4 Miles Heir - Claimed by Vann Belvoir who is winning at a gaudy 32 percent first time out for the new barn.

Long Shot - 3 Trumpet Player jay

Race 2 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

7 Tiz a Brite Miss - Suspect will sit a trip today under patient Alonso Quinonez; this primary speed is to her inside.

3 Propero - Mike Mitchell cull has dropped down the this bottom maiden claiming level; expect Martin Garcia to send hard early.

Long Shot - 8 La Sancha

2 Red Defense - Claimed by Adam Kitchingman off a sharp win last out; has more than enough back class to duplicate the effort.

6 Mandated Bliss - Mike Mitchell drop down finally found a level to win at; takes a subtle class rise, but he has back class too.

Long Shot - 3 The Great Caper

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

2 Dime Piece - Two good seconds, now appears ready for graduation day; this looks like a potential live key baby race.

Long Shot - 4 Distracting

Race 5 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

7 Kumite - Tepid chalk has sliding Beyer speed figures off the claim by Kristin Mulhall; he's got a big shot if he runs his best.

4 Soi Phet - Like the turn back in distance from 2-turn route to elongated sprint; suspect will be firing best in the deep stretch.

Long Shot - 5 Member Ofthe Tribe

Race 6 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $52,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

9 Blu Jon - This horse has two things going that I love; he is cutting back in distance and parked outside in an elongated sprint.

Long Shot - 1 Autumn View

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, $150,000 Hollywood Oaks, Fillies, 3-year-olds

4 Eden's Moon - Expect short odds on one of the leaders in the division; draw a line thru the KY Oaks debacle, she is legit.

1 Willa B Awesome - Though she won by only a nose in the Melair, it was a much slower race than in the Santa Anita Oaks.

Long Shot - 7 Via Villaggio

Race 9 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

4 Aunt Gert - Julio Canani puts up the shingle by dropping her to the bottom rung; need not be much to crush this motley crew.
