Horse Racing, Santa Anita Park, Jan. 15

Today at Santa Anita Park

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, 4-year-olds and up

2 Rock Off - Has run fast enough a few times to beat this bunch; Joel Rosario will sit a trip and fire fast late.

3 Dynamize - Gets the ultimate equipment change, a first time gelding; suspect will show major improvement tonight.

Long Shot - 4 World Renowned

Race 2 - 7 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

2 Mango Tart - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; takes the weight off with Eswan Flores.

3 Warren's Assassin - Like the turn back in distance from a mile; figures to sit midpack and try and grind late.

Long Shot - 5 Kvell

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $35,000, Claiming $32,000, 4-year-olds

8 Mandated Bliss - Solid class drop and switch to Rafael Bejarano; he's only winning at 17 percent, expect that to improve.

6 Evening Island - Joel Rosario had choices and opted to ride for his main man John Sadler; subtle class drop will help.

Long Shot - 3 Avulsion

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, $150,000 Santa Ynez, Fillies, 3-year-olds

3 Rowdy Gal - Is 2-for-2 and moving in the right direction; John Sadler filly has a high ceiling for sure.

2 Reneesgotzip - Figures to be way overbet off a big MSW win; was flattered when Eden's Moon airballed for Bob Baffert.

Long Shot - 4 Painted Woman

Race 5 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $26,000, Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

8 Glorified - Did everything but win last time as a beaten favorite; is capable of better and she'll need to be.

9 Carousel - Interesting price horse on a class drop for Doug O'Neill; has no early speed but should rally late.

Long Shot - 7 Platinum Mine

Race 6 - 6 furlongs, Purse $30,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 4-year-olds and up

5 Merlin Z - Adam Kitchingman taking the blinkers off; key is to try and slow him down so he can finish at the end.

7 Absolutcat - Razor sharp maiden claiming win, first time for a price tag; he found his friends and he fits well today.

Long Shot - 2 Wild Gray

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $58,000, Allowance, 4-year-olds and up

7 Oak Kye Why - Looks like lone early speed in a wide open affair; Kayla Stra is very underrated, she can ride.

2 High Test - How about a 9/2 favorite, even race or bad field?; last race was a clunker, but the two before that were good.

Long Shot - 3 Howmuchisit

Race 8 - 1 1/16th miles, $75,000 Paseana Handicap, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

6 Vision in Gold - Been away since March, but she showed she was a good one; stepping stone prep, but she may be this good.

7 Briecat - She showed resolve as a closing sprinter in last; her route races she finds herself on the lead.

Long Shot - 2 Spirit Seeker

Race 9 - 7 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

8 Nonrefundable - Woke up with a big try last time; was flattered when Stubborn Strike won next time out.

Long Shot - 4 G Ten

Best Bet - 8 Glorified (race 5)
