Sun Drenched Horses Today

With a strong afinity towards turf races, we look at a couple Allowance races. One at Gulfstream and one at Santa Anita.

Gulfstream Race 8 {1 1/16 mile~Turf~3 year old~fillies~Allowance}
A very interesting race with several possiblities here.  Ms. Thanksgiving (Castellano / Terranova) holds a bit of tactical speed here which may bring her on to victory.  Martita Sangrita (Lezcano / Matz) will be the chief challenger. She has the highest speed number last out and has three decent workouts in preparation for the race.  Sparky's Dream (Desormeaux / McPeek) looks tough over the surface and will be moving up in distance.  Blasted (Rose / Motion) comes into this race 100% in the money lifetime, but it will be her first race on the turf.  She should not be overlooked as she is trained by one of the top turf trainers, Graham Motion.  Let's give Gulfstream a try.

$2 SHOW:  #12 Ms. Thanksgiving
$2 SHOW: #2 Martita Sangrita
10 CENT Superfecta:  #12 Ms. Thanksgiving / #2 Martita Sangrita / #8 Sparky's Dream / #7 Blasted

Santa Anita Race 7 {1 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~Allowance}
 A highly competitive allowance race in which any of the entrants are capable of pulling off a victory.  A slight edge goes to Red Alert Day(GB) (Talamo / Drysdale). He has a good last out speed number, great race progression and a stellar workout tab.  Additionally, he loves Santa Anita.  Yorktown(FR) (Rosario / Motion) has been well prepped for this race with a couple of solid workouts.  Mozante (Gomez / Mitchell) has the highest speed number at the distance, the highest speed number last out and four solid workouts.  Should provide a strong challenge.  Dakota Phone (Bejarano / Hollendorfer) shows the best group of workouts for this race.  Let's play Santa Anita.

$2 WIN / SHOW:  #3 Red Alert Day (GB)
10 CENT Superfecta:  #3 Red Alert Day (GB) / #1 Yorktown (FR) / #2 Mozante, #6 Dakota Phone / #2, #6
