SANTA ANITA
RACE 2
NO. 4 PRIVY: First time starter for Sadler had been working with a purpose and was bet down to the 6/5 chalk. She was crushed on both sides leaving the gate then was hustled up to force the pace. Got to the front but was run down late by another first time starter. This filly will be a solid single next time out.
RACE 6
NO. 5 ZAP AGAIN, LOOKIE LOO: Two Bob Baffert first time starters finished second and third with Zap Again just missing by a nose while ¾ of a length in front of the closing Lookie Loo. We love both right back next out and hope they are in the same race as it will be exata box time.
RACE 7
NO. 11 BLAME JOE: This was my GT paper release a few weeks back. He was coming off the layoff for Peter Miller who also had Allaboutmike in the race. This bettor opted for Blame Joe, who I thought would be the price of the two. Joe was sent off at 3-1 while Mike went off at 4-1 and won the race. Blame Joe finished a much better than looked seventh and we will come right back with him next time out at what will be a better price.
