Entered in Santa Anita's 6th today...very excited about this one.

Last race was a solid effort for a horse who was "entered just to get a race in before turning 3" as Biancone said on HRTV prior to the race.

Anyone playing this race needs to use the #1 at a ridiculous price.. Wellnessfast..

I'd key the 1-3 with the 6-10-11.. Terrific race..

I don't don't know what to make of that race. It doesn't look like the six was at fault but I'm watching from my PC so it's hard for me to tell. Nice comeback by the six.

I was trying to tell everyone that 15-wide was where you wanted to be today at Santa Anita..
Seriously, that was bizzare...I thought the horse was being eased and then all of a sudden, he starts running again. I can't remember the last time I saw anything like that.

Miss Norman in the Fantasy Stakes the next to last day of the meet this past year at Oaklawn. Blew the turn into the stretch and bolted twice more before finally straightening up and coming back for 2nd behind Pletchers shipper. Didn't affect any other horses but the closest thing I've seen.

I don't appreciate Spanky carrying me wide.Tiago wins by 5 if not for that rat doing that.

Sal Gonzalez was the one who messed that race up. Spanky would have won by open lengths if he had a competent jock on his back.

All I can say is wow. That was crazy. I do think the stewards got it right after watching the replay.

Victor had him measured.No doubt in my mind Tiago blows by him.Spank was all over the place,but he never had his momentum totally stopped (like Tiago did.)

What's really weird is that Gonzales had another do that exact same thing last year in a stakes race at Oaklawn. It was almost identical. Both the horse today and the horse at Oaklawn bolted at the top of the stretch and then again at the 1/8th pole. And both horses then came back on. The one at Oaklawn ended up running 2nd.

Now I remember who the horse was at Oaklawn. It was Miss Norman. The race was the $250,000 Fantasy Stakes.
