We peer deep into the heart of Texas for some great Turf action for our Superfecta Sunday.
Sam Houston Race Park Race 7 {Texas Turf Mile Stakes~1 mile~TURF~3 year-old~Stakes}
A full field of twelve will hit the Texas Turf in this featured race. There is some speed to keep the pace rolling smoothly. Speed numbers are fairly close among these sophomore runners. All but two of the entrants come in with brief freshenings. Our task is to string together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta ticket. It should be a spectacular Turf race.
#4 Billy Batts (Prat / Miller) comes in from California rested and ready to start off his New Year campaign. He holds the second highest last out speed number and three strong workouts. He is 100% in the money at this distance. A son of City Zip, he should be forwardly placed ready to strike. Definitely the one to beat.
#1 Pixelate (Geroux / Stidham) comes in from New York off a brief layoff ready to run. He holds the third highest last out speed number at a longer route and three sound workouts. This guy is 100% in the money over the surface and at the distance as well as from five career starts. Another son of City Zip, he should be tracking the pace looking for an opening.
#3 Memorable (Santana / Asmussen) continues to steadily improve. He holds the third highest speed number at the distance and three hearty peaking workouts. This guy sports a 50% in the money record from eight career starts. A son of Uncle Mo, he should track the pace closely ready to roll into the stretch. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$3 SHOW.
#7 Chimney Rock (Lanerie / Maker) is another that comes off a brief layoff with some really strong speed numbers in his last three. He holds the fourth highest last out speed number and three superb workouts. This lad is 85% in the money from seven career starts. A son of Artie Schiller, he should be forwardly placed.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)
#4 Billy Batts + #1 Pixelate + #3 Memorable + #7 Chimney Rock.

Pegasus World Cup Turf
On this Stakes Saturday we take in one of the best Turf races this year.
Gulfstream Park Race 11 {Pegasus World Cup Turf Invitational~G1~1 3/16 mile~TURF~4 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}
A fantastic group of twelve will take to the green in this world class race. There are six millionaires in the field. It comes up a little light on speed which should set up for a ferocious quickening going into the stretch. Speed figs are all very close making it a strongly competitive event. This race should exceed the expected excitement.
#12 Magic Wand [IRE] (Moore / A. O'Brien) has traveled the world over competing in some of the best races and has the bankroll to prove it. The only mare in the field, she holds the third highest (tie) last out speed number at a much longer distance. This daughter of Galileo [IRE] is primed and ready to take on this field with her tracking capabilities.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#4 Sadler's Joy (Castellano / Albertrani) is in tremendous form with the second highest (tie) last out speed number at a longer route and four hearty workouts. This guy has seven victories and is 69% in the money from twenty-six career starts. A millionaire son of Kitten's Joy, he should track and close gallantly.
$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#3 Without Parole [GB] (Dettori / C. Brown) should challenge sharing the third highest last out speed number and putting in four strong workouts in preparation for this race. He is 50% in the money from ten career starts. A son of Frankel [GB], he should be well positioned to make a nice closing run.
$1 SHOW.
#11 Sacred Life [FR] (J. Ortiz / C. Brown) will contend with a triple of decent last out speed numbers and four serious workouts. This lad is 84% in the money from thirteen career starts. A son of Siyouni [FR], he is another that will be tracking the pace ready to strike in the stretch run.

A New York Maiden Special Weight Superfecta Sunday
On this Superfecta Sunday, we take in a nice dirt route at the "Big A".
Aqueduct Race 4 {1 mile~3 year-old~Fillies~Maiden Special Weight}
A nice crop of ten young fillies will go to the gate in this New York bred race. It is a very light on speed. Speed numbers are very close. Only one gal will be making her first start. It should be a fantastic wagering event. Our task is to stitch together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket.
#1 Micromillion (J. Lezcano / Pletcher) is coming off an extended layoff and appears ready to take on this crew. She has the highest last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. A daughter of Micromanage, she will be part of the tracking herd jostling for position. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$3 SHOW.
#5 I'm Fine (Vargas / J. Englehart) should go off as the favorite with the highest speed number at the distance, although on Turf. She is coming off a modest layoff with three sound workouts. This daughter of Blame, should be ready to fire fresh among the tracking group.
#6 Wear My Ring (Carmouche / Pletcher) is a first time starter well prepped for this race with four strong workouts. With top connections, she should have a significant impact in the race. A daughter of 2007 Kentucky Derby winner Street Sense, she will love the distance.
#9 Sure Stitch (Cancel / C. Baker) is coming out of a stakes race she ran in her first start. That raced earned her the third highest last out speed number among this group. This gal has put in a couple of hearty workouts. A daughter of Giant Surprise, she should be closing swiftly in the stretch.

A Tropical Turf Stakes Saturday
We go to the Turf for our Stakes Saturday play in beautiful South Florida.
Gulfstream Park Race 10 {Tropical Turf Stakes~G3~1 mile~TURF~4 year-old Up~Graded Stakes}
A high quality group of nine will go to the green in this annual event. There is a plethora of speed which could set it up nicely for a horse coming off the pace. Speed figs are very close making this race super competitive. Only one millionaire, A Thread of Blue, goes to the gate as the probable favorite. It should be one the most exciting races this month.
#9 Exulting (I. Ortiz / Maker) could benefit from the speed demons dueling out on the front end. This lad holds the second highest (3-way tie) speed number at the distance and one high performance workout. This guy loves the distance. A son of Tapit, he will be tracking the pace.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.

$1 PLACE / $2 SHOW.
#6 Tusk (Gaffalione / Joseph) will challenge with the highest last out speed at a longer route and three speedy peaking workouts. This guy loves the distance showing a 72% in the money record at it. Another son of Tapit, he should be forwardly placed ready to roll smoothly into the stretch.
$1 SHOW.
#8 A Thread of Blue (L. Saez / McLaughlin) should go off as the favorite with the third highest last out speed number at a longer route and three sound workouts. This guy has won all three of his starts over the Gulfstream course. A son of Hard Spun, he will be a significant part of the pace.

Furlong Friday in the California Sun
Today we look at a very challenging race to handicap for our Furlong Friday.
Santa Anita Park Race 8 {5 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~3 year-old~Fillies~CA~Maiden Special Weight}
A great crop of eight will go to the gate in this grass affair. Five in the group are first time starters. Those that have raced are extremely close in terms of speed figs. Approaching a field like this requires looking at various Key Performance indicators to determine who might win and those that might be in the 10 CENT Superfecta play. Let's give this one a whirl.
#5 She's Devoted (Rosario / Baltas) is a first time starter with strong connections and a powerful peaking workout tab of four works. This daughter of Grazen, looks like she might have the edge as this group sprints out of the gate.
$2 WIN / $3 SHOW.
#2 Bella Vita (Van Dyke / S. Callaghan) is another first time starter that appears well suited for the surface and distance. This gal was a 400K purchase which far outstrips the cost of the rest of the field combined. It seems to be an indication that this filly is well intended. A daughter of Bayern, she has the chance to win at first asking.
#8 Ride Sally Ride (Cedillo / Carava) is one of three that have posted a few races. This gal appears primed to make a great effort. She holds the second highest last out speed number and three superb peaking workouts. A daughter of Creative Cause, she should be forwardly placed ready to pounce.
#3 Warren's Express (Velez / Lewis) is yet another first time starter that could surprise. She has four strong workouts in preparation for this start. This gal has strong connections that should be enough to put her into the thick of things. A daughter of Clubhouse Ride, she should enjoy the Turf immensely.
10 CENT Superfecta ($0.50)
