HORSE RACING

TODAY AT SANTA ANITA PARK

By Richard Eng

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $26,000, Claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

Black Jack Attack - Ran a miserable race last time off the claim by Mitchell; chance to redeem on the class big drop.

Political Maneuver - Speedball got torched last time like a meteor passing thru the atmosphere; slower pace will help.

Long Shot - Ghostrapper

Race 2 - 1 mile (turf), Purse $57,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Costume - Would not be shocked to see Frankel win multiple races on the card; filly gets big time class relief facing these.

Carmel Coffee - She would be undefeated except for a super filly named Zenyatta; has pedigree to make turf debut a good one.

Long Shot - Seven Steps

Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, $250,000 Santa Maria Handicap, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Tough Tiz's Sis - She finally doesn't have to face a heavyweight; draw a line thru the BC Distaff and her resume looks good.

Dawn After Dawn - Was well meant in the El Encino, when her saddle slipped under Gomez; chance to rebound at a square price.

Long Shot - Double Trouble

Race 4 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Soothing Touch - Like the turn back in distance for going down the hillside course; might be the day to put it all together.

Burnt - You'll know better than me if this filly is taking a lot of action; Frankel has been patient and she has pedigree.

Long Shot - Pegasus Lady

Race 5 - 7 furlongs, Purse $52,000, Allowance, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

Renagade Ruby - I don't typically pick MSW graduates facing winners, but she was impressive; tactical speed to sit a trip.

Tizzy's Tune - Has lost two gut wrenching decisions in a row, albeit a year apart; should be fully mature to step forward.

Long Shot - Lochinvar's Gold

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $48,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Rate of Exchange - No exaggeration she would have won by 5-lengths if not bothered in the lane; figures to get way overbet.

Decorator - Made a late move inside to just miss; was able to avoid the trouble that affected many others in the race.

Long Shot - Interior Design

Race 7 - 1 mile, $250,000 Las Virgenes, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Lovely Isle - She was sent to Frankel after an pathetic try at Gulfstream; she's better than that and well see why in here.

Golden Doc A - She's not spectacular, but a grinder who seldom runs a bad race; chance to get a big piece at the very end.

Long Shot - Grace Anatomy

Race 8 - 1 1/8th miles, $250,000 San Antonio Handicap, 4-year-olds and up

Student Council - Would be ultra confident in him if not for the break in training at SA; proved he was legitimate last fall.

Awesome Gem - He's a very nice horse but with a tendency to finish second in big races; showed he likes the synthetic surfaces.

Long Shot - Rathor

Race 9 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf), Purse $52,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 4-year-olds and up

Mast Track - Flattered by Monterrey Jazz continuing his winning ways; dead late closer should relish rallying down the hill.

Specalist Morgen J - Chance to redeem himself at a square price; don't mind the parking lot post going down the hillside course.

Long Shot - Switzerland

Race 10 - 6 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds

Quityerbellyaching - Didn't run much off the claim by Sadler; his debut was good, he's dropped in class and Bejarano takes over.

Bad Big Al - Another taking the biggest class drop in racing, from MSW to maiden claiming; need not be much to compete in here.

Long Shot - Crimson Dynamo

Best Bet - Tough Tiz's Sis (race 3)
