Synopsis Oaklawn Park Race 2 |
| Fillies & mares three years and up go 5 1/2 panels on the dirt,
racing for a claiming tag of $12,500. These fillies have never
won two races lifetime. Ida Can is one of the few in the field
with any consistency, and she is top choice by virtue of her superior
speed. Bold Soul shows some speed and can compete in the
exotics. Sugarless continues to drop in class, and is eligible
to improve. Ponchos Sol always tries hard for Jack Waldie, and
is another exotics possibility. |

Synopsis Gulfstream Park Race 6 |
| Older fillies and mares sprint five furlongs on the grass under
allowance conditions. Tiger Fever is lightly raced but is fast
becoming a five furlong turf specialist, with a 3rd place finish in a
minor stakes at Monmouth in June. The question is how will a long seven
month layoff effect Tiger Fever, Jeremy Rose is up & Tiger
Fever sports a line of good works, so a big effort is expected.
Tropical Snow did her racing at United Arab Emirates early in 2005,
and managed to break her maiden on the Saratoga turf in August,
Tropical Snow has never gone less than a mile in the U.S. and that
could be a problem. Fashion for Sher won a maiden claimer at
Calder on the dirt in the summer, and has not raced since, her entry
in allowance conditions and a bullet on the workout line indicate she
may perform well at a price. Jerry Bailey rides List Price, a
maiden allowance debut winner on the grass at 5 1/2 furlongs at
Arlington Park in September. After four months, List Price is
finally ready for her second start, and Bailey's presence means her
connections are serious about winning. Amandine shows promise at
this distance in starter allowance and claiming conditions, and merits
a look. |

Synopsis Gulfstream Park Race 8 |
| A full field of twelve older horses goes 1 mile on the grass under
allowance conditions. Spring House performed well against last
year's three year-old crop in minor stakes, and is eligible to do well
today. Todd Pletcher saddles Clerpark and Danaslam, Clerpark
having run well in conditioned allowance events and suited nicely
to today's one mile distance. Danaslam is lightly raced and has
shown promise in Calder allowance & optional claiming races.
Electric Light sizzled in an optional claimer on the dirt, and Nick
Zito tries to take advantage of some of that Nijinsky II blood on the
dam side, in this the turf debut for Electric Light. Bill Mott
enters Lamor, a Brazilian bred in his second race on U.S. soil, his
first being a nondescript finish in the Pete Axthelm, Lamor has a big
upside. Ecclesiastic has shown good promise in optional claimers
and even in a few graded stakes, but is stuck in the far outside post,
a big disadvantage in a race that begins practically on top of the
turn. |

Synopsis Gulfstream Park Race 9 |
| The First Lady Handicap is a grade 3 sprint for fillies & mares
three years and up, all competing for a purse of $100,000. There
are several very fast fillies & mares in the field, and one of the
fastest is Maddalena. Handled by Todd Pletcher, Maddalena ran
with Acey Deucey in the summer and has recorded some huge speed
figures. Of mild concern is a 97 day layoff, indicating Pletcher
may be glad handling her, but I expect a big effort today from
Maddalena. Trickle of Gold recently failed in the La Brea at
Santa Anita, but she simply dominated the competition at Laurel and
Delaware in the summer and fall, and Trickle of Gold should rebound
for a big effort today. Ender's Sister has experienced wild ups
& downs, winning by 19 lengths in a Keeneland open allowance event and
then losing by 13 to Stellar Jayne in the Grade 2 Top Flight Handicap.
Ender's Sister appears to be in the mix today. Wayne Catalano
saddles Lunachick, fast becoming a dominant sprinter on the northern
California stage, and Lunachick should make her presence felt today.
Smokey Glacken has recent graded stakes success but a 83 day layoff is
a major concern. Lilah races in perhaps her final start, and
although she is racing well is probably not up to this level of
competition. This being a handicap race, weights are
individually assigned to each filly & mare, and the weights stack up
nicely for Maddalena, Ender's Sister and Lunachick. |

Stolen Thunder |
| The third at the "Big A" is to be run at 1 mile & 70 yards on the
inner dirt for three year-old New York breds under allowance
conditions. We've got a hot pace on our hands, and that always
complicates issues. Stolen Thunder aced state bred maidens and
promptly finished third in the Damon Runyon, a stakes for New York
breds, Stolen Thunder seems poised to run a big one and figures
prominently in the outcome. Challenging Stolen Thunder on the
front end will be the speedy Psychotic Reaction, Philly Frenzy, and
Prince Raffie from the rail. On December 31 Psychotic Reaction
and Philly Frenzy finished 2nd & 3rd, respectively, under today's
allowance conditions, and both are lightly raced, well trained,
and eligible to improve. The most likely candidate to take
advantage of a hot pace is Don't Tell Joey, 5th place finisher in the
Damon Runyon, and fresh off a good performance in an optional claimer
at Laurel. The competition is going to be fierce in this event. |

