Race 1 – 5 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,0000, 4-year-olds and up

6 Two Parts – Showed good speed in debut before tiring late; the experience should help him in his second career start.

1 Onebadboy – He has run a few good races on dirt; hungry bugboy is stealing 5-lbs everytime he rides.

Long Shot – 2 In High Regards

Race 2 – 1 mile, Purse $31,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

6 Frenemy – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; exits a turf race for this slop fest.

4 Blazing Marino – Ran a bullet work likely with blinkers off; trying something new to wake this gelding up.

Long Shot – 3 Dante’s Storm

Race 3 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

5 Dylan Donnelly – Mike Mitchell charge ran a good dirt race two back; they all are trying slop for the first time.

4 Indicator – Should have the pedigree to handle an off track; the chances of grass racing are two, slim and none.

Long Shot – 9 Jonny’s Choice

Race 4 – 1 mile, Purse $32,000, Claiming $25,000, 4-year-olds and up

4 Belo Purse – Brazilian bred has encountered a lot of wet tracks in his career; he should relish the stuff.

2 Anna You’re Up – Mike Mitchell graduate facing winners for the first time; like that it was on dirt and has wet pedigree.

Long Shot – 6 Three Cuties

Race 6 – 7 furlongs, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, 4-year-olds and up

5 Deluxe Bus – Sliding down the claiming ladder to this career low class; he’s won 6-of-14 starts, has winning ways.

Race 7 – 1 mile, $70,000 Santana Mile, 4-year-olds and up

7 Canonize – He loves Santa Anita but is a question mark around 2-turns; exits a key race with The Factor, Sway Away and Amazombie.
