Race 4 – 6 furlongs, Purse $30,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 Runaway Bandido – Woke up with a big effort in last for Dan Hendricks; key question is he is a 5-YO with a 1-for-18 record, not big on winning.

3 Luckyvic – Bad racing luck cost her a win last time; was stuck inside crying for racing room and got out to rally in the final 50 yards.

6 Highly Rated – Tepid favorite is a good example of a horse who wanted to run long; got a test drive in debut, but two route races have been good.

Long Shot – 4 Red Intrigue

Race 7 – 7 furlongs, $200,000 Real Good Deal, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds
