Our first Superfecta Sunday of 2013. We take a peek at an allowance race at that beautiful course in South Florida, Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Park Race 9 {1 mile~4 year old Up~Allowance}
A good field of nine will make the start in this feature allowance race. This one comes up as a competitive race with a nice assortment of running styles. Our task will be to stitch together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#3 Tiz Yankee (Lezcano / Zito) will be one of the speedsters in the race trying to dictate the pace. He holds the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two diligent workouts. He also holds the highest speed number over the Gulfstream track. Could be the one to beat.
#7 Suns Out Guns Out (Lanerie / Romans) will challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and two solid workouts. Expect him to stay close pressing the pace. He definitely likes the Gulfstream track.
#2 Street Thug (J. Velazquez / R. Dutrow) is another speedster looking to control the pace with the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression prior to an extended layoff and five superb workouts. He is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#9 Reload (Castellano / McGaughey) should be able to take advantage of furious pace with the fourth highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four satisfying workouts. He should have a terrific closing kick.

Coast to Coast Stakes Saturday
For the first Stakes Saturday of the year we take a look at a couple of graded ones on each of America's great coasts.
Aqueduct Race 8 {Jerome~G2~1 mile 70 yards~3 year olds~Stakes}
A fine field of eight Kentucky Derby aspirants will gallop out for the start in this annual race. There is no evidence of any speedsters, but half the field likes to be forwardly placed. It may be one of the pressers that leads the group to the finish.
#2 Vyjack (C. Velasquez / Rodriguez) looks to move up in distance with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout. He could be the presser that leads the pack to the wire. He will be making his third career start after two victories.
$1 WIN / $2 PLACE / $3 SHOW.
#1 Siete de Oros (Arroyo / Preciado) will surprise with the third highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two stout workouts. This guy will come a closing into a fluid pace.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#3 Long River (Ortiz / McLaughlin) should present a strong challenge with the fourth highest last out speed number and two superb workouts. He should be forwardly placed waiting to strike in the stretch run.
#5 Notacatbutallama (Dominguez / Pletcher) is another well prepared with a couple of strong last out speed numbers and two robust workouts. He should track the pace and explode through the stretch.
10 CENT Superfecta
#2 Vyjack / #3 Long River / #1 Siete de Oros, #5 Notacatbutallama / #1, #5.
Santa Anita Park Race 7 {San Pasqual~G2~1 1/16 mile~4 year olds Up~Stakes}
A small, but talented field of six will make the start in this annual stakes race. Speedsters and pressers seem to have filled this race. It should be an exciting route.
#6 Coil (M. Garcia / Baffert) has the edge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three sensational workouts. This guy loves the Santa Anita ground and will use it to his advantage. Expect him to mount a pressing attack.
$2 WIN / $3 SHOW.
#5 John Scott (Espinoza / Gaines) could surprise with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four excellent workouts. He has supreme tactical speed to deploy and sports the third highest speed number at the distance.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#4 Ultimate Eagle (Pedroza / Pender) should be in the hunt with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a two race progression, and three swift workouts. He should be the speed of the race that holds on for a piece of the purse pie.
#1 Jaycito (Leparoux / Baffert) looks well enough to win with the second highest last out speed number at this very distance, a two race progression, and two hardy workouts. He could track the pace enjoying the run on a track he relishes.

Santa Anita Superfecta Sunday
We close out our horse racing weekend with a downhill Turf race at beautiful Santa Anita.
Santa Anita Race 8 {Daytona~G3~6 1/2 furlongs~downhill TURF~4 year old Up~Stakes}
A fantastic field of seven, heavy with speed, will make their start in this race. There are a few in here that could win. The race may set up with the speedy types going forward in a wicked pace. We will look at the top contenders to formulate a 10 CENT Superfecta Box.
#2 Mr. Gruff (Rosario / Ellis) looks very strong sharing the highest speed number at the distance, having two triple digit last out speed numbers, and three superb workouts. He is quite capable of pulling off the victory.
#6 Regally Ready (Nakatani / Asmussen) shares the highest speed number at the distance, has the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four athletic workouts. This Breeder's Cup champ could find himself once again in the winners circle.
#4 Caracortado (Bejarano / Machovsky) is a champ trying the downhill Turf for the first time. He has put in four exceptional, peaking workouts in preparation for the race. Should the speed heat up to boiling point, watch him to pick up the pieces.
The first three of our 10 CENT Superfecta Box are fairly straight forward taking in fundamentals such as Best Works, Highest Last Out Speed, and Highest Speed at the Distance. The final runner of the four is a little harder.
#1 Calimonco (Smith / Sadler) has a solid workout tab. He is also coming off a route race. #3 Victory Pete (M. Garcia / Barba) looks ready with two significant last out speed numbers, a four race progression, and three hearty, peaking workouts. He could be a factor. #7 Al Instante (Krigger/Cardenas) [CHI] holds the third highest speed number at the distance and has put in four superlative, peaking workouts. We have settled on:
#5 Silver Summation (Gomez / Puype) who is a nicely improving horse with a couple of decent last out speed numbers, a five race progression, and two robust workouts. The jockey-trainer combination as well as the speediness of the race could help this guy has he makes his way through the stretch. We toss a bronze horseshoe to him.

