Whatever happened to Crown of Thorns from last year's west coat derby hopefuls? I know he was injured, but did he get retired?
He looked promising.

The Malibu only good leg left of the Strub Series
This certainly looks like a great Malibu this year. The Malibu is probably the only race in the Strub Series that still maintains it stature. The Strub Series consist of three races restricted to 4YOs and used to feature the cream of the 3YO crop of the prior year. Of course the Malibu's cast will consist of 3YOs since it is now run as the opening day feature at SA. The series then continues with the San Fernando Stakes at 1 1/16 in mid January then the Strub Stakes at 1 1/8 on the first Saturday in February.
This used to be a very special series every winter at SA. The San Fernando and the Strub have lost much of their lustre since SA was sold to Frank Stronach. MEC's creation of the Sunshine Millions has really changed the SoCal racing calendar. This year it takes place on Jan 24, right between the second and third legs of the Strub Series. That is probably the biggest issue I have with the Stronach's MEC. Seems like every year the San Fernando and Strub lose key players as owners and trainers focus CA and FL breds on a more lucrative target on the racing schedule. The fields of this very unique series are no longer as deep or talented as before the creation of the Millions.

Georgie Boy -Prado...Fits him great. Mischief is nice, but hate the 1 hole. Mandella is tough off a long rest like he had. With the 2 months rest, I don't think he is quite as tough. He can win it, but I think Georgi will take him late. I do think they will get to Blackjack in the stretch. He hasn't won a graded race(cuz he has only won CAL bred n' CAL/FLO bred races.) I expect to see the old mother hen trainer in the winners circle, but we'll see what happens. Pretty cool race.
Mystification to win the last. That's a pretty nice trying horse (for a maiden claimer.)

Saying that his last was SUPER BAD is a hyperbole. He only lost by a length and a half in that race. He is an absolute need the lead type as evident from his three wins. He likes SA (I know the surface has changed since) but he did set a record in the Sunshines Dash last year going 6F 1:06 and two fiths. Plus he has done better damage second off layoff. On Paper, he is the speed and others will sit right behind him. If he hooks with a duel or trio then Into Mischief wins for fun.

He just ran his first race after 6 months on the shelf and now second off he should run better. Guns on the Table will also run a huge race. His last race he held his own after a heated pace and hung in thier. If he settles second behind BBJ he can take it if BBJ decides not to run. The Bet: $50 WP on Guns on the Table BBJ and GOTT included in Pick 3, Pick 4 bets.

Bob Black Jack looks like a horse that might have had a successful 3 year old season if the connections did not catch Derby Fever. They did the right thing by easing back off the horse and letting him recover from the Derby.
The Underwood was a prep and looking at the charts I see he made a move to get within a length of the lead. I think conditioning set in and he flattened out and held on well to finish with two of the winner. The connections have been pointing to this race. The works since the Underwood look pretty good. He looks like lone speed. He should offer value on the toteboard. Of course we'll have to see how the track is playing. I'm on the east coast and I've been looking at weather forecasts which had it raiining on Wednesday and calling for rain on Thursday. Nonetheless I'm expecting a decent race out of Black Jack Bob believe he will win the Malibu.
