Back to the Turf at Santa Anita

On this fine Sunday, the last day of our horse racing weekend, we look at a very competitive Turf race at lovely Santa Anita Park.

Santa Anita Race 4 {San Luis Rey~G2~1 1/2 mile~Turf~4 year old Up~Stakes}
A very fine Turf race featuring a field of eight.  Looked at the conditions and could not find a clause that indicated that the horses had to be foreign bred.  Six of them are, with two Kentucky breds in the field.  An equally matched group should bring some excitement to this marathon Turf race.  Unfortunately the race will have very little pace.

#1 Hamish Hy (Gomez / Sherman) seems to have an edge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and two serious workouts. Is the class of the field.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Falcon Rock [IRE] (Blanc / Callaghan) looks ready to run another good race at his distance.  He has the second highest speed number at the distance, a decent last out speed number and a quality peaking workout.  Could be in the hunt at closing time.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Romp [ARG] (Quinonez / Mullhall) has the highest speed number (triple digit) at the distance, a three race progression, and two sensational, peaking workouts.  He too will be in the group that closes well.
#2 SHOW.

Other Wagering Interests
#5 Buenos Dias [IRE] will be heading into his third race in the form cycle and will undoubtedly be in the mix.  He holds the third highest speed number at the distance and has put in four robust, peaking workouts.

10 CENT Superfecta
