Santa Anita for Sunday 19 May 2019
Rain overnight and early morning so I had to redo my work thus the lack of comments. Track should be drying out so pay attention.
Best of luck as always!
race 1Â Â below average clarity (if the race stays on the turf)
1 Bellize  hot trainer in Sadler and even hotter when he legs up Victor Espinoza.......MSW 1st time starter is bred to love the green carpet and she hasn't missed a beat in the a.m. over a prolonged period of time of 4 months
3Â Noble Goddess
6Â Moreisbetter
2Â La Shrimp
7Â Flying to the Line
race 1Â Â below average clarity (if the race is moved to the main track)
6-7-1-9-10
race 2Â Â average clarity
4 Rafal  when Baffert takes the blinkers off a given horse who just ran (fairly) well it is usually a strong move......that is the case here for this colt who was pounded at the windows in his MSW debut
6Â One Eighty
1Â Westport
race 3Â Â average clarity
2 Fore Left  O'Neill who is on fire of late wins more than his fair share of these early two-year old races and he seemingly has this young colt very sharp......love the last work put in as it was this colt's 1st drill at SA and it was one fast 3F gate work
3Â Raging Whiskey
6Â Phanton Boss
5Â Restoring Dreams
7Â D K's CrownÂ
race 4Â Â average clarity (if the race stays on the turf)
2 Moon Kitty  low percentage jock up but not on this five-year old mare........Roman should be able to save ground stalking the lead or might even get it if our 2nd choice doesn't take to the sod in his 1st race on it.......trainer is dynamite 3rd out after a layoff
5Â Watch Me burn
3Â Flammetta
race 4Â Â below average clarity (if the race is moved to the main track)
2-5-1
race 5Â Â average clarity
9 Gallantlystreamin  Peter Miller filly drops to a level where the majority of her lifetime races look very solid here if of course she takes to conventional dirt on her first race on it..........last two drills at Slr sure hint that she will
4Â Second Avenue
3Â Savera
2Â Gadot
1Â Harper's Gallop
race 6Â Â average clarity
4 Sea's Journey  cut back in distance appears to be a plus as does a racing surface with some moisture in it.......jock knows this five-year old well and as usual he should have her in the mix from the get go
7Â Mighty Elijah
6Â Pig Iron
5Â Perfect Tale
2Â Tak'in the Red Eye
race 7Â Â average clarity (if the race stays on the turf)
6 Move Over  like the improvement it this colt's latest (and at 9F) with 1st time Victor Espinoza up......he remains up today and that likely is a wise move as Hector Palma often is quite dangerous 3rd out after a layoff which is the case today
4Â Accountability
8Â Kenjisstorm
1Â Artie B Good
3Â Tequila Joe
race 7Â Â below average clarity (if the race is moved to the main track)
1-2-4-7-9
race 8Â Â average clarity
4 Danuska's My Girl  last was no 20 to 1 fluke of a G3 win as this mare sure took to the new deeper SA surface in a big way setting a brutal set of fractions and still was able to win going away.......3 for 4 at 6F and 1 for 8 at other dirt distances.......G Franco is a perfect 3 for 3 on this gal......off track is a ? mark
5Â Show It N Moe It
1Â Selcourt
race 9Â Â average clarity (if the race stays on the turf)
1 Playa Chica  rider upgrade and Baltas is 20% win the 2nd time he takes over the training of a given horse like today........good post for the filly and seemingly in against a bunch she can handle
8Â Tig Tog
9Â Sweet Connie Girl
2Â Blueberry Princess
11Â Whoa Jessie
race 9Â Â below average clarity (if the race is moved to the main track)
