Horse Racing: Today at Santa Anita, Feb. 15

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

5 Explicable - Ran solid third in career debut at Del Mar; she faced much tougher group and figures to dominate here.

2 Enchanted Fortune - Exits career topper last out; looks like soon-to-be Bob Baffert cull as she isn’t particularly fast.

Long Shot - 3 Kahana

Race 2 - 1 mile, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

6 Marla Hooch - Pulverizing victory last time over similar foes; has back class such that she looks capable of repeating.

1 Lucky to Stay Home - Her last two wins were over Tapeta synthetics; has a strong dirt resume and is in top form now.

Long Shot - 4 Acute

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $40,000, Claiming $40,000, Fillies, 4-year-olds

5 Lotta Attitude - Has progressed rapidly since claimed by Ron Ellis four races ago; showing good ability on turf or dirt.

3 Seeking Shamrocks - Draw line through her last turf debacle and her resume looks fine; fast enough to compete with these.

Long Shot - 2 Spy Girl

Race 4 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 4-year-olds and up

5 Lucky J Lane - Perfect-trip win in last where didn’t leave rail; facing tougher group but appears up to task.

6 Royal Banker - Class relief from six stakes races for this first-level condition; if you’re looking for upsetter, look no further.

Long Shot - 2 Opsec

Race 5 - 1 1/16 miles, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

1 Starzilla - Draws rail and has chance to be lone early speed; just missed last time in his first race for price tag.

8 Crucero - Claimed by Keith Desormeaux, making him stablemate of Texas Red; claimed for $50K and run back for $20K, red flag.

Long Shot - 7 He’s a Real Keeper

Race 6 - 6½ furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

4 Gouyen - Ran in Evening Jewel as maiden versus winners; returns to MSW class and should show much better in here.

11 Mad Melinda - Like that Rafael Bejarano has taken call; he’s been riding for Richard Baltas, and that leads to many wins.

Long Shot - 6 Charming Starlet

Race 7 - 1 mile, Purse $20,000, Claiming $16,000, 4-year-olds and up

5 American Act - Has been claimed in three straight races; now with Michael Pender, he hires HOFer Kent Desormeaux to ride.

7 Rainbow North - Another racing just off claim, this one by Jack Carava; he is good trainer but hasn’t had much stock of late.

Long Shot - 4 Jackson Sundown

Race 8 - 6½ furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), $75,000 Baffle, 3-year-olds

2 Bench Warrant - No shame losing by two lengths to Lord Nelson and Texas Red; no such animals here today, so expect much better.

6 Jazzy Josh - Another graduate of San Vicente, but was monster long shot; second start off claim by George Papaprodromou.

Long Shot - 4 Serbian Syclone

Race 9 - 5½ furlongs, Purse $31,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 3-year-olds

5 Gold Journey - Best race of her career came over Santa Anita soil two races ago; Kathy Walsh is hoping that will turn trick.

8 Bert’s Baby - Taking biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; turf race was not nearly as good as her dirt try.

Long Shot - 9 Racing Hope

Best Bet - 5 Lotta Attitude (race 3)
