Today is the 55th running of the Santa Monica Stakes for mares on the main (dirt)track at Santa Anita over 7f. Not a lot of speed on, and my selection is 6-2-3-7. #6 Rumor (9-5 2nd fav, Mike Smith/R.Mandella bay mare in pink with green diagonals) looks to get the run of the race. #2 Big Tiz (9-2, Nakatini/Glatt) was scr from the La Canada last Sunday for this. #3 Teddy's Promise was surprise winner of Gr 1 La Brea last month. it is race 9 and post time is 7:12 pm ET.
RESULT:4-7-5-2. #6 Rumor raced on the pace but gone at the turn and ran last (6:2-2-0)
Sunday: RTKYD '12 cointues today when the gray 2011 champion 2YO Hansen runs (#4) in the Holy Bull at GP today. He will probably try to wire it again. Can he do it? These races are always tricky; #6 Algorithms looks the only threat. Selection is 4-6-2-1.
RESULT: 6-4-3-2 (exacta 16.20/2); 7:2-3-0 it was a sloppy track. #4 wnet out fast, led to turn but then was gone. #6 reeled him in and raced away. (i wasn;t far off)
"Luck" looks like being an interesting show, on HBO Sunday night...
