Cal Today, BC 2011 Tomorrow

Thursday.  The start of one of the greatest horse racing weekends of the year.  Today we take a look at a nice Turf race at Santa Anita; tomorrow a few races of Breeder's Cup 2011.

Santa Anita Race 7 {1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Optional Claiming}
A closely matched field of eight will step onto the grass for this one.  All have been adequately prepped for the race with strong workouts.  This field has nice balance in terms of racing styles.  It should be a good race.

#1 Princess Suances (Blanc / Vienna) has a solid edge if she can control the pace.  She is a speedster and will most assuredly be motoring on the front end.  She had a decent last out speed number in her sole start this year and has put in three fantastic workouts. This gal could wire the field.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Ruffled Feathers (Pedroza / Blincoe) will challenge with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and four sensational, peaking workouts.  She holds the top speed number at the distance and has two wins over the Santa Anita course.  Watch her to close swiftly.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#7 Glorified [GB] (Talamo / Callaghan) will be a clear contender with the highest last out speed number at a longer route, a three race progression, and three superb, peaking workouts.  She could track and close into a nice piece of the purse pie.

#6 So Belle [GB] (Berrios / Cecil) should be in the hunt with the second highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and one determined bullet workout.  She should be forwardly placed ready to make her move in the stretch.

10 CENT Superfecta
