Horses to Watch Alert
SANTA ANITA
Race 2 No. 5 OUR BOY BENJAMIN: Ran behind Unusual Heatwave when finishing a better than looked fourth at 17-1. Finished up willingly and looks like a good price play next time out for trainer John Martin. $$$
GOLDEN GATE
Race 9 No. 3 EL SAINO: Looked to have a big shot in his 1 1/16 turf route at 21-1. He lagged far back in the early going but got into gear and was storming home between horses to lose by just a neck. This guy can run on the grass and will get them next time out if he can find some pace to make his late run.

No.5 DUGAN BILL: Was dismissed at the windows when let go at almost 16-1 in this 6 furlong starter allowance race. Broke sharp, but fell back to trail this 10 horse field. Made a four wide run circling the field with a quick burst of speed and glided home for an easy 5 length win. I look for this gelding to come back and repeat at another good price. $$$$$DEL MAR
