Santa Anita January4, 2009

Race 2 Pick: Threat. This one is has run at least a couple lengths faster than the entire field, and has the best Jockey Gomez and a solid trainer in Becerra. This one is a MUST USE in the exacta. Bella Dancer's first two races could cope with Threat but that one has been on a downward spiral, the issue is form with her. The one that has the potential is Change My Luck, and has run almost as fast as Threat, and if she can improve in just her third career start, she might have a shot. Change My Luck (6-1 ML) has a solid trainer to get her ready off the long layoff.

Race 8 Pick: Cherokee Artist. If the trainer can have him ready to run like he did in his last he will be hard to beat as he has the best last GHR Number Speed Figure. I am going to stand against 3-1 ML Serra's Song because I think Cherokee Artist is faster based on her last. Gregorian Bay is hard to read because my numbers show two outstanding efforts that can win this including the race two back, but a slew of race that will not. Give Gregorian Bay an outside chance at 6-1 ML.
