SANTA ANITA
Race 1
We have had rain for the past two days so the condition of the new track and the turf course all remain question marks so we will tread carefully. No. 2 Whipstock has run second in both of his lifetime starts one short and one long one on the main and one on the grass, No. 7 Visigodo exits a good turf race, the winner ran a bang up second on Sunday, this guy gets Bejarano for this his third start and he looks to have some long shot appeal. No. 3 Matlow has run some good numbers sprinting and now may try and take them wire- to- wire in this his first try going long. 2-3-7
Race 2
This is one bad race, No. 2 Dancing Joy will show all of his speed and may win by attrition. 2
Race 3
This one is scheduled to go 6½ furlongs on the down hill turf course if so No. 2 Bella Roja exits our HTW list off yet another troubled trip if she can stay clear she will have a big shot with Bejarano taking over the ride and he is the last jockey to win with her. Gomez gets on No. 5 Tenacious Tina who is one tough hard knocking filly who can run on any surface. No. 7 Tribalicious’s only start on this course resulted in a win against tougher. No. 10 Ambitoness gets the best of the draw for this race, she will sit and make one late run. 2-5-7-10 ( selections made for grass)
Race 4
No. 2 Sabe showed good speed in his second start and shows a good work over the track, No. 4 Ello Guv exits our HTW list off a good first attempt finishing second despite trouble. Mike Smith and trainer Cassidy hooked up with a big winner here the other day and they have No. 6 Dangerous Duo who drops, gets blinkers on and a big jockey change. 2-4-6
Race 5
The last work on No. 2 Morganouska says he will be out winging it on the front end, No. 5 North Fork has been spinning his wheels since returning from the layoff but he will find the perfect pace scenario in this race. 2-5

Race 6
No. 4 Crestatorre gets blinkers on and a needed drop in class in this his third off the layoff, No. 5 Mucho Bravo shows a nice work for this his first going long. No. 7 Panthers Claw drops into a maiden claimer for the first time, look for a big try. No. 11 Sidepocket Kid gets the bug boy and a drop in class. 4-5-7-11
Race 7
Hopefully down the hill we go again, No. 6 Starspangled Heat will love this course and P Val takes over. No. 8 Holladay Road exits our HTW list off a strange last race, he gets a new jock as Rosario opts for No. 9 Surplus who just may take to this turf course. No. 11 Bluegrass Reward is not without a chance from his good outside post. 6-8-9-11
Race 8
No. 7 Wanted Poster drops and gets blinkers as they shoot for the win, we will single in the late pick three.7
