Horse Racing, Santa Anita Park, Jan. 26

Today at Santa Anita Park

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 – 1 mile, Purse $30,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

2 Teardrops On Fire – Has run 3 good races, now stretching out around 2-turns by Thunder Gulch, Belmont Stakes winner.

3 My Trickster – Mike Mitchell has a good resume with South Florida imports; like that Joel Rosario takes the call.

Long Shot – 4 Scream Queen

Race 2 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

1 Jaredella – Could be a Joel Rosario daily double; been second best the last 3 times out, tries 2-turns tonight.

5 Let’s Go Cheyenne – Interesting speedball from Vladimir Cerin; will enjoy the turf rail out 15 feet.

Long Shot – 2 Kissable

Race 3 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

4 Sky Diver – Has the best pedigree among these and is a FTS; the ones with experience look like a limited bunch.

2 Chilling Command – Appears fastest among those who have started; has tactical speed to sit a good trip throughout.

Long Shot – 1 Silverport

Race 4 – 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds

1 Tenacious Thomas – Beat a good group including Consulado who won next out; flashed high cheese from post 11, the rail today.

5 Unusual Heatwave – Graduated down the hill last time; good sign because those who like the hillside, tend to repeat good races.

Long Shot – 7 Tiz Point

Race 5 – 1 mile, Purse $16,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds and up

4 Uncle Greg – Tiny edge in a motley crew; he is 1-for-23 lifetime, but lots of others look much worse than him.

9 Emperor Stone – Only for forgiving handicappers; was eased in last, but his prior races are OK and these are his friends.

Long Shot – 7 Sentry Duty

Race 6 – 7 furlongs, Purse $31,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

8 Visible Marq – Bob Baffert cull is sliding down the maiden claiming ladder; chased uncoupled stablemate Sir Allison last out.

3 Towering – A second Mike Mitchell Florida import on the card; if My Trickster wins race 1, keep a closer eye on this guy.

Long Shot – 9 Congrats Ski

Race 7 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

2 Bwana Babe – Steve Asmussen import looks to be the speed of the speed; Corey Nakatani breaks on top, plays catch me if you can.

4 Miss Radiance – Tried to overcome a poor start in last to no avail; will have an easier task with an average beginning.

Long Shot – 5 Screaming Regal

Race 8 – 6 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

10 Babessa – Key for me is Rafael Bejarano returns despite and awful looking line; suspect she’ll improve a lot tonight.

6 Warren’s Performer – Ran well as a beaten favorite from post 10 in last; draws midrange and has speed to carve out his own trip.

Long Shot – 8 Creston Cutie

Best Bet – 1 Tenacious Thomas (race 4)
