Santa Anita Race 7 {1 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies~Allowance}
A great group of eight fillies will prance onto the grass for this allowance feature. There is a little bit of speed to keep the pace honest. Should the also eligible, #9 Pussycat Lips [IRE], draw in, she will be the one to beat. Nonetheless, a terrific race should unfold.
#5 Secret Motive (M. Garcia / Canani) has the tactical speed to stay up front and perhaps wire the field. She holds the fourth highest last out speed number and has put in two robust workouts. This gal has also notched a win at this distance posting the third highest speed number of this group.

Oaklawn Park Race 8 {1 mile~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A modest field of eight will go to the gate in this allowance feature. There is a good smattering of speed while the rest of the group likes to come from off the pace. All of the gals entered in here are coming off layoffs. Some short, some long. It should be a good race.
#2 Amazing Shoes (Ocampo / Ritter) is coming off an extended layoff holding the second highest last out speed number, working a two race progression, and has put in three stellar, peaking workouts. She looks ready to improve off the layoff with her tactical speed.

Superfecta Sunday at Santa Anita
First, Congratulations to Jim Benes (Illinois, USA) on winning the handicapping crown in the 2013 Daily Racing Form / National Thoroughbred Racing Association National Handicapping Championship. Nice pay day!!!
Today we look towards California for a simple six furlong Superfecta Sunday race.
Santa Anita Race 8 {6 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
An equally matched field of eight will go to the gate. This race comes up with a ton of speed. The gal that can back off the pedal a little and wait for the pace to develop has the best chance of winning it. We will attempt to fashion a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket utilizing four that have a chance for victory.
#2 Splendid Fortune (Talamo / Baffert) is coming off an extended layoff holding the highest last out speed number as well as the highest speed number at the distance. She was working a two race progression before the layoff and has put in four sensational workouts in the last 30 days. She is a speedster that resort to a tracking running style if need be.
#6 Twelve Folds (M. Garcia / Machowsky) looks ready to take another step forward with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two solid works. She could find herself in a pressing mode ready to challenge in the stretch. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#1 Egg Drop (Gomez / Mitchell) has proven herself before after an extended layoff. She has been away for a time, but holds the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four superb workouts. She could be the big beneficiary of an exceptionally hot pace.
#5 Royal Tiger (Bejarano / Eurton) could surprise with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a three race progression, and two athletic works. She appears to have the best tactical speed to make a good run of it.

Stakes Saturday, Holy Bull !!
We come to that part of the week where horse players everywhere immerse themselves in the past performances to find a break-out horse. It is Stakes Saturday. Today we take a look at a KD 139 prep race, The Holy Bull.
Gulfstream Park Race 10 {Holy Bull~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year olds~Stakes}
An excellent crop of ten Kentucky Derby hopefuls will make the start in this annual stakes contest. There is a large contingent of forwardly placed runners; speedsters coupled with pressers. Many in here have great tactical speed which will allow them to sit and wait for the developing pace. A great stakes race for a Saturday in January.
#1 Shanghai Bobby (Napravnik / Pletcher) will be the overwhelming favorite and this winner of the Breeders Cup Juvenile deserves the support. He is undefeated in five career starts and has the speed to lead this field. This son of Harlan's Holiday holds the fourth highest speed number at the distance and has put in four superb workouts. This guy will be the one to beat. Two stats to consider however are a) There is sufficient speed in the race to keep him honest and b) It is tough for a horse to keep a winning race after race competing at this level. Still he has had a good rest since his last out. There will be little value for a wager on him though.
NO Wager.
#2 Frac Daddy (Cohen / McPeek) could surprise the field with the fourth highest last out speed number and four robust workouts. He holds the highest speed number at this distance. This son of Scat Daddy should be forwardly placed ready to make his move going into the stretch.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#3 Clearly Now (Saez / Lynch) should be in contention with the third highest last out speed number and four strong, peaking workouts. This guy can show speed or press the pace as things develop. A son of Horse Greeley, he holds the third highest speed at the distance.
$1 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#5 Sr. Quisqueyano (Rosario / Oliveras) could be the bomber in this race with the second highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two stout workouts. This son of Exclusive Quality could find himself mid-pack tracking a hot pace and then exploding in the stretch. He should be a fascinating one to watch.

Other Wagering Interests

#1 Big Blue Spirit [GB] (Castanon / Darrin Miller) should be in the hunt coming off a longer route and having a couple of decent last out speed numbers. This guy is 100% in the money in six career starts. He could track the pace evenly and strike at the top of the stretch.

The horse racing weekend is capped off with Superfecta Sunday. Today we examine a nice Turf mile at gorgeous Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park Race 8 {1 mile~TURF~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A fine field of nine fillies and mares will step onto the grass for this allowance feature. The race comes up short on pure speed, but is high on tactical speed.

An Aqueduct Friday
Another Friday rolls up on us. We look to the East for a nice route race.
Aqueduct Race 8 {1 mile 70 yards~3 year old~fillies~NY~Optional Claiming}
A precocious field of seven fillies will enter the gate for this dirt route. No evidence of any speed in this field. It could turn out to be nice gallop around the track with a quickening toward the finish. This race should be a decent one to watch.
#2 Frosty Bay (Dominguez / Schettino) might have the edge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two modest workouts. She will track the pace and fire up in the stretch.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.
#6 Carameaway (J. Ortiz / Friedman) could improve with the highest (tie) last out speed number and two peaky workouts. She has raced well over the surface showing a 75% in the money record in four races. Count on her to challenge using a tiny bit of speed.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#1 My Favorite Two (Alvarado / Zito) will be a contender sharing the highest last out speed number, showing a two race progression, and putting in three robust workouts. She is one that likes to come from off the pace and should do so again.

A New Year of Horse Racing 2013
Happy New Year.
Happy Birthday to all of the marvelous Thoroughbreds.
We begin the first horse racing weekend of the New Year with a nice little Turf sprint.
Gulfstream Park Race 4 {5 furlongs~TURF~4 year old Up~Optional Claiming}
A modest field of eight will journey onto the grass. Yes, there is speed which brings opportunity to a tracker to get the job done. Half the field in here has had decent to extended layoffs. It should be the first of many exciting races this year.
#3 Big Notion (J. Garcia / Jackson) has a slim edge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout. He should be able to track the pace and close well.
$1 WIN / $1 SHOW.
#2 Determinato (Saez / White) has enough tactical speed to stay close and unleash in the stretch. He holds the second highest speed number at the distance and has put in four strong peaking workouts coming off a longer sprint in his last out. This lad should challenge.
$1 PLACE / $1 SHOW.
#7 Awakino Cat (J. Velazquez / Rice) could surprise with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer sprint and two stable workouts. This old guy could still have some left in him with his tracking/closing style.
$1 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#8 Cajun Breeze (Leyva / Yates) will be in the mix with the highest last out speed number and a two race progression. He holds the third highest speed number at the distance. A nice tracking style should suit him well in this race.