Blue Sunday |
| Older horses go six panels on the inner dirt for a $45,000 purse
under allowance conditions. This is an absolutely wide open
event with no clear cut choice. The lightly raced Be Wild Again
finished third in the Say Florida Sandy, a summer stakes for New York
breds, and recently returned from a six month freshening by running a
respectable 5th in a tough optional claimer. Be Wild Again is
very consistent and deserves respect. Crafty Player has been
dominating $17,500 claimers, and tries to strike while the iron is
hot, Alan Garcia is back to ride again. Oz is a speed burner who
cleared both levels of allowance conditions for state breds, leaving
him eligible for today's unrestricted allowance conditions. Oz
has been off for 78 days for James Jerkens, a prevalent concern.
Another New York bred, Blue Sunday, flew through state bred allowance
conditions, registering impressive speed figures, only to run into a
brick wall in the Albany, a stakes for state breds. Blue Sunday
took nearly four months off after the Albany and returned to run a
competent second in the optional claimer that also featured Be Wild
Again. Blue Sunday will garner a lot of support at the windows,
but we have to wonder about his condition, Thomas Albertrani trains
Blue Sunday and Mike Luzzi rides. |

| Eight hopefuls try their luck in a grade 3 handicap for three
year-olds and up, to be run at 1 and 1/16 miles on the inner dirt for
a purse of $100,000. We are looking a very good horse suited to
the course & the pace of the race, and we start with the Todd Pletcher
trained Colita. Colita rallied wide to capture an optional
claimer at Aqueduct in very good time last out, and sports a stalking
style ideally suited for today's pace scenario. The only real
pace will come from Happy Hunting on the rail and Mr. Whitestone.
Colita collared the very same Mr. Whitestone in his optional claiming
victory December 16. Colita has a history of graded stakes
success, and is a probable to finish no worse than second today.
Mr. Whitestone is a very fast sprinter trained by Richard Dutrow, and
speed is going to be his main weapon today, but he must contend with
Happy Hunter early. Happy Hunter is handled by Shug McGaughey
and is regally bred, with only 8 lifetime starts Happy Hunter is
developing a signature front running style and has a chance today,
Happy Hunter must repel the sprinter Mr. Whitestone and then hold off
the stalker Colita, no easy proposition. Another contender is
Knox, last out a hand ridden winner of an optional claimer in
exceptional time, and trained by the sizzling Gary Contessa.
Knox must contend with a difficult outside post. Evening Attire
continues to draw support but frankly is not the same gelding he used
to be, and the relative lack of pacesetters will be his undoing today. |

Hard Iron |
| The 9th at Aqueduct is to be contested on the inner dirt course at
a distance of 1 mile & 70 yards by older state breds under allowance
conditions. The lightly raced Crop Buster returned from a 6 1/2
month layoff to run a lackluster 7th under today's conditions, but
Crop Buster has shown good speed early in his career, Alan Garcia
elects to ride again, and Crop Buster may score at a price. Hard
Iron is also lightly raced and failed to fire in the mud January 1
under today's conditions, however a rider switch to Eibar Coa is a
signal a better performance is on the horizon. Blutarsky is
gifted with ample speed, and will take some beating on the front end
today. It cold be a scramble at the finish, but Crop Buster,
Blutarsky and Hard Iron have a lot of positives. Deserving of
honorable mention are the improved Rodeo Runner, the late running
Brave Sir Robin and the James Jerkens handled Semper Fi. |

| Fillies & mares three years and up go 5 1/2 panels on
the dirt, racing for a claiming tag of $12,500. These fillies
have never won two races lifetime. Ida Can is one of the few in
the field with any consistency, and she is top choice by virtue of her
superior speed. Bold Soul shows some speed and can compete in
the exotics. Sugarless continues to drop in class, and is
eligible to improve. Ponchos Sol always tries hard for Jack
Waldie, and is another exotics possibility. |

Synopsis Oaklawn Park Race 9 |
| The American Beauty is a $50,000 stakes for older
fillies & mares going six furlongs on the dirt. Josh's Madelyn
prefers seven furlongs to six furlongs but she is peaking now and it
may not matter. Josh's Madelyn captured the Pan Zareta at
Louisiana Downs with a last to first move that inhaled the
competition, she will try to follow a similar script today. True Tails,
trained by the injured Cole Norman, is a dead red speed burner with a
great chance for the win, her only question mark is a 7 1/2 month
layoff with only two published works. More Moonlight is another
speedster with a chance, we throw out her last, a turf route at
Aqueduct. Immune to Gloom will receive support at the windows,
having experienced success at Delaware Park for Tim Ritchey. |

Political Maneuver |
|
Synopsis Santa Anita Race 3 |
| The third at Santa Anita is a maiden allowance event
for three year-olds to be run at seven panels on the dirt. In
these races we look for excellent trainers and bullets on the workout
line. Sadler's Trick, Glory Pass, Latent Heat and Political
Maneuver all qualify and this group of four has a good chance to
produce the winner. Political Maneuver deserves at least a share
of favoritism after running willingly against the big talent
Plagiarist under today's conditions. Bullish Yield, also in
today's field, ran a late closing third behind Political Maneuver in
the same race and is certainly a major exotics threat. Latent
Heat ran a spirited second in his debut and merits respect as well.
Glory Pass ran well in a turf sprint, but is bred to run well on the
dirt. Sadler's Trick is a first time starter for Patrick Biancone. |

Synopsis Santa Anita Race 4 |
| Nine older horses vie for a $52,000 purse
under allowance conditions, to be run at 1 and 1/8 miles on
the grass. The conditions favor horses that have done well,
without winning, in stakes races. The three most logical
candidates are Giant Shift, Thunderfrog and K C Nite Mayr. Giant
Shift will take advantage of a very soft pace and fits the profile, he
closed strongly in the Sir Beufort losing by less than two lengths,
Giant Shift will appreciate the added distance and has a good chance
to win. Thunderfrog is lightly raced and this is his third start
off a long layoff, his speed figures are rapidly rising and he should
be a threa | |
