Race 1 – 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Race 2 – 6 furlongs, Purse $32,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Chocolate Caliente – Makes her first start in the Mike Mitchell barn; last was a real stinker, can do better.

Race 3 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

7 Bench Beauty – Amazing run last time to rally from last to fourth; gets more ground to work with tonight.

Long Shot – 5 The Grans

Race 4 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Golden Mexico – Speedball will wear a target on his back; has been controlling speed of late.

Long Shot – 4 Donato

Race 6 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, 2-year-olds

6 Yankee Dan – Big barn switch to Jeff Mullins; he has been too quiet of late, you need the stock to win races.

10 Sabe – Logical chalk has a lot of early speed; class drop can only help him cause.

Long Shot – 5 Trucial State

Race 7 – 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $48,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

7 Sunburn – 3 of her last 4 races have been good; main negative is a parking lot post in short run to the first turn.

6 Ameila Rose – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; need not be much to graduate.
