[Bogey]

Magna PK 5

Leg A - Laurel - R9 - Miracle Wood 70K

#8 Cave's Valley - Looks to rebound with the blinkers off his poor performance as the favorite in the Whirlaway.
#6 Gattopardo - Has never been worse than 2nd and should be forwardly placed.
#5 Malibu Kid - Likes the surface and is in good form.

Leg B - Gulfstream Park - R7 - Alw46.5N1X FL breds Turf

#11 El Sultry Sun - Nice debut last summer at BEL and Kimmel is excellent off a long layoff.
#7 Bearish - Mott brings him back to his preferred surface (Turf).
#12 He's Tuned - His turf races and been extremely consistent.

Leg C - Santa Anita - R4 - OC40K/N1X Turf

#8 Chancellor - Nice blowout on Wed 2/27 and the marathon trip is well within his scope. Mandella, G runner just missed twice at 1 1/8 miles. Aggressive Singleton in open race.

Leg D - Gulfstream Park - R8 - Alw41.5K

#9 Bordeaux Bandit - Was 2nd to runaway winner Hey Byrn (Runs on Sunday), but his race two back shows what kind of potential this Zito runner might have. I look for him to excel going two turns. SCR will take on Alaazo and Hey Bryn on Sunday 3/2 Race 3
#6 Extreme Frolic - 2nd at the distance to the highly regarded Alaazo.
#1 Cool Gator - Canadian invader finished 2nd by a head in the G3 Grey BC at Woodbine and picks up the services of Prado.

Leg E - Santa Anita - R5 - Starter Alw 40K

#3 Coronas at Delmar - Hard knocker is good at this level and capable of finding the winner's circle.
#5 Touch My Abs - The furlong cutback should help the cause.
#7 C R Caper - Obliged as the favorite in debut and not facing any monsters here.

Magna PK5 - 5 6 8 / 7 11 12 / 8 / 1 6 / 3 5 7 = $108

Santa Anita

R7 - G3 Sham

#6 Colonel John - Gutsy 2nd in G1 Cash Call Futurity and has been freshened up a bit for '08 campaign. WinStar homebred is a serious contender on the road to the Derby.
#7 Reflect Time (Jpn) - I expect him to be a little closer to the pace with the addition of the blinkers and he's definitely a player here.
#1 El Gato Malo - Unblemished record by open lengths, what's not to like? I still have my reservations about him handling the longer distances.
#2 Success Fee - Fits the mold of this year's talented maiden (Tiago broke maiden in the Santa Anita Derby '07).

W/P on #6
Tri Key - 6 / 1 2 7

R8 - G1 Frank E. Kilroe - Turf

#1 War Monger - Mott ships in from Florida with talented 4 yr old turfer. He's one that could make some serious noise in the turf division.
#7 Ever a Friend - BSF not up to par with top contenders, but the mile distance will suit him fine.
#3 Out of Control (Brz) - Has been a force in the turf division in Cali for the last year and has home court advantage.

Ex Box - 1 / 3 7

R9 - G1 Santa Anita Handicap (Big Cap)

#2 Tiago - No excuses today with the track recently playing kind to closers and he's making his 3rd start off a layoff and year. This race will determine if Tiago can take the next step and stay at the top level throughout the year. I'm expecting a huge race out of him.
#4 Medici Code - Looks to make the transition from the Turf to Synthetic at a price.
#10 Heatseeker (Ire) - He's in razor sharp form and looks to rally late for a share.
#5 Awesome Gem - A must include in any exotic wager. Super consistent.

Win on #2
Tri Key - 2 / 4 5 10

Good Racing Luck
