Three year old filly for Adam Kitchingman made her debut in Saturday’s finale, a 5/8 turf sprint for Cal bred soph fillies. Off at 9/1 in a field of 11, she was bumped off stride at the start, then settled in fifth early about 4 back of the leaders. She stayed in that position turning […]
Four year old gelding for Bob Hess Jr., who he just claimed five weeks ago, couldn’t be any sharper than he is right now. Entered for the 1st allowance condition for Cal breds on Sunday in a field of six, he was gunning for his 3rd straight victory at ¾ on the main. Off as […]
Two year old colt for Bob Hess tried the 1st allowance condition in Saturday’s opener at 5/8 on the turf. Off at 10/1 in a field of six, he was void of any early speed and was away last ands fell 7 lengths off the pace at the 3/8 pole. Mike Smith got him rolling […]
Three year old filly for George Papaprodromou was in for the 1st allowance condition on Sunday after breaking her maiden impressively over this turf course 3 weeks ago. However, once her regular rider, Umberto Rispoli, took off all of his mounts Sunday, “Papa” didn’t use good judgement in selecting the veteran Jose Valdivia to ride […]
Didn’t break the best and was caught four wide up the backstretch while tracking four others in front of her. She made a big move around the turn, but couldn’t keep up in the final furlong. A better trip and better break can only help her chances next time. Next Upcoming Race: Alpine […]

May have been long gone on a normal day or fairer track while on the lead, but he was racing along the slower inside in the stretch and did hold well to be beaten about one length. He finished in the Exacta in his previous three starts and he could show more stick next time […]
Was slow into stride and settled near the back around the first turn. He made a middle move as they approached the far turn and was right off the two leaders while in between horses. However, he started spinning his wheels around the far turn and looked like he would be up the track. The […]
