Happy New Year to all. May 2012 be a particularly profitable one for you!
Happy Birthday to our Equine heros.
We begin our three year old season today by taking in a sprint race at luxurious Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park Race 9 {Old Hat~G3~6 furlongs~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
An excellent field of eight will make their way to the gate. There is a significant amount of speed in this race so it make give an edge to those coming off the pace.
#4 Sacristy (Desormeaux / Catalano) looks well prepped with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three mighty, peaking workouts. She could track the pace and make her move in the stretch.
$2 SHOW.
#2 Say A Novena (Trujillo / Plesa) will challenge with a pressing attack. She holds the highest speed number at the distance and is coming off a route with three athletic workouts. This gal should be a top contender.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#8 Quick Flip (Maragh / Pompay) will share speed duties in this race with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and one stout workout. She will need to tamp down the pace to score her fourth victory in a row.
#6 Awesome Belle (Saez / Gold) is coming off a route with two bullet workouts. She has the second highest speed number over the surface and is 100% in the money over fast dirt. A steady pressing run could get her a piece in this one.
10 CENT Superfecta
#4 Sacristy / #2 Say A Novena / #8 Quick Flip / #6 Awesome Belle.

Santa Anita for Stakes Saturday
The final Stakes Saturday of 2011. It should be a great one.
Santa Anita Race 8 {La Brea~G1~7 furlongs~3 year old~fillies~Stakes}
A superb field of nine will make the start in this annual. With one clear favorite and several worthy challengers, this race will be an exciting one.
#2 Turbulent Descent (D. Flores / Puype) will be the favorite and appears ready to fill that role to maximum effect. She holds the highest (tie) last out speed number and has put in four robust, peaking workouts. She is the one to beat.
$2 WIN.
#3 May Day Rose (M. Garcia / Baffert) will provide some of the speed in the race. She has a win at this distance with the second highest speed number. Her last out speed number is the third highest (tie), has a three race progression, and has put in four excellent, peaking workouts. She will need to hold off the trackers and closers.
$2 SHOW.
#8 California Nectar (Berrios / O'Neill) appears to be ready to contend with the fourth highest last out speed number at a longer sprint and one peaking workout. She is two for two at this distance. This gal could surprise and deserves our bronze horseshoe.
