Horse Racing: Today at Santa Anita, Oct. 16

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, 3-year-olds and up

2 Boss Cat - Claimed by Mark Glatt at Del Mar; first thing he does is geld him, which is the ultimate equipment change.

4 Coolington - Run for $30K which is lower than his claim price of $40K; big rider switch to Rafael Bejarano for the money shot.

Long Shot - 1 The Twelfth Man

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $60,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

1 Bettys Bambino - Explosive win down the hill in last, wire to wire; loves Santa Anita grass and the hillside course.

4 Surfcoup - Leap of faith that Bob Baffert will have his ready; been away since July 2013, Baffert rarely runs short horses.

Long Shot - 6 Jules Journey

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $26,000, Claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up

6 Kafister - Returns in a no claim spot and with top rider Rafael Bejarano; David Bernstein doesn’t have many bullets to fire.

5 Senor Rain - Is a proven commodity here in Arcadia; has shown he can run well with or without the early lead.

Long Shot - 2 Awesome Indy

Race 4 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 30 feet), Purse $1 mile, Purse $45,000, Claiming $50,000, 3-year-olds

1 Number Five - Steep class drop makes this one a must use in exotics; saves all the ground and should come grinding late.

6 Sir Macho - Got a feeling this Bill Spawr claim is ready to run a good race; hasn’t done a thing since claimed three races ago.

Long Shot - 3 Tosheen

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

7 Heat the Rocks - Have confidence that a second time out Jerry Hollendorfer will improve; chance in a wide open affair.

3 Niassa - Ran OK for third in career debut; Kathy Walsh doesn’t have much stock, but she surely knows how to train a race horse.

Long Shot -4 Patsy G and Me

Race 6 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 30 feet), Purse $32,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

8 Trelawny - Should be able to contend on memory alone; was overmatched in last and still only lost by a length.

6 Greeley Awesome - Huge change since last is he’s a first time gelding; ran awful first race off the claim by Bill Spawr.

Long Shot - 2 Swift Eagle

Race 7 - 6 furlongs, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $20,000, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Bonus Spin - Gets class relief from a stakes race for this first level condition; sharp MSW win two races ago.

1 Steel Lady - Has shown marked improvement with each of her three career starts; moves from parking lot post 10 to the rail today.

Long Shot - 9 Seeking Shamrocks

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

8 Hollywood Royalty - The ones with experience don’t look like much; I’m using a couple of FTS who have something to prove.

9 Ina Mina - Sliding down the maiden claiming ladder to the bottom; this field isn’t much, so a repeat race gives him some chance.

Long Shot - 11 Key to the Gold

Best Bet - 6 Kafister (race 3)

Santa Anita Sunday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 16/4/$31.60; Long Shots, 8/2/$22.80; Best Bet, 1/1/$4.60
