SANTA ANITA
RACE 10
NO. 8 WATCH ME NOW: First time starter had the connections we like with Kent Desormeaux riding for his brother Keith, but as luck would have it she broke slow and had to be steadied when shut off. Made a good run down the lane to finish a solid third and will be tough to beat at this $50k level next out.
RACE 11
NO. 12 BUYMEABOND: Had been waiting for this one to come back and we got the right price at almost 11-1. As luck would have it he stumbled at the start and was dead last in this field of 11 turf runners. Did make a huge late run to finish a fast closing fourth just missing the show dough by a neck and the place by a neck and a nose.
