Santa Anita for Sunday 27 Feb 2011
Decent looking card to finish the race week.
3 more weeks of 4 race days per week then we go to 5 days for the rest of the SA meeting.
Ironic side note to yesterday's 8 of 9 top choice winners....the free selection ran 3rd....made me chuckle
[private]
race 1 slightly above average clarity
5 Good Acktress best ever in last 1st at a route on conventional dirt...solid drills since...big rider change
6 Silver Luna on the improve with every start....very strong fig for this level in latest
2 Love You So showing some ability in 3 lifetime starts....will need lifetime best to land in the circle of joy
race 2 slightly above average clarity
2 Lost Prophet tiger on the lead and looks as if she can clear and possibly wire once again
8 Forty Dates broke slow and ran wide in her latest and still only got beat by 1 1/4 lengths....solid efforts on conventional dirt
3 Poetic Riches new trainer trainer over this filly dropping down a notch.....eye popping bullet drill hints that he may own the trump card for this horse
6 Twodollarstowin another with a new trainer since her last......steps up quite a bit but it is 1st time Mitchell which is often quite dangerous
race 3 average clarity
1 Preferred Behavior toss out last...no pace whatsoever so ran evenly without a close...debut was decent....jock upgrade and a good post for the 1 mile distance at SA
3 Quietly Waiting low % rider and trainer but a dangerous team of late.....owns good speed here...wire to wire attempt most likely
6 Balboa Boy small but dangerous barn has this colt training like he is 100% ready to roll fresh off of the bench in his 2nd lifetime start
4 Sophomoric Venture like the way this gal finished up her sprint in last......bred fine to get a two turn mile
race 4 average clarity
3 Van Brit laid up 7 weeks but a ton if she returns fit at today's 40K level...multiple strong figs on Turf Turf Today
5 Giddyup Gadfly race lacks speed and this mare owns some....should sit close in what appears to be a reasonable pace scenario...Reed is solid 3rd out off of the layoff
1 Wake Me Now works say ready off of the 7 week break.....3 of her last 4 grass endeavors fit in this spot
4 Caged Mistress best in route races on the main track....so last sure looks like a sprint tune-up (and a good one at that) to be full throttle today 1st at a distance on the sod
race 5 average clarity
7 Fairway Road very logical drop back to where Miller claimed and seemingly back to where she can win
3 She's Very Rare closer only won her last with little pace up front....looks like much more pace to soften things up for her today
4 See N Win another late runner hoping for that anticipated strong early pace
8 Powers Lilsis dangerous trainer with shippers from GG to S Cal...will need rebound in form...good "real dirt" history may awaken her
race 6 average clarity
2 Marrymeonemoretime loved the SA surface in a major awakening and win in last.....excellent drills since....sure believe she is an improving filly and can pop lifetime best today
4 Park Time Luck filly has been on quite a roll at GG...claimed....shipped....and can handle conventional dirt...decent trainer 1st after the claim
6 Word Association 4 straight solid efforts which would be very strong here and difficult to beat....but....not too crazy about only one drill since her last ??????
7 Candy's Pleasure speed of the speed here is training like she is getting sharp...maybe sharper then her last couple of races which aren't bad
race 7 average clarity
4 Siberian Heart sharp animal these days and her recent work tab suggests nothing has changed
3 Makoma on the right end of the learning curve with her most professional looking run to date in her last...good post andthe same jock to help the trend continue
11 Gumption loved her in her last and had that sinking feeling when she had tons of horse left and got blocked the whole stretch....would easily have been top pick with an inside post....work to do for Bejarano from the outer-most 10 post
5 Royal Tiger 1 for 1 on the dirt......very strong recent workout....bred to get a mile
race 8 average clarity
3 Quick Enough bad trip in last will hide form some....stout turf sprinter with a decent post and rider
9 Amazombie just keeps getting better and better....ultra consistent
8 Cayambe gelding has done little wrong since he was snatch for 25K last July
5 Hot Damon
race 9 average clarity
7 Heidi Marie very strong MSW debut debut especially considering she didn't seem all that cranked up for her MSW debut.......that run plus her solid recent work tab since suggests even more today
6 Love Theway Youare last was a par like effort...effort 2 back is very strong for the MSW level.....3 lifetime route races will have her very fit to finish well at the extended sprint distance of seven furlongs
5 Spectacular Sky last two races fit solidly adjusted for her trip trouble....needs to smooth things out and we have the right connections to help her achieve that
8 Eden Star
1 Holy Script
