Interesting Races at Santa Anita Today

[Dana666]

Race One
Starting the day off with cheap runners.
4-Mr. Braggadocio adds blinks and shortens up. I would think he\'ll make an easy lead in here - might have a little class edge on these foes. Speed holding well, too.
1-Kim\'s leading Man didn\'t really impress me, but I suppose he\'ll get a decent stalking trip inside.
3-Blackman Bay did close pretty well in last, but lacked the final kick to finish things off - moves more like a router than a 5 1/2 furlong type.
Don\'t know much about the firsters/others. Would pass this race if not for the early pick 4 which I like a little.

Race Two
More cheap runners (imagine that at Santa Anita???).
2-Boyoboy holds all the aces in here; he was a little too fresh in his last, so should be even better today I would think; he\'ll have these at his mercy. Does move like a claimer though, so he\'s at the right level really.
3-Cut the check might have a shot if the new pilot sends him today, best shot would be to clear off early.
4-Just heat is just OK.
Not impressed with anyone else.

Race Three
Baffert holds all the aces in here, no pun on Mullins\' runner.
6-Macias would have my vote - very classy, smooth mover - stalks the speed in here.
1-Marcello probably wants more ground, so either way he gets something good out of this race. Too bad they don\'t have quinellas.
5-Joyful Success is a decent looking sort, has speed as do a few others in here.

Race Four
Best race of the day.
4-Switch is dying to run long; if she makes the lead easily enough, she will be very tough to run down - she\'s just learning what its all about, too. Much upside!
3-Crisp has a world of talent and has never really been tested - she will be flying late. Always liked this filly.
1-Blind Luck could get beat today. Closers haven\'t done well in route races lately, and I hear she really took off the other day in that workout, not what I would have wanted. Look, her Hollywood park win WAS awesome but they have bigger fish to fry so to speak - if she ever gets beat, today would likely be the day.
I have nothing against her but she\'s a long legged thing who takes a while to get going - she might need/want more ground, too.

Race Five
No real opinion.

Race Six
Obviously a 2 horse race.
2-Tiz Chrome is as big and fast as a 3 year old can be - reminds me of Curlin.
3-American Lion: Classy sort who\'s best days are ahead of him.

Race Seven
No opinion-have to do the race later.

Race Eight
3-St Trinians is not the smoothest mover, but she is a beast, so beat her to cash.
1-My Baby Bay ran very well in last chasing the top filly; Solis eased her up too when he saw he couldn\'t catch Trinians.
8-Life is Sweet can\'t fault her BC win though her late running style has not been productive here lately - I wouldn\'t thnk she has to win this, but I can\'t blame you if you like her. Same goes for 4-Muska - late runner too. If Trinians gets the jump stalking Pretty Unusual, Checkers and Zardana I don\'t think the big girls will catch her. She will keep winning until the wheels fall off in typical Mitchell fashion.

Race Nine
1-Misremmbered is yet another Baffert BEAST, very hard to look past here.
5-Jeranimo would have got me the score of a lifetime had he won in his troubled last race, that said, they seldom run big again after troubled trips and the odds are always lower, too. No one else I really like in here.

Race Ten
3-Royal FJ how can this gelding still be a maiden??? No more bad posts, so today\'s graduation day.
11-Saw Perfection ran too good to lose in last, major player again. Will he get an easy lead from post 11 though???
8-King of Kendall Uncle Neil adds lasix and blinks, so best to consider, I think.
Not too keen on any of the others, but 7-Ad Infinitum is a strom cat colt for Juddmonte - how did GF get the mount on that one??

Good luck to all!
