Santa Anita
Race 5
No. 6 MALIBU HONEY: First time starter for Bob Baffert was bet like a good thing in this 75k maiden claimer and won like the money at 9/5 despite having a case of the lugs in the final furlong. Top trainer John Sadler says fit to put up the 75k so we will see fit to bet this filly right back.
Race 7
No. 8 STARSPANGLED HEAT: Was far back in this downhill turf sprint and came widest of all turning for home. Once in high gear, he was storming down the lane to just miss by a half length in a powerful late run. Gets the money next time out. $$$
