Santa Anita for Sunday 20 Feb 2011
[private]
Race 4 is most likely off the turf with all the rain and the fact there are 4 grass races carded for Monday. Hope the track dries out and plays fair.
Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
1 Torrey Cliffs  significant drop and the races seemingly sets for her closing style
3 Brooke's Fantasy  clunker in last but gets enough recovery time...might be speed of the speed
6 Dextera  long overdo drop to earn his keep and bring in a few bucks
Â
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
4 Wholelotacongrats  back in short rest is a big positive for the trainer......should be prominent from the start....and only 5 furlongs
6 Preferred Mandate  only race that is solid here was lone run on an off track....decent shot to have some moisture in it today
5 Reggiano  1ster is training up to snuff and trains as if he has some speed...have to like that in a speed friendly 5F affair
Â
race 3Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 Syllabus  whole 4 race career fits solidly here.....drops again buy why not it worked in his last race
8 Dee Dee's Legacy  2 nice positives...appears best at 6F and seems to prefer conventional dirt
2 Flashmans Papers  consistent sort and a small logical drop
6 Destinys Roar  race 2 back run at 6 furlongs fits fine here....will that effort or better to get to the winners circle
Â
race 4   average clarity (off the turf picks are as follows: 4-3-1-7)
7 Bring It Home  trainer is so much better 2nd after layoff and this gelding has some solid turf figs on Top Turf Today
4 Rauschenberg  on the right end of the learning curve and just drilled a very fast grass work for a guy like Marty Jones
1 Sterling Outlook  sprint grass sprinter has a good shot at getting loose....Gomez will try to rate.....get the 2 turns ....and wire
10 Dahound  good grass horse and proven on softer turf....difficult post to overcome
Â
race 5Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
4 Piney River  fired a solid number in last both pace and final time wise
3 Swiss Charm  clunker in last....debut 2 back fits decently...blinkers on to get back to that effort
7 Running Isabella  solid work tab and decently bred
8 Warren's Today  good works and it is a good sign that Bejarano is aboard this 1ster....my guess is he is ready...new sire...barn will want a good showing
Â
race 6Â Â Â average clarity
3 Girlwithegoldhoof  0 for 6 in the win col. on the AW...2 for 2 in the win col. on the dirt...3 reassuring drills since her last
1 Lost Prophet caught way too wide in last......good chance to be on the lead here....brave sort on the front end
2 To The Batcave  good opportunity to sit in a good stalking position
6Â Dinner With Nikki CÂ Â nice move forward 2nd out after the layoff....one more move in the right direction and he should be a stout contender
Â
race 7Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
2 Alpine Echo  nice work tab for a very reliable trainer when she shows good drills
8 Maggie Mcgowan  sharp drill for a guy like O'Neill with a 1st timer...rather sure this filly is well meant in her debut
5 Beautiful Year  solid set of works for this 1st timer...put some speed into her and then some nice foundation....sure seems ready
6 Alala  decent debut in an mc claimer and steps up into MSW.....works are better and the trainer has a good history with such a maneuver
Â
race 8Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 The Factor  crushed foes 1st ever on conventional dirt and is now training terrifically for the ever reliable Bob Baffert
3 Sway Away  earned a very solid adjusted for trouble fig when last seen in August....hard to train much better...sure seems ready fresh off of the bench today
8 Premier Pegasus  small but very capable barn trains this colt who has done nothing wrong in 3 lifetime starts
5 Indian Winter  closer hoping for a battle up front and should be a factor late if he gets it
Â
race 9Â Â Â average clarity
3 Rolling Tide  capable of significant early pace and this is a 5F affair...enough said
1 Sparrow  claimed way back in Summer by Sadler...long wait but he's back and the works say he is ready...only lifetime run fits fine here
