Thursday has arrived and once again the horse racing weekend begins. Hopefully we will have a sunny day at both Gulfstream and Santa Anita, the jewels of Magna Entertainment.
Gulfstream Race 8 {1 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
This shapes up to be an extremely competitive event. There are four main entrants and one MTO (main track only) that could easily take it. A very slight edge goes to Toocleverforwords (Castro / McGaughey) who shares the top speed number at the distance along with Finish In Style (Maragh / Nihei). Toocleverforwords is also coming down in distance with two good workouts. Finish In Style is also coming off a longer route with two better workouts. Both also have great last out speed numbers. Bramalea (Leparoux / Wilkes) has the highest last out speed number, running a longer route coupled with three fabulous workouts. Others that will factor in to the race and could come out with a victory include: Obsequious (Castanon / Cray), Granted Tiger (C. Velasquez / Jerkens), Le Caire (Lezcano / Brown) and MTO entrant, Flying Spur (Desormeaux / Mott). All have sufficient workouts to show improvement in this race. All will challenge our top three picks. Hoping this will stay on the Turf. Let's give Gulfstream a try.
$2 SHOW: #1 Toocleverforwords
$2 SHOW: #5 Bramalea
10 CENT Superfecta: #1 Toocleverforwords / #5 Bramalea / #3 Finish In Style / #6 Granted Tiger, #11 Le Caire, #4 Obsequious.
Santa Anita Race 7 {6 1/2 furlongs~3 year old~Allowance}
This will be a great race to watch with speedsters galore. Domonation (Bejarano / Sadler) has the edge with a nice closing run. He shows the highest speed number at the distance with two strong workouts. Like his chances. Lions Story (Rosario / Hollendorfer) will run near the front with the speedsters. He sports a nice last out speed number, a three race progression, and three sturdy workouts. Winter Camp (Pedroza / Sise) should be the lone speedster to hang on for a piece of the purse with two robust workouts and a very handsome in the money record overall, on the surface and at the distance. Hurricane Ike (Talamo / Sadler) will be running late, but may need more distance. Let's play Santa Anita.
$2 SHOW: #5 Domonation
$2 SHOW: #4 Lions Story
10 CENT Superfecta: #5 Domonation / #4 Lions Story / #9 Winter Camp / #2 Hurricane Ike.
