Horse Racing, Santa Anita Park, 10/23/11

Post Time 1 p.m.

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

5 Correspondent – Beaten favorite has burned a lot of money lately; 4 seconds, he is clearly fast enough.

7 Heidi Maria – Exits a bullet work and has the meet’s hottest rider, Joel Rosario; can sit a cozy outside trip.

Long Shot – 4 Gelila

Race 2 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

3 Galleta Monstruo – In two races for Mike Mitchell has run evenly; big class drop can put him over the top.

1 Sea Rascal – Big class drop to a level you know he can compete at; 8-YO is still pretty fast considering his age.

Long Shot – 4 Brady Blue Eyes

Race 3 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

7 Made to Love Her – Exits a very fast paced race in last; has tactical speed to sit a nice trip for Rafael Bejarano.

4 Princess Ash – Bob Baffert FTS has been working fast, what a shock; the tote board should tell you something.

Long Shot – 6 Vionnet

Race 4 – 6 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds

6 Belle Gallentey – Hastings Park shipper is not outclassed at this bottom level; need not be much to graduate.

Race 5 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Judge Joan – Big rider switch to Rafael Bejarano off a sharp win; she drops in class too, what else for Jeff Mullins.

8 Irridescent Red – This guy is claim proof in return off a 9-month hiatus; Dan Hendricks can win here with impunity.

Long Shot – 10 Motel Stroll

Race 6 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $38,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds and up

4 Golden Mexico – Was scratched for this spot; this is the lowest price tag of his career, reason enough to win.

3 Times Gone By – Claimed by Julio Canani for $25K and aggressively placed for $50K; always thought he had ability.

Race 7 – 7 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

14 Red Door Drive – Like the parking lot post in this elongated sprint; big class drop is the elixir for victory.

Race 8 – 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), $65,000 Uniformity, 3-year-olds

1 Irish Art – Like the turn back in distance for down the hillside; hate the rail post, but we do have Joel Rosario.

7 Sinai – First time down the hill, second grass start; has tactical speed to sit a decent trip throughout.

Long Shot – 4 Robbie’s War
