Santa Anita January 7

[The Spaniard]

race 2:

:3: HOWDY, unexposed over dirt routes, strong workout (47.3) 15 days after the comeback race. High figures routing (82 > 81 > 90). Looks good in the paddock and post parade.

2nd

the winner 22.2 > 45.2... might be an speed bias operative after the rain...

race 3:

Jeff Mullins horses are in very good form and: :5: ROSIESCRUELLA goes straight from 5f to 1m 1/16. Mullins fine from sprint to routes (22%) lately, and it looks like the debut was just a prep for this. A wire to wire threat.

Rosies the ant... :jump:

race 5:

:1: PONDER LEA: hot trainer, hot jockey, best speed.
:6: ZEEKID: she's quick (34.3 > 59.2), good stalking trip projected.
