TODAY AT SANTA ANITA PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $33,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies, 4-year-olds

Thunder and Ice - Brian Koriner filly bottomed out the field in last; she could be loose on the lead again.

Dizzy Up the Girl - Got burned up in a speed duel last time; suspect Joel Rosario may tuck in just off the pace.

Long Shot - Our Road Scholar

Race 2 - 1 mile, Purse $16,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds

Unusual Smoke - Should be dead fit exiting 3 NoCal turf routes; Quinonez will sit a trip and grind it out late.

Turn to the King - Tepid chalk is among 3 horses that won its last start; John Sadler adds blinkers on too.

Long Shot - Cable Dancer

Race 3 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $53,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 4-year-olds and up

Band of Thunder - Has won twice since claimed by Mike Mitchell; been unlucky or he would have won more.

Talk of a Cat - Like the parking lot posts going down the hillside turf course; Gomez will time his move.

Long Shot - Goldsville

Race 4 - 1 mile, Purse $46,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Ruffled Feathers - Typical Gallagher debut, slow early, fast late; appears a natural for a 2-turn race.

Imforeal - Tepid chalk in a wide open race; Chantal Sutherland does best when nursing a real speedball.

Long Shot - Mo Cheese

Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 4-year-olds and up

Voodoo's Run - Appeared ready to win when encountered some stretch trouble; small class drop can only help.

Kaffeinator - Can visualize a Bejarano-Gomez stretch duel; big rider switch to Gomez for the money shot.

Long Shot - Pacific Halo

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $33,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Brendolyn - John Sadler has her in a terrific groove; nice post for the hill, Gomez sits a trip and fires late.

Foxy Games - She figures to be the speed of the speed; Aaron Gryder knows the turf rail is out 24 feet today.

Long Shot - Dona Amelia

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Allowance, Cal-breds, 4-year-olds and up

River Echo - Been away 9-months, but has been working well for return; key for me is Rafael Bejarano up.

It's in God's Hands - Speedball has only one way of going; he excelled at Hollywood Cushion track, nowhere else.

Long Shot - Devoted Magic

Race 8 - 1 mile, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Play Nine - Ran very well off the claim by Gary Sherluck; if she improves one step she'll be tough to handle.

Moon Moment - When Bejarano rides in a cheap race like this, there must be a good reason; watch the tote for clues.

Long Shot - Latego Light

Best Bet - Brendolyn (race 6)

Santa Anita Sunday- Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 17/6/$39.80; Long Shots, 9/1/$9.60; Best Bet, 1/0/$0
