Great Looking Santa Anita Derby Day card this Saturday
[private]
Sure like today's recommended pick 3 part-wheel
6th Race 3,4,5,8 with 1,2,4,6 with 1,6,8
race 1 slightly below average clarity
7 Girlwiththegoldhoof flashed some decent pace in her maiden debut...good works since...can be in prominent position from the get go
8 Akeela have to like the fact that Chew claimed this filly right back after losing her...all 3 lifetime starts are competitive for this level
5 Waterside Rose 1ster works are getting sharper...a possible sign she is starting to become a competitive, ready racehorse
3 Notwithstanding notwithstanding we have a trainer that hasn't won in 2 years...this filly ran very wide in a route and only got beat by 7...also believe she we like a turn back in distance
race 2 average clarity
3 Suances De Espana all 3 2010 races fit solidly here...barn has woken up a little
2 Pokomoke believe Mullins believes as I do that this horse prefers sprinting...last fits fine
1,1A ENTRY both 1 and 1A have a chance from mid pack (1A) and far back positions (1)
race 3 average clarity
6 Prince Of Gotham has shown life in all 3 lifetime AW races....dad's a hot new turf sire
9 Absolutlypositivly sure like this one's last 3 sprints on the AW and on the turf...can range up from the outside near the lead
2 Padre John 1ster has good enough drills to be ready for debut....decent grass breeding...and has a trainer in Bell who wins more on the grass than the AW
5 Mr Tokyo inexpensive purchase is running fairly well on the sod....can compete for the win with a little move forward.....Gomez sticks with the horse...gotta like that
race 4 average clarity
1 Lamm all three grass races run this year are strong for this level....Mitchell drops for an AW race....recent bullet drill suggests he should handle the surface change
6 Egypt race 2 back his last run on the AW fits well at today's 20K level
5 Laser Point in good form but does lose Gomez who has won 3 of the 4 races this horse has won.....but we do get M Garcia...still a decent shot to compete for the top prize
race 5 slightly below average clarity
1 Usually Super last wasn't much but the race 2 back is a very nice bad trip figure...that's what we need..that's hope she lives up to her name
3 Sweet Patricia 1st time in the Sherlock barn and a strong recent work-out hints that she appreciates it
4 Loaded Gun OK debut and has really had a prolonged much improved work series since....sure seems ready fresh
8 Real Housewife bred to be a good sprinter....works are good enough to consider ready in maiden debut
race 6 average clarity
4 Skellytown very solid figs on Top Turf today for this level.....logical drop...distance fits
3 Uffizi 85 % of his lifetime grass races fir well here....distance is fine too
5 Rumba Along 2nd out after the claim and that is where the Dollase barn is most dangerous...consistent animal
8 Jack's Wild best work in some time hints at a rebond....barns had a very good meeting
race 7 average clarity
2 Warrens Summergold sprinting tries long and he can be loose on the lead without many challengers...decent shot to wire
6 Self Made nice win in MSW debut with a game finish....training great and Sadler is tough 1st time long of late
1 Green Card James believe last was a grass tune-up to be legged up for today's route run...positive rider switch
race 8 slightly above average clarity
1 Tuscan Moon last definitely looks like the gimme to be full throttle for today in the drop out of MSW to the maiden claiming ranks
8 Sky Chant debut race n the AW is out of a fast heat...that race fits solidly here
6 Merrytagio another dropping out of MSW....seems logical after 2 so so efforts...Gomez sticks with the horse
3 Don Veinte flashed good speed in debut...can be prominent from the get go and can compete for the win in she moves forward in her 2nd lifetime race
2 Carat Foe C. C. late runner is better than she looks on paper...doubt can win but can hit the board at a big price
