HORSE RACING

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds

Spring Forth - Well meant colt seems to be slowly progressing; big rider switch to Joel Rosario for the money shot.

Mindblower - FTS has a big shot under Rafael Bejarano in a race full of underachievers; watch the tote board for clues.

Long Shot - Imperial Pride

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $32,000, Claiming $40,000, 4-year-olds and up

Giganticus - Like the parking lot post down the hillside turf course; Garrett Gomez puts the pedal to the metal late.

Cadillac - Dead late closer runs like he's going to get up, and he usually doesn't; still this is a very soft spot.

Long Shot - Cavanal

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $13,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Tribul Witch - Sliding down the claiming ladder where she has found new friends; Julio Canani cull may overpower them late.

Fleet Royale - Drastic class drop is a red flag, but necessary to find the winner's circle; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Long Shot - Warren's Mystery

Race 4 - 1 mile (turf), $150,000 Budweiser Arcadia Handicap, 4-year-olds and up

Battle of Hastings - Wide trip off a 3-month hiatus was too difficult to overcome in the Kilroe; rail trip plus he'll be tighter.

Compari - Speedball will find others want the same role tonight; vulnerable favorite despite the five race win streak.

Long Shot - Fluke

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds

Hennessy God - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; Julio Canani with another cheapie.

Big Wags - Another dropping in class from MSW to maiden claiming; tough opener to an inscrutable pick 6 carryover.

Long Shot - Scrutinizing Kat

Race 6 - 1 1/8th miles, $750,000 Santa Anita Derby, 3-year-olds

Sidney's Candy - The key to the race is who will challenge him early; his main limitation is how far does he want to go.

Lookin At Lucky - With the goal of the KY Derby 4-weeks away, don't expect Bob Baffert to have him fully cranked; upset time.

Long Shot - Caracortado

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $49,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 4-year-olds and up

Dance With Gable - Is 2-for-2 wins down the hill, so why stop now; in and outer is due for a powerful in effort.

Get Funky - Sliding down the class ladder to this easier assignment; hate the rail post, but he still has the talent.

Long Shot - Banner Lodge

Race 8 - 6 1/2 furlongs, $150,000 Potrero Grande, 4-year-olds and up

Ventana - Unlucky to chase Kinsale King and Bob Black Jack in last two stakes; much improved in recent stakes tries.

Sangaree - Longer odds of uncoupled Bob Baffert entry; may have found a niche as a late closing sprinter, square price.

Long Shot - Gato Go Win

Race 9 - 1 1/8th miles (turf), $150,000 Providencia, Fillies, 3-year-olds

In the Slips - Tough trip did her in last time; rider switch back to Garrett Gomez, that alone moves her up 3-lengths.

Andina - Was stuck back with In the Slips in the China Doll; both got going too late while chasing a pedestrian pace.

Long Shot - Camille C

Race 10 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $44,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Pincelada - Was well meant in debut when fighting hard to the wire; key will be if she moves forward or regresses.

Primed - Win early pedigree from a trainer not known to win early often; key vote comes from Rafael Bejarano.

Long Shot - Marrymeonemoretime

Race 11 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $22,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Magic Launch - Just missed in last off a 10-month hiatus; if she improves one step, she could crush these.

Terrify - Speedball will try and play catch me if you can; need not be much facing a rather motley crew.

Long Shot - Naughty Mariana

Best Bet - In the Slips (race 9)

Santa Anita Friday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 15/4/$28.00; Long Shots, 7/1/$8.40; Best Bet, 1/1/$4.20
