Santa Anita $97k C/O - Friday 4/18

[Rootdog1]

In the 6th....I really like Samwise, although a bit worried he may fall too far back. Kingdom Come looks good but he sprints better than he routes

[Rootdog1]

In the 7th...
what do you take of Mike Smith riding Silver Swallow? Interesting...

I think Two Times Won is interesting at a price

Number wise, his route four back was very good. Very competitive with the field, and he seems like a horse that if he is in the front he runs better. I have a feeling that Quasimodo won't even finish the race and there really isn't much. Samwise is very playable, but given the connections, they can beat me and I am content with it, a real bad race. The other thing about Kingdom Come is that the 8 is going to gun (Shootist) so he should get a great trip right off that horse.

The horse that peaked my interest as a bomb would be Wee Jinky, think he is a turf horse and could get the right trip/price on him today to put some win coin on him

The price horse I like in the 6th is #8 Outside Looking In....prob wont win but playing under. He has found his game routing, big kick in the lane.

Need some help on the 8th...impossibe.

CNak coming in for one mount today, Returning
What do you make of Carla's horse blinks off?
Cali Blaze has a great long work pattern for her comeback - must use
Ernie Owl is an expensive kin of Tale of the Cat..not a big Cassidy fan but I think this one is sneaky good

Also, Scavs...do you have any trainer stats on Brian Strong...he has a firster in the 9th - #10 California General. I like the work pattern

Strong's stats = not good, total 5% trainer(60 starts), 4% at SA(30 starts), he has had 10 firsters at MCL and won with 1 of them. PLus General meeting's tend to get better with racing, at least in my experience

The only good stat about the horse is his half bro, by In Excess (named Prowling Cat), won at first asking going 6.5f at Hollywood in a MCL40k.

IN regards to that race, the 7 Higher Demand or whatever the name is, jock lost the whip last time, was bet pretty good in debut, comes back in the same spot, same jock too I think....Don't see why their is a huge difference in ML's between the 5,7,12 quite honestly.

I love Nak's horse, and carla's(2nd start and something obviously happened last time because the horse showed speed and quit, Bejarano would not be aboard for a mule here) and Devil's afleet is on the improve, possibly gate to wire

[Rootdog1]

If Devils Afleet beats me, then fine....I am not buying that horse.

No other speed Root, I know what you are saying but I got smoked on Saturday by Talamo being lone speed, it was the 7 horse, can't remember the name.....I think Nak is the best there, just covering based on possible circumstances

I love Cali Blaze but it's a very contentious race. I think he is faster than Devil's Afleet but this is definitely a spread leg. If I could afford the ALL button I would do it because these Euro shippers seem to love the downhill and all the known horses have a shot.

Nakatini only coming for one mount should tell us alot, he is lazy as hell, and if didn't think he was going to win, he would have taken off the mount

My problem with Kingdom Come is that I don't understand why Periban would put the worst turf rider on the West coast on his back? I am probably going 2,6,9 in this race. Shootist probably can't get the distance but speed has been deadly on the turf.

Wants him on the lead, would be my guess