Stakes Saturday at Santa Anita
There is no better horse racing backdrop in the nation than the mountain ranges near beautiful Santa Anita. Let's take in two stakes races at that wonderful place.
Santa Anita Race 3 {Sham~G3~1 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A very light, but extraodinarily talented field of six will make their start in one of the annual derby trail races. A good amount of speed may make way for one coming off the pace.
#3 Hierro (Leparoux / Asmussen) has been tremendously managed and looks to make a great improvement in this grade three race. He holds the third highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four superb, peaking workouts. He could track the speedy pace and make a strong run in the stretch.
$2 WIN / $2 SHOW.
#4 Secret Circle (Bejarano / Baffert) will be the overwhelming favorite as the Breeder's Cup sprint champ. He has done nothing wrong in his three race career, all wins. Among this field he has the highest last out speed number and has put in four stellar, peaking workouts. He will need to be caught.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#5 Longview Drive (Rosario / Hollendorfer) will be among the challengers seeking to score a piece of the purse with an o.k. last out speed number at a longer route and four athletic workouts.
#2 Out of Bounds (Gomez / Harty) could be the big surprise here with the fourth highest last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. He could be one of the tracker/closers that could benefit from a torrid pace.
10 CENT Superfecta
#3 Hierro / #4 Secret Circle / #5 Longview Drive / #2 Out of Bounds.
Santa Anita Race 8 {San Pasquale~G2~1 1/16 mile~4 year old Up~Stakes}
A high quality field of eight will venture onto the track for this annual affair. A little speed, a few pressers, a number of trackers, and a closer should make this race exciting. This field is exceptionally strong and could yield any one of these a trip to the winners circle.
#4 Tweebster (Bejarano / Baffert) has an edge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four excellent workouts. This guy could come off the pace in quick fashion.
$2 SHOW.
#8 Massone (M. Garcia / Yakteen) looks well prepped sharing the third highest last out speed number, holding a four race progression, and putting in three hearty workouts. He could close aggressively into the pace.
$2 SHOW.
#5 Utopian (Sutherland / Shirreffs) could be the big surprise with the second highest speed number coming off a long Turf route, a two race progression, and three robust workouts. He should track the pace and look for running room in the stretch. Deserved of our bronze horseshoe.
$2 SHOW.
Another Wagering Interest
#6 Tres Borrachos (Rosario / Jones) will be a top contender with the highest, a triple digit, speed number and two terrific workouts. This guy also holds the highest speed number at the distance. He cannot be counted out with his track and close running style.

A Great Sunday at Gulfstream
We finish out our horse racing weekend at gorgeous Gulfstream Park.
Gulfstream Race 8 {Ft. Lauderdale~G3~1 1/16 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~Stakes}
An excellent group of twelve highly talented Turf horses are expected to make the start in this annual stakes race. This group is so close in ability any one of them could pull off the victory. Baletti (Cruz / Penna) appears to have the edge with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route, a two race progression, and three strong workouts. Battle of Hastings [GB] will challenge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and four stellar, peaking workouts. Blues Street (Desormeaux / Pletcher) should have no trouble competing with this group despite coming off an extensive layoff. He is a horse for the course, racing 80% in the money coupled with the highest (triple digit) speed number over the Gulfstream course and has put in four solid workouts in preparation for this race. Get Stormy (Castellano / Bush) may be the favorite and deservedly so with the highest (tie) speed number at the distance, a two race progression, and three robust workouts. Smart Bid (Prado / Motion) may well be the surprise in this race with a decent, yet comparative last out speed number, a two race progression, and four fantastic workouts.

Racing in Warm Sunny Places
This second Saturday of January we look at two Stakes races. Luckily they are in the warm sunny climates of Gulfstream Park and Santa Anita Park.
Gulfstream Race 6 {Sugar Swirl~G3~6 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
There are five or six in the race that could come away with a victory. Bold Union (Bravo / Breen) and Thunder's Dove (J. Velazquez / Zito) will be the speed of the group working hard to hold on for the win. Bold Union seems to have a tad more speed and may pull it off. She has the highest speed numbers across the board, is 86% in the money had this distance, a good last out speed number and a couple of decent workouts in advance of the race. Thunder's Dove also has decent speed numbers, solid last out speed number and two strong workouts. Tar Heel Mom (Lezcano / Hough) will join these two gals near the front end. Another one that can be considered a specialist at this distance with solid speed numbers across the board. D'wild Ride (Castellano / Orseno) and Warbling (Leparoux / Kenneally) will also be significant factors in this race. D'wild Ride is 100% in the money at this 6 furlong distance and covered the Gulfstream track with fortitude. Warbling has only two career races, but won both of them. She has four strong workouts in preparation and will be closing fast. Let's play Gulfstream.

Santa Anita Race 8 {San Pasqual Handicap~G2~1 1/16 mile~4 year old Up}
This race has some top talent going to the gate. Furthest Land (Gomez / Maker) should win this race. With solid speed numbers across the board and the best work out tab going in, Furthest Land should be able to find the winners circle. His top competition will be Bold Chieftan (R. Baze / Morey). Bold Chieftan is 100% in the money at this distance and has done a nice set of peaking workouts. He is in great condition and will challenge. Cherokee Artist (Bejarano / Motion), Now Now Now (Talamo / Biancone), and Neko Bay (Smith / Shirreffs) all have had terrific workouts. Each has fabulous speed numbers across the board. It is conceivable that they could also pull off a victory. Let's play Santa Anita.

Gulfstream Race 6 {Sugar Swirl~G3~6 furlongs~4 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
There are five or six in the race that could come away with a victory. Bold Union (Bravo / Breen) and Thunder's Dove (J. Velazquez / Zito) will be the speed of the group working hard to hold on for the win. Bold Union seems to have a tad more speed and may pull it off.

Thunder's Dove also has decent speed numbers, solid last out speed number and two strong workouts. Tar Heel Mom (Lezcano / Hough) will join these two gals near the front end. Another one that can be considered a specialist at this distance with solid speed numbers across the board. D'wild Ride (Castellano / Orseno) and Warbling (Leparoux / Kenneally) will also be significant factors in this race.
