Today at Santa Anita Park

By Richard Eng

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $30,000, Maiden claiming $75,000, 2-year-olds

6 Shy Humor - FTS from Vann Belvoir who is incredibly hot right now; last bullet work was impossible to ignore.

1 Good Mojo - Second best in last in an improved effort; was in contention 2 back before unseating the bugboy.

Long Shot - 4 Tummel

Race 2 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $51,000, Optional claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

5 Farley Star - Mike Mitchell barn is also en fuego too; gets class relief from a minor stakes for this.

3 Miss Mittagong - Has run consistent races since shipping in from England; is overdue to break through with a big one.

Long Shot - 2 Madera Castana

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, $65,000 Anoakia, Fillies, 2-year-olds

4 Sister Moon - Maybe the most impressive debut juvenile win of the summer; easily the shortest price of the day.

1 Ismene - Bill Spawr doesn't pop many FTS, but this one was good; suspect there is lots of room for improvement.

Long Shot - 6 Lady Pecan

Race 4 - 6 furlongs, Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

3 So Brilliant - FTS from Bob Baffert is working bullets, no surprise; watch the tote board for confirmation.

8 Out of Bounds - FTS from the Eoin Harty barn; like that Rafael Bejarano took the call, his vote means something.

Long Shot - 2 Candy's Jewel

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $45,000, Maiden special weights, 3-year-olds and up

2 Rock Off - Julio Canani taking the blinkers off for this; last race over synthetics stunk, much better on grass.

11 Noble Exchange - Even run in debut for Brian Koriner; been working fast since, expect improvement tonight.

Long Shot - 4 Randazo

Race 6 - 7 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds and up

12 Clear to Canada - Off slow in last, then was left with too much to do late; suspect can break with the field today.

8 Coal Region Kid - Was DQ'd in last in a winning effort; his maiden win two back if repeated is fast enough to win.

Long Shot - 2 Fort William

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Claiming $25,000, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

10 Bella Roja - Like the parking lot post down the hillside turf course; also like the turn back in distance.

Long Shot - 3 Soul Custody

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $15,000, Claiming $8,000, 3-year-olds and up

11 Kuro - Claimed by Doug O'Neill and dropped to the bottom to win; has more than enough back class to beat these.

Race 9 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 15 feet), Purse $51,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

2 Red Defense - Is unbeaten in 4 starts, the last one down the hill; Joel Rosario can carve a trip from the inside.

Race 10 - 6 furlongs, Purse $18,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 3-year-olds and up
