[private]
Rebound time after yesterday's debacle. One always seems to get slapped when they brag a little too much.
All the races seem playable today.
race 1 average clarity
2 Subpoena The Dress 2 solid races at 6F on conventional...sharp drills
3 Ashee looking for a forward move 2nd out after the layoff
6 Red White And Brew better off chasing and will have to here with the faint of heart 4 horse in the race
race 2 average clarity
1 Rumor crushed foes in MSW....very smooth looking runner...the kind that has a good opportunity to show more in 2nd lifetime start...bred to handle the 1 mile distance just fine
5 Love Theway Youare exits an extremely solid MSW affair that fits at this higher level...and may move forward 2nd after the layoff
race 3 average clarity
7 Red Dwarf best set of drills (esp. for a Cal bred) for a 1ster from the Puype barn in some time
6 He's So Stylish good grass leg me up tune-up in debut last...bullet 5/8th drill since....much more in 2nd out likely
1 Red Scare bet hard in MSW debut in late Dec and only ran so so.....good work series since....Gaines will most likely get more from her youngster today
2 Jade River Ellis 1st timer is training up to snuff and looks ready to roll in his debut into the world of thoroughbred racing
race 4 average clarity
2 Warren's Sally exits a fast heat in latest...never trained better....positive rider switch
8 Officerwasispeedin on the right end of the learning curve and has a good shot here if the learning process continues today
4 Whiskers And Rye even run in last looked like a needed race....hint....Bejarano sticks around for 2nd out after the layoff
3 Silver Luna 2nd and 3rd lifetime starts are OK...what we want is her effort 3 back in her mc debut
race 5 average clarity
6 Camp Victory last looks like the gimme in a non-claiming affair to drop and go 2nd out for his new conditioner
3 Sarvas Wild Again very consistent in route races on the turf or the main track.....and sure seems to appreciate 6 to 8 weeks between starts and gets it
1 Stephen's Got Hope both grass races run at today's 1 mile distance are solid....gets a nice post where he has started from for his last 2 wins
race 6 average clarity
2 Smart Spending Gaines has this newcomer to her barn training up a storm....only run on a Fast track was impressive
4 Espirito Santo broke his maiden in last with a decent final time fig but more importantly showed very strong pace for the level....also gets a positive rider switch
1 Pleasant Earth a little short fig wise but closer should get significant pace up front and the race might fall in his lap
7 Jolly Ollie 1st time in the Hollendorfer barn and that is usually a good thing
race 7 average clarity
3 Andina 1 1/8 mile turf distance seemingly is a very good fit...ultra consistent sort
2 Farley Star 2 one mile grass races in her both of her U S of A starts aren't bad.....1 1 /8 mile distance looks like a much better fit
4 Catsalot good animal fresh off of the bench like today....trainer is starting to heat up
7 Calle Vista good speed in this affair...and...a good history when sits on the lead or in a close chase position
race 8 slightly above average clarity
3 Always A Princess powerful run in last getting caught a little wide with significant pace...will have to be caught
4 Blind Luck pace scenario hurts this superstars chances but she has overcome a lack of pace before
race 9 average clarity
5 Extra Fifty bad trip in Msw debut run last August which was on the grass.....showed lots of life....very positive rider switch and the works say ready
9 Husband's Folly earned a strong fig in 2nd lifetime start on the AW and it was run with 2 months off....2 1/2 months off this time...training well...good turf pedigree
2 Wholelotacongrats 1st trainer is training like he is well meant and ready....very good breeding for the sod
10 Robbie's War can be motoring late....needs a clever ride from a difficult post
7 Shamino 1st timer has strong drills for a guy like Shirreffs and mom is prolific at tossing out grass runners
