Kick-Off Our Horse Racing Weekend

We kick-off our horse racing weekend on the eve of the Breeder's Cup Championships. On this Thursday we warm up with a nice stakes race at beautiful Santa Anita.

Santa Anita Race 8 {Big Bear Stakes~1 mile~3 year old~Stakes}
A great group of nine will go to the gate in this annual affair. There is plenty of speed to keep the pace rolling. The competitors all have closely matched speed numbers. It should be terrific warm up for the Breeder's Cup races on Friday and Saturday.

#7 Blue Tone (Desormeaux / Hess) looks like the one that could get the job done with the second highest last out speed number, a six race progression, and three superb peaking workouts. He is coming off two wins in a row.
$2 SHOW.

#8 Regally Ready (Napravnik / Asmussen) should challenge with the third highest last out speed number and three strong peaking workouts. He holds the highest speed number over the surface and will be making his first start over the Santa Anita track.
$2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests

#6 Stryker Phd (Mawing / Ross) should contend with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three great peaking workouts. He holds the highest (tie) speed number at the distance coupled with a 100% in the money record at same from four starts.

#2 Sweet Sunshine (Nakatani / Sadler) should be in the mix with a couple of very good last out speed numbers and two significant peaking workouts. This lad loves the Santa Anita track.

A Superfecta Belmont Sunday

It is Superfecta Sunday already. Today we take in a lively stakes route in New York, New York.

Belmont Park Race 9 {Turn Back the Alarm~G3~1 1/16 mile~3 year old Up~Fillies/mares~Graded Stakes}
A very fine group of eight fillies and mares will step onto the track for this graded feature race. There is enough speed to keep a flowing pace. These gals all have closely matched speed figures which should make for a contentious race. Our task is to sew together a winning 10 CENT Superfecta Box ticket.

#1 Tapits World (J. Ortiz / Nevin) seems to have the most upside potential  with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four marvelous peaking workouts during a brief layoff period. She should be close to the pace ready to strike in the stretch. She is our Bronze Horseshoe runner.
$2 SHOW.

#8 Catch My Drift (J. Velazquez / C. Brown) could surprise with the fourth highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three stout workouts during a brief freshening. She has been victorious three times from three starts at this distance. Count on her to track and close vigorously.

#6 Endless Chatter (Rosario / C. Brown) should challenge with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and two mighty strong workouts. She should be forwardly placed seeking to pounce on the leaders in the stretch. This gal in 90% in the money from ten starts.

#5 Teen Pauline (I. Ortiz / Pletcher) could lead from start to finish. She shares the highest last out speed number, albeit prior to a lengthy layoff. This gal has put in four sound peaking workouts in preparation for this race. She is one of may in here that is tough at this distance.
