Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $12,000, Claiming $12,500, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Da Bomb - Beaten favorite has tactical speed to sit a perfect trip; will be the one to catch in the lane.

Long Shot - Primadonna Pearl

Race 2 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $40,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Haka - Christophe Clement barn is a puzzling 0-for-12 so far this meet; we know he sent out better talent than that.

Long Shot - Woman Warrior

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 2-year-olds

Familiar Shine - Did everything but win last time as a beaten choice; each field he faces gets a little slower.

Long Shot - Asnaan

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $38,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Setsuko - If he doesn't win a race like this, he may never win; Richard Mandella adds blinkers on for the money shot.

Broken Tango - Got an education in debut for Bob Baffert; Martin Garcia lost the whip, but it didn't cost him a win.

Long Shot - B. I. Guy

Race 5 - 7 1/2 furlongs, Purse $11,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

Race 7 - 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $38,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Rainbow Goose - Has settled into a consistent, gritty turf performer; edge is a number of recent, solid efforts.
