SANTA ANITA
RACE 1
NO. 2 PAY THE FINE: Pay The Fine was just a nostril in front of Desert Dynamo who had a very wide trip just missing on the line.
RACE 4
NO. 3 CHEEKABOO: Trainer Peter Eurton sent this filly to Golden Gate for the turf festival. She was fanned four wide while making a big move on the second turn. Was shifted widest of all into the stretch but zoomed home to get the big win in the $100k Campanile. We see more good stuff coming from this filly.
RACE 5
NO. 2 THE BIG TRAIN: Swung out from last to be four wide into the stretch and was angled widest of all in mid-stretch. Closed like a big freight train to miss by a fast dwindling ¾ of a length. With a better trip he gets the win next time out. $$$
RACE 8
NO. 7 ROCKO’S WHEEL: Had some big works coming into this allowance optional $62,500 claimer. He ran big despite a wide trip, just missing the place by a head. Can win next out.
