Two for a Thursday

For the start of what will be a great horse racing weekend we will look at a couple of nice races;  An allowance race at Laurel and an Optional Claiming race at Santa Anita.  Neither race has a 10 CENT Superfecta wagering opportunity. 

As the weekend nears we look forward to some seriously good Kentucky Derby 137 prep races and a full card of tremendous races which are part of the Dubai World Cup card.  For now let's look at two on this wonderful Thursday.

Laurel Race 8 {1 1/16 mile~4 year old Up~Allowance}
This race features a field of eight of equally talented horses.  The pace should develop nicely with one speedster in the mix.

#7 First Nite (Rose / Smith) looks ready to seek the victory with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression and two robust workouts.  Should be forwardly placed for first jump on the leader.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Indio Rooster (E. Rodriguez / R. Dutrow) shows the highest speed number at the distance and three athletic workouts.  He is likely to press the pace and challenge for the victory.
$2 SHOW.

Santa Anita Race 7 {1 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Optional Claiming}
A great group of five gals will go to the gate.  All have had terrific workouts within the last thirty days.  This will be a highly competitive race which any of these have the talent to pull off the win.

#3 Calle Vista (M. Garcia / Mandella) looks well spotted to run a fine race with the second highest (tie) last out speed number, a six race progression, and two strong, peaking workouts.
$2 SHOW.

#1 She's Cheeky (Quinonez / Eurton) also has the second highest last out speed number.  She also holds the highest speed number at the distance and has run two solid workouts.
$2 SHOW.
