a mare around who has only had 1 race a year for 3 straight years says this is a logical drop...all 3 lifetime runs are tough for this level
6 Kaylie's Joy  good speed and a good speed rider which is a good fit for today's 5F distance......long layoff but working well enough to be considered ready.....especially only having to run 5F
3 Sombre  speed of the speed who quits past 5F would love to have more of these abbreviated sprints carded
Race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Warrens Summergold  bred decently for the grass....barn's had a very solid meet.....has shown good speed and final time in both AW efforts
1 Belongs To Gotham   consistent sort likes the sod and finally gets to sprint on it which I believe he will appreciate......has been on the board in all 9 lifetime starts
8 Proud Hillybilly   may have needed his last off of the layoff....bred decently for the sod and the barn has won 4 of their last 14 1st on the time on the grass
Race 5Â Â Â below average clarity
5 Ziggy's Stardust  impressive run in latest which was his 1st ever at a route...had to cope with the outer-most 10 post that day...draws a much more favorable post today...should be flying late
1 Metrology last looks like the sprint prep for today's route race...jock/trainer have been a good team the last few months
6 Saw Perfection  handles two turn racing on the turf just fine....1st ever on the AW but his breeding seems equally as good for the synthetic
9 Dontsellmetofelons  showed life in his MSW debut closing late from the back of the pack...should benefit from that race and move forward today
race 6Â Â Â above average clarity
1  Scofield Barracks  made a big move forward in 2nd lifetime start last June......looking for the same 2nd out after the layoff here
6 Smoke Cat  solid efforts/figs the last 5 races....reassuring work since says we can expect more of the same
7 Spirit Of Cochise  moved forward in last in what was a tough group of 25K claimers......solid drill since and Gomez up
5 Spot The Diplomat  Mullins wins close to a 30% clip 1st out after the claim....plenty of speed up front should aid his closing style
Race 7Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
6 Tanda just ran 2nd to the filly that snatched 2nd in the B C Juv filly turf and it was at today's distance.....bullet work since
5 Sweet Hanni  proven (1 for 1) on the hill and gets 3 lbs off...excellent work series since...rider has won 3 of his last 4 mounts for the barn
3 Elusive Galaxy  faced the best overseas of the 4 Euro ship ins.....also appears to be training as if fully fit and ready for her U S of A debut
8 Cash Queen Anna  ran some solid races on much firmer then normal turf in GB...seems like a smart move to bring her to sunny California and its fast firm turf
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
10 Summers At Delmar  Canani says enough is enough....time to drop to get to that desired winners circle of smiles
3 Little Travis  very strong works for a guy like West....1st mount for Russel this meet but West has used him on "live" horses in the past
5 Kim's Leading Man  blocked badly in his last 2 races...blinkers on to help this fellow focus and hopefully be more maneuverable
2 Dubai You X Y Z  C Hunt who has mostly been an exercise rider over the years looks like she has been given a live mount as well...solid works and a small but capable barn
6 Rise To Power  14 to 1 in a 5 horse field has gimme written all over this colt's debut last...should see more today on the drop
