SANTA ANITA
Race 7
No. 7 MAMBO MAN: Hopped in a slow start and was taken down on the inside just off the rail. He came out on the second turn and made a three wide run down the lane to finish fast just missing by a dwindling half a length. He is sitting on a win.
Race 8
No. 1 CHARBROILED: Just tried his heart out but could not run down the lone speed in here who simply popped and never looked back. Charbroiled finished second in a race he would have won on any other day and was more than nine lengths clear of the others. $$$$$
GOLDEN GATE
Race 7
No. 6 VANTAGE POINT: Was four wide to the backstretch in this mile race. He was forced to stay wide until the second turn when six deep into the stretch. Once straight he came running like a freight train down the lane and got up at the wire in big time effort. He was claimed by Bill Morey who will have him spotted for another win next time out. $$$
