LOS ALAMITOS TB
Race 1
Lots of early speed in this five furlong sprint for $8k fillies and mares. No. 5 Warrensdollarsigns just won here from just off the pace on July 6th, his trainer strikes while the iron is hot and this mare won’t find a much softer group of $8k claimers, single in the pick five. 5
Race 2
Maiden 2yo fillies go 5-1/2 furlongs. No. 2 Shaken Memories is out of the dam Sallie’s Memory (Holy Bull) who has dropped 4 winners form 4 starters and her trainer is deadly with first time starters. Bob Baffert sends out first time starter No. 3 Midnight Cute who has been working like a runner. Nakatani gets a rare ride here at Los Al on second time starter No. 4 Cause We Are Loyal for Doug O’Neill, she will be very tough in here. 2-3-4
Race 3
Cal bred maidens go six furlongs. No. 3 King Darius has some long shot appeal as he is out of the dam Maud who has dropped 8 winners from 8 starters, low profile connections guarantee a good price. No. 4 Hardcore Troubador gets Norberto Arroyo Jr. for his first start and sports a big 7 furlong work, this one is very live. No. 5 Trickonomics gets his first start on dirt and he has been displaying big early foot at the Gate, he will be a short price. No. 7 Watered Down gets a great post for this and will sit chilly right of the pace and Stew Elliott has been doing good here at Los Al. 7*-5-4-3
Race 4
$8k claimers go five furlongs. Evin Roman who will win the riding title here gets on No. 6 Awesome Image who is spotted for the win off his maiden score last out, we will single. 6
Race 5
$6,250 claiming fillies and mares go 5-1/2 furlongs. No. 3 Smil’n From Above ran a good second here last out when finishing right behind Warrensdollarsings who runs in race one, after her this is wide open. 3 (all).
Race 6
Optional $40k claimers go a mile. No. 1 Night’s Watch comes off a win at this distance and gets the light weight. No. 3 General Ike will be out winging it on the front end. Evin Roman gets on No. 8 Uninvited for Baffert and No. 6 Lucky J Lane gets off the grass and owns a win her. 8-1-3-6
Race 7
THE $200K GRADE III LOS ALAMITOS DERBY AT 1-1/8 FOR 3YO
The improving No. 5 West Coast comes off a big win at Belmont Park, if he can handle this layout he wins. No. 2 Cistron comes off a solid 3rd in the Grade II Penn Mile, Tyler Base will have him on or near the lead. 5***-2
Race 8
As they could on card eight races today, the day ends with $20k maiden claimers going a mile. No. 8 Wondering Ways couldn’t run down the odds on speed here on the 8th but finds a good spot today. No. 9 Gato Dolce will be odds on in here off his last two at this level and he gets Roman today. 9-8
