HORSE RACING

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1:20 p.m.

Race 1 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

No Due Diligence – Only two have experience and her race, by far, was better; short price facing four FTS.

Trash Master – Rafael Bejarano is one this FTS for Barry Abrams; you’ll have the edge of seeing the tote board action.

Long Shot – Spanish Ice

Race 2 – 6 furlongs (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $25,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Donas Miracle Lane – Claimed by the maestro Jerry Hollendorfer; first time on turf, but she has shown lots of ability.

Justice Is Brief – Logical chalk due to class relief out of the Las Cienegas; hate the fact she is 0-for-11 on grass.

Long Shot – Moscow Rising

Race 3 – 1 1/16th miles, Purse $28,000, Claiming $25,000, 4-year-olds and up

Frankelstein – When you’re the lone speed, you do have a competitive advantage; Joe Talamo takes him as far as he’ll go.

Gallardo – Logical chalk is taking a suspicious class drop off a win; Koriner has already won out on this recent claim.

Long Shot – Sorta Gold

Race 4 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Warrington – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; Rafael Becerra takes the blinkers off.

Warren’s Moonkross – Has been closing well from wide, parking lot posts; moves in to a middle stall, Talamo stays loyal.

Long Shot – Son of Dionisi

Race 5 – 1 1/16th miles (turf, rail at 10 feet), Purse $53,000, Allowance, 3-year-olds and up

Smooth and Savvy – His two turf tries have been above average placings; will save all the ground under clever Tyler Baze.

British Medium – Has done more on grass than anyone in the field, but has yet to race around 2-turns; will get overbet.

Long Shot – Man to Man

Race 6 – 7 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Anatolian Gold – Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; his race two back is fast enough to upset.

Ace High Hand – Logical chalk is also taking the big class drop from MSW to maiden claiming; exits a razor sharp bullet work.

Long Shot – Lunch time

Race 7 – 6 1/2 furlongs, $75,000 Captain Squire Handicap, 3-year-olds

Leonides – Ran huge in the Lone Star Derby, losing a photo to El Gato Malo; like the turn back in distance, will fire late.

Sea of Pleasure – This looks like the Jeff Mullins invitational; remember he trained Captain Squire a few years back.

Long Shot – Ten Meropa

Race 8 – 1 1/4 miles, $150,000 Beverly Hills Handicap, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Double Trouble – She was grossly overmatched in the Milady behind Zenyatta; returns to grass where she’s run her best races.

Black Mamba – Big favorite has one bad habit, she likes to run second best; figures to be way overbet with Garrett Gomez up.

Long Shot – Marzelline

Race 9 – 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Del Conte – Bob Baffert barn has quietly won a lot of races, albeit small fish purses; suspect his best horses are elsewhere.

Captain Steel – Tepid chalk in a wide open race; Clinton Potts has heated up riding first call for Jeff Mullins, a good deal.

Long Shot – Speight the Halo

Best Bet – Donas Miracle Lane (race 2)
