Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $50,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Alpine Yodel - Appears capable of being lone speed, the most dangerous play in racing; catch me if you can.

Catsalot - Her last 3 turf races are all fast enough to put her right there; Brice Blanc sits for one brush.

Long Shot - Win Allison Win

Race 2 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $16,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Zaina - Shows steady improvement with each start; appears ready to jump up and get her cap and gown today.

Race 3 - 1 3/4 miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), $100,000 Round Table Handicap, 3-year-olds and up

Porfido - Tactical speed which is useful at this marathon distance; sticks close to the early leaders.

Obrigado - This is the softest spot he's seen in a long time; should have no excuses this afternoon.

Long Shot - Plug Me In

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Juice Committee - Ran like a short horse in his debut for Carla Gaines; her babies typically improve with racing.

Long Shot - Ashley's Cutie

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $19,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds and up

Mi Rey - May have need more ground in last and gets it tonight; he's won out already for Doug O'Neill.

Conclave - Chalk has been away 14-months for Julio Canani; very consistent, proven at this level.

Long Shot - Storm Machine

Digestivo - Runs first time for a price tag for the maestro Jerry Hollendorfer; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Long Shot - Malusita

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

Gallatin's Run - Good education in debut; she figures to be a lot tougher with experience under his belt.

Long Shot - A Lil Dumaani

Race 9 - 1 1/8th miles, $250,000 Californian, 3-year-olds and up

Song of Navarone - The field is jammed with early speed; I'm banking on a major upset by a dead late closer.
