SANTA ANITA HOLLYWOOD MEET

FRIDAY, APRIL 18

R2 Eltonsingsanother (#3) away slow while bobbling at the break, raced well behind rivals early on, brought outside down backstretch, began rally approaching turn, used hard on turn while wide, lugged in while tiring through stretch. This race can be tossed out and mare deserves another look at next time.

R3 Zeyaraat (#4) bobbled out of the gate, was asked to go after leaders when recovered, settled nicely to track leaders, asked on turn but didn't respond under Maldonado. Mare may need softer rivals.

R4 Winds of Freedom (#4) gelding is learning out to rate now for Bob Hess stable. Solid effort here as son of Stanford is sharp. Follow.

R5 Miso Phansy (#4) much the best here in a troubled filled race. Filly overcame all sorts of trouble to get the win under Rispoli. Trailed early, scraped paint into lane, shut off and checked through stretch, taken outside and re-railled with an explosive late kick for the win. Sharp. Follow.

R8 Crown Magic (#2) liked this gelding here but son of Grazen was eliminated at the break when he walked out of gate. Well back early, he never got involved. Draw line through this race.

R9 Flyover (#2) firster from Sadler stable was worth the buzz. Rocketed out of the gate, opened up and kept on going to the wire in a very impressive debut. Follow.
