Three year old gelding for Peter Miller made his 1st start around two turns and his sixth career start in Sunday’s opener, a mile on the turf for non winners twice starter allowance race. Off at 5/1 in a field of six reduced by two late scratches, he broke well under J.J. and tracked the […]
Entered this in poor form, but the blinkers were removed for this and he set the early pace. He was hooked up with a rival around the turn and fought on gamely in the stretch along the rail in a three horse driving finish at the wire. The gelding held 3rd and he may be […]
Three year old colt for Mark Glatt made start #2 on Saturday in a maiden special weight event at a flat mile on the main track, 3 and up. Off as the heavy 3/5 choice in a field of just five, he broke OK under Dettori and laid third down the back side, four off […]
Raced with first time blinkers for this and the filly never really looked comfortable until the final furlong when she got up late for 3rd. She was bumped out of the gate and the entire field lined up for the lead a few strides out of the gate. This gal was then wrestled back to […]
Showed marked improvement in start #2 as he tracked the pace in the three-path up the backstretch. He started his rally around the turn with the eventual winner to his outside and was along the rail entering the stretch. He couldn’t match strides late, but this was a much better effort and he did hold […]
Three year old filly for Phil D’Amato found her hole card on Sunday in a Cal bred maiden special weight at one mile on the turf. After showing very little in two dirt sprints, D’Amato stretched her out and put her on the grass and at 14/1, she responded with a strong second place finish. […]
Didn’t have much chance in this affair as he was caught in the five-path up the backstretch behind a dawdling pace. The gelding was spinning his wheels around the far turn and this race might just be a tossout. Look for a stronger pace in his next start along with a more ground-saving trip and […]
This guy showed zero early speed in his first two starts, but he took over the lead leaving the first turn with a three wide move despite a troubled break. Whether this was by design or not, this was a position he was not used to and he had little left as they entered the […]
Four year old gelding for Jeff Mullins made start #2 this year and the 4th start of his career in Sunday’s opener, a maiden special weight event for 3,4, and 5 year olds at ¾ on the turf. Off at 5/1 after getting heavy play right from the start, he broke OK under Vasquez and […]
Broke well, but jock seemed indecisive as to whether go for the lead or settle. He did decide to settle early and was in midpack of eight other runners who were separated by about four lengths up the backstretch. The jock sent him to the outside entering the stretch and he ran on for 3rd […]
