Horse Racing: Today at Santa Anita, January 29

Post Time 1 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 furlongs, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $50,000, Cal-breds, Fillies, 3-year-olds

5 Easter Fever - Edge due to winning twice, the last one over winners for a $50K price tag; figures to be decent value.

2 Bad Ju Ju - Will be overbet off a 9-length MSW win at Los Alamitos; not sure if that field was as good as advertised though.

Long Shot - 3 Exfanofsixties

Race 2 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $23,000, Maiden claiming $30,000, 3-year-olds

4 Whiskey Wild - Broke thru with a nice second last time; Jeff Mullins barn is ice cold, but can’t stay like that forever.

6 Congrats Seattle - Perfect hunch horse for the Super Bowl; sliding down the maiden claiming ladder to this new low rung.

Long Shot - 2 Fabber

Race 3 - 6 furlongs, Purse $58,000, Optional claiming $80,000, Fillies, 3-year-olds

2 Rattataptap - Was grossly overmatched in the grade 2 Santa Ynez last out; beat a good Bob Baffert baby Popover in career debut.

6 Hennythelovepenny - Gets needed class relief from the Breeders’ Cup and Santa Ynez; hope that her spirit hasn’t been wounded to badly.

Long Shot - 5 Tall and Sweet

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

1 Beach Fever - Always like the rail at 1 mile on dirt or turf; short run to the first turn gives the post a real advantage.

9 Spring Action - Would like him better except for the parking lot post; has tactical speed to grab a decent spot early on.

Long Shot - 5 Crane Lodge

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $56,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up

2 See Through - Joe Talamo has had a sluggish start to the meet; when you have many more seconds and thirds than wins, that is bad.

10 Taylor Lane - Suspect she ran against much tougher foes at Keeneland; returns to SoCal where she could definitely wake up.

Long Shot - 12 Loufoque

Race 6 - 7 furlongs, Purse $21,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds and up

1 When We Met - Returns to a more modest level tonight; was taken for $10K so Robertino Diodoro got his money’s worth off the claim.

8 Truelee Scrappin - Don’t mind a parking lot post in an elongated sprint; key is the long run until the turn to gain good position.

Long Shot - 6 Relentless Heat

Race 7 - 1 mile (turf, rail at 24 feet), Purse $30,000, Starter allowance $40,000, 4-year-olds and up

7 Silver Torch - The team of Kent Desormeaux and Bob Hess is winning races like it’s 1999; expect this one to wake up in a big way here.

9 I’ll Wrap It Up - Elvis Trujillo has been a nice surprise since joining the SoCal colony; with luck it may land him a big horse.

Long Shot - 5 Ten Carat Rock

Race 8 - 1 mile, Purse $19,000, Maiden claiming $20,000, 4-year-olds and up

9 Silent Ruler - Tiny edge in the hardest race of the card; Kent Desormeaux riding for brother Keith, won’t be holding back.

6 Starzilla - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; need not be much to be competitive with these.

Long Shot - 5 Arctic Code

Best Bet - 2 See Through (race 5)
