SANTA ANITA
Race 1
This one is very tough with all eight entered looking to have a shot, we will side with the lightly raced No. 1 Recap who was bet like a good thing when making his debut back in 09’ on the grass, something must have gone bad as he went on the bench for over a year, he had a nice prep for this and now he gets back on the green. 1
Race 2
In another toughie we will side with No. 3 Lady Alex who drops like a hot potato for trainer Sadler but this Mare gets a huge jockey upgrade and we don’t thing jockey Bejarano would jump on a cripple as he is battling for the lead in the jockey standings. 3
Race 3
We have another barn burner with these 25k claimers going a flat mile on the grass, once again we will side with just one runner, No. 8 Lease Of Life who is wheeled back in just four days by trainer Peter Miller and this 6yo gelding just did miss by a head at this distance here on Jan 20th. 8
Race 4
There is enough early speed in here that it should set up the two come from behind horses, No. 1 Mr. Monkey Jones who drops into an action spot and No. .4 Charlie And Chris who has a shot at waking up big time today at what will be a big price. 1-4
Race 5
No. 1 The Full Labvino was last seen losing by a nostril at Del Mar last August, Sadler looks to have him fit for this, No. 2 Charlie’sboywins gets a big jockey upgrade. No. 6 Papa Terry had trouble in his comeback race and will go much better today. 1-2-6
Race 6
No. 1 Led Advantage looks set for a big run as jockey Omar Berrio rides for the dangerous A C Avila, No. 6 Mystery Bird exits the same race. No. 7 Tiz O’Gold gets off the turf and looks to wake up with the drop in class. 1**-6-7
