Horse Racing, Santa Anita Park, Feb. 9

Today at Santa Anita Park

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 – 7 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

2 Belle Gallantey – Her run for a $30K price tag two back is fast enough to beat these; these are clearly her friends.

5 Warren’s Assassin – Been stuck at this $30K price tag for some time; key vote is that Rafael Bejarano takes the call.

Long Shot – 1 Singmeasong

Race 2 – 1 mile, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds

5 Fed Biz – When a Bob Baffert baby costs $950K, big things are expected; flattered when Zackn’mat won his next out.

1 Consulado – Impressive MSW winner takes on the Bob Baffert graduate; love the rail post going a 2-turn mile.

Long Shot – 3 Blueskiesnrainbows

Race 3 – 1 mile, Purse $27,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds

1 Rude Bobby – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; ran better with blinkers on in last.

5 Dream Caught – Been disappointing since a promising career debut; might be able to rebound at an honest price.

Long Shot – 3 I Feel Free

Race 4 – 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 30 feet), Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

6 Bella Swan – Claimed by Mike Mitchell, one of the best bet angles in SoCal; he’s faving, for him, a slow meet so far.

1 Bellini Bliss – Like the rail post to save all the ground and grind it out late; proven to prefer grass surface.

Long Shot – 4 Rosehill Dew

Race 5 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

5 Missie Ky I You – Sliding down the maiden claiming ladder to this career low class; need not be much to handle these.

7 Rags for Ben – Woke up last time for a career best race; could be reuniting her with Chantal Sutherland.

Long Shot – 6 Hey I’m Sobaa

Race 6 – 7 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Claiming $10,000, 4-year-olds and up

8 Hasty Trend – Sliding down the claiming ladder to this career low class; key vote is Rafael Bejarano taking the call.

10 Brady Blue Eyes – Won last out when dropped down to the bottom; he has plenty of back class to repeat the race.

Long Shot – 5 Clear to Canada

Race 7 – 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 30 feet), Purse $63,000, Allowance, 4-year-olds and up

2 Sayif – Let’s try this speedball with the turf rail out 30 feet; simple tactics for French rider Freddie Lenclud.

9 Pressday – Like the parking lot post for this Aussie import; John Sadler does great with imports, especally on grass.

Long Shot – 5 Leroy’s Dynameaux

Race 8 – 6 furlongs, Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, 4-year-olds and up

6 Cyclometer – Ran well in debut back at the fall SA meet; speedball outran his pedigree, exiting a bullet workout.

Best Bet – 2 Belle Gallantey (race 1)
