HORSE RACING

TODAY AT SANTA ANITA PARK

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 7 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Miss Olivia K - Ran fine in debut, now gets a big rider switch to Joel Rosario for the money shot; extra ground will help too.

Akeela - Claimed by Mike Mitchell, reason enough to respect her chances; showed big improvement in second career start.

Long Shot - Sheskey

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Claiming $16,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Cenizo - If Miss Olivia K wins race 1, this girl's stock soars in race 2; speedball in last, better as a closing sprinter.

Right To Work - Tepid chalk in a difficult heat; has speed to lead, but has won before coming from off the pace.

Long Shot - Such Fortune

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $46,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Rosey de Megeve - Was closing fast in last, now switches to Joe Talamo; flattered when Bella Roja won her next time out.

Silver Games - U.S. debut from a live import barn in Ben Cecil; first time with Lasix, was consistent on grass in England.

Long Shot - Oui Say Oui

Race 4 - 7 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds

Duke of Aspen - Appears best among many taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming.

Maybe Yes - Leap of faith that despite a miserable race in last, Garrett Gomez agrees to ride; will be finishing.

Long Shot - Letsgetitright

Race 5 - 7 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Neeko - After knocking her head against good open company, this is welcome class relief; again, the vote of Garrett Gomez.

Sandy Cheeks - Barry Abrams adds blinker on for this; parking lot post is not a problem in this elongated sprint.

Long Shot - Gambling Pokerface

Race 6 - 1 mile, Purse $48,000, Optional claiming $80,000, 3-year-olds

Thomas Baines - Gets class relief from 3 stakes for this; backs up in distance, figures to find his best stride late.

Bulldogger - Sure to be way overbet; has two main obstacles, been away 6-months and tries 2-turns for the first time.

Long Shot - Timbavati

Race 7 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $56,000, Optional claiming $100,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

You Lift Me Up - Third race in his form cycle off a 3-month hiatus can be his best; best races came under Joel Rosario.

Century Park - Another in a positive form cycle, third start off a 3-month hiatus; exits bullet works for Bob Baffert.

Long Shot - Chasin Dreams

Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Claiming $10,000, 4-year-olds and up
