Horse Racing, Jan. 21

Post Time 12:30 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $30,000, Starter allowance $40,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

1 Miss American Pie - Visually impressive regardless of 12-length debut win; suspect won't see another price tag for a while.

5 Boller Bomb - Finally found a field soft enough to beat last out; didn't beat much, but may have found her confidence.

Long Shot - 3 Exclusive Story

Race 2 - 6 furlongs, $75,000 San Pedro, 3-year-olds

1 Distinctiv Passion - He may not want to go far, but will be tough in any 1-turn race; will be a very useful sort.

3 Really Mr Greely - Draw a line thru a pop and stop try in the Cash Call Futurity; he may find sprinting to his liking.

Long Shot - 4 Hear the Ghost

Race 3 - 1 1/8th miles (turf, rail at 8 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, 4-year-olds and up

1 Toruk Makto - Tries to break a string of 3 straight seconds; been away 2-months, will hug the white rail throughout.

4 Copper Bay - Showed a lot of improvement second time out; won't be anywhere near 31/1 against this kind.

Long Shot - 7 Vantage Point

Race 4 - 1 mile, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

8 Mind the Master - Ran poorly last time with the blinkers off; Peter Eurton puts the blinkers back on, expect improvement.

1 Political Man - Ran evenly in his SoCal debut; his Keeneland race two back is fast enough to upset these.

Long Shot - 6 Wild Side Story

Race 5 - 1 mile, Purse $17,000, Claiming $8,000, Four-year-olds and up

7 Max Cooper - Drops to the bottom class rung in search of victory; tactical speed to sit a nice trip.

9 Big Wags - Claimed by Bill Spawr and won first out like a tiger; repeat race gives him a puncher's chance.

Long Shot - 8 Miles Heir

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 8 feet), Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, 4-year-olds and up

1 Cayambe - 9-YO veteran tries hard, can win when he's right; another claim by Bill Spawr that won first time out.

4 Tamarack Smarty - Dead late closer cuts back in distance today; will need a speed duel melt down to set up his rally.

Long Shot - 2 Raetodandty

Race 7 - 6 1/2 furlongs, $150,000 Santa Ynez, Fillies, 3-year-olds

8 Beholder - She has been given 3-months to recover off her Breeders' Cup win; anything close to that destroys these.

3 Dawn's Charm - Exploded with a double digit MSW win last out; we'll find out today whether she is man or mouse.

Long Shot - 2 Blushing Angel

Race 8 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 8 feet), Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, 4-year-olds and up

6 Dixieland Blues - 5-YO has only run in turf sprints; broke his MSW down the hill, always a good sign.

9 Unusual Beam - Dead late closer cuts back in distance for this; will need a wicked fast pace to do his best.

Long Shot - 11 Senator Bob

Race 9 - 6 furlongs, Purse $31,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds

1 Judge Carr - Real competitve with these in his last two starts; saves all the ground and slugs it out late.

8 Mywayorthecauseway - Gary Stevens has looked good in his comeback; suspect he won't ride many, but they'll be live ones.

Long Shot - 5 Cosmic Heat

Best Bet - 8 Beholder (race 7)

Santa Anita Park Sunday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 17/5/$32.80; Long Shots, 8/0/$0; Best Bet, 1/1/$3.60
