SANTA ANITA AUTUMN MEET
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27
R1 Dandy Vandy (#3) broke okay but awkward into stride early, raced between horses backside, began move on turn, and kept to task in stretch while racing greenly and lugging in some. Should improve next time out and bears watching now with race under her belt.
R4 Track and Field (#7) broke well from outside box but was hung 5-6 wide into turn, raced clear outside backside and just never raised a gallop after. Was eased up in lane. Very disappointing run here on the class drop and gelding can't be trusted next time.
R7 Heart Headed (#3) finally got a chance to go long on the grass and responded here with a nice looking win. New connections may have found the key and this colt by Oscar Performance should be followed.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28
R2 Day and Age (#5) son of Omaha Beach broke okay in maiden debut, outrun early, he finished well and looked strong in a race he likely needed. Follow.
R5 Toupie (#11) nice looking win in local debut. Filly should be heard from should her connections decide to keep her here.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 29
R1 Prosper (#3) broke a bit slowly, gathered himself quickly to engage and take the lead from the inside, battled through stretch while tiring late. Slow start compromised his chances here.
R3 Why Behave (#5) broke okay, raced wire into first turn, remained wide backside, ridden along while making move on turn, took lead mid-stretch and drew off. Impressive. Follow.
R7 Sugar Fish (#6) very impressive in win here. Sat and waited, began rally backside, rallied along rail on turn and waited inside behind horses, secured path inside and engaged, went inside in lane and won nicely. Strong gallop out. Filly is razor sharp and deserves to be followed.
R9 Straight No Chaser (#5) awesome run here in return race. Son of Speighster is quick and has heart. On to the Breeders' Cup now at Del Mar.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4
R1 Desert Rocket (#2) broke okay, raced in contention while tracking leaders, was caught in tight and steadied on turn, lost action and dropped back, ytried to rally some along inside in a better-than-looked effort.
R1 Canani (#4) broke a bit awkwardly, raced off the pace and made a nice sustained run through stretch to finish nicely. Looked strong on gallop out. Can improve next out for Barocio stable.
R7 Just Nails (#1) broke well from rail, tracked inside downhill, angled out to take lead and drew off for visually impressive win. Sharp. Follow.
R9 Sea Runner (#4) nicely bred filly by Gun Runner (half to Johannes) finally put it together here to break maiden in third career start. Looks to have a future and deserves to be followed.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5
R1 Zio Jo (#8) powerful win here and Nyquist gelding never looked like a loser here. Doug O'Neill trainee can come right back.
R3 Non Compliant (#8) looks to have a bright future for Baffert. Filly came back off a nice maiden debut score to win the GII Oak Leaf and deserves to be followed.
R6 Helga Brandt (#8) fill was making third North American start today and was in the perfect position turning for home. Filly loomed up and flattened out through the stretch in a dull try. Not ready to give up on her yet, one more chance next time for Gaines stable.
R7 One Magic Philly (#5) powerful facile win here in GIII Chillingworth. Filly has a bright future ahead of her and is getting better. Follow.
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6
R1 Central Dispatch (#8) looked super in win down the hill. Speed to lead and ran them off their feet. Took corner very well and held off late challengers. Strong on gallop out. Could come right back.
R6 Cypress Moon (#6) flew out of gate to set blazing fractions :21.90, :43.94, :56.18 before tiring late. Needs more realistic pace.
R7 Shea Brennan (#1) walked out of gate, gathered himself and moved in contention at rail, raced in contention on turn, raced inside through stretch for a nice effort. Follow.
R8 Sabertooth (#4) was impeded through stretch when outside of a lugging out rival. Trouble cost him the win as he was two noses back at the wire. Follow.
R9 Always on Cay (#3) broke well, hustled along, went wrong and was pulled up.
R10 Quantum Innergy (#1) broke okay and stayed inside, was in traffic and steadied, found room late in stretch and was finishing nicely in a better-than-looked effort. Follow.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11
R2 Impossible Task (#6) looked okay late but gelding really shined on the gallop out. Mark Rheinford trainee should be followed.
R3 Kissmeyoufool (#5) expected big effort but colt turned in a dull one. May be heading in other direction now. Use caution.
R5 Girlcanthelpit (#7) slow start to race behind rivals early, made elongated move backside and drew off for a nice looking win. Sharp. Follow.
R7 Petrified (#1) scratched by vet in post parade.
