Santa Anita for Wednesday 7 April 2010
[private]
Handicappers Corner
After a very poor holiday Sunday of picking winners (hopefully many of you didn't get a chance to play Sunday) we get an average looking card to get on track.
Sure like the late pick 3 starting in the 6th race
2,3,6,7 with 4,5 with 1,3,5,7,8 40 bets
race 1 slightly above average clarity
5 Noblety yikes 4 out of 5 on the SA hill course.....a little concerned about the pull back in claiming price after a win but Kruljachas done this before with this horse
4 Greenwich Park work pattern strongly suggests Sadler has this SAF invader ready to roll in his U S of A debut
3 When We Met good move forward last time in the 2nd after the layoff scenario...2nd after the layoff today
race 2 average clarity
5 Nini Reins training as fast as anyone
10 Call Hera Goddess training fast....barn excels in this 2 F baby races
3 Leslie Rules training fast....Sise gives to 2 furlong race game a try...don't recall him partaking in these the last couple of years
2 Lakota Cash 4 gate works which are pretty quick and using a jock who is no stranger to 2, 3, and 4 furlong dashes
The 11 horse is a factor if he draws in off of the also eligible list
race 3 below average clarity
5 Lodi Red great spot for a 1ster because those who have run sure aren't much.....barn has been sending almost everything fit and ready of late
3 Water Landing poor start and ran wide in debut sprint....should move forward and be competitive in this lackluster seemingly bunch
1 Warren's Kong best figs but the barn hasn't won in a very long time
6 Cee's Closing Time last looks like the tune-up in a sprint to be ready for today's route endeavor
race 4 average clarity
1 Dona Mary M Baze's only mount of the day and he sure is back to riding well now.....seems to have rounded into peak form
6 Malibu Artiste 3 out of 4 in the win column on the SA synthetic is hard to ignore
7 Recess extremely consistent runner but seems to find a way to get beat...as good as anyone in here but usually way over-bet
8 Spell Caster small drop helps and has trained better of late
race 5 average clarity
5 Dontmesroundwitjim high likelihood this Warren charge moves forward 2nd out after the layoff...positive rider switch too
8 Teafatiller earned two significant figs with very poor trips in both lifetime races......Atkinson gets his 3rd attempt to settle this colt down and give him a trip he can win with
6 Absolutlypositivly 2 sharp works and back in 6 days have this animal fit for his return to 2 turn racing
9 Clocker Moment way too far back in MSW debut and still closed down 6 lengths....positive rider switch to Espinoza
race 6 average clarity
6 Fenice takes a seemingly logical drop to get to the circle of joy and has the meets leading rider up to get the job done
7 One Shot quite a few well known trainers don't have 5 wins for the entire Santa Anita meet....Trainer Barnes has 5 in 6 starts...wire to wire attemptwith this guy
3 Our Partner bad claim by Mitchell...significant drop in claiming to cut loses
race 7 above average clarity
5 Thorondor good return to the race wars in last after 1 year away.....solid drills since from a guy like Vienna says we'll see much more today
4 Unusually Sound good move forward in 2nd lifetime start to break his MSW.....continues train like a nice animal
1 Pinstripe Kid nice 2nd place 1st on the turf run and it was from the 10 post at 1 mile...draws the 1 post today with the same under rated rider up
race 8 average clarity
1 Melbisha all 4 efforts at SA (and they were all at today's distance ) fit solidly in this spot......finished a strong 2nd in last with a gap of 7 lengths to 3rd
5 Mary's Dancer barn has had a terrific meeting....maiden debut last was a race to build off of as the barn usually doesn't have their maiden claimers ready to roll in their 1st start
8 Skyangle MSW debut last looks like a 1 1/8 turf fitness endeavor.....drop and go today...can come flying late
7 Royally Large decent return to the race wars in last....needs to move forward today and may
3 Multiplyingtheheat in good enough route form to have a small shot at the win if this late closer can get enough pace up front in today's sprint run
