SANTA ANITA
Race 6 — #3 Fandino – Was coming off a layoff for trainer Julio Canani but took plenty of action and just did fail to run down the speed losing by the slimmest of necks but was almost four lengths clear of the rest. This guy will be a great single in his next start and a great bet if he gets an outside post. $$$$$
Race 8 — #3 Soldier Betty – This was one you had to watch in order to appreciate just how much the best Soldier Betty was in here. New boy T Kaplan was in a good spot on the rail but had to check hard and take back several positions and looked beat but Betty just circled and stormed home for an easy win giving kid Kaplan his first win with all his family members getting their photo taken in the winners’ circle.
