Betfair Hollywood: Closer Looks for December 21, 2013

Race 1

Sinfully

A little concerned when seeing that he recorded his first finish out of the top three from five turf starts in his latest outing while making his first start for this barn after claim, and it doesn't appear that this race will shape up in favor of his late running style.

Imperative

Bernardini has been a poor influence as a turf sire, but this gelding hasn't run badly in his turf starts since being sent out with Lasix, and it's interesting to see Bejarano get the call for this.

Persuasive Paul

Stakes winning colt was beaten by today's rival Sinfully three starts back, but that was a race that saw Sinfully benefit from an ideal early pace scenario, and he was a member of the O'neill barn then; must consider.

Square Dancer

Circular Quay rates poor as a turf sire but this gelding has turf on the bottom of his pedigree and he's had some success from seven turf attempts; it looks like he's been training well lately, so he might be looking to give a good account of himself after clipping heels and falling in his latest start.

Christopher Street

Maybe there's something to be said for Talamo piloting another in here, but this gelding is capable of producing a decent late run on his best day, and like the idea of blinkers getting scrapped for this.

Jovita's Tuffy

Two of his first three starts have been very nice performances, but he's by a poor turf sire, and his one turf attempt wasn't a positive showing; have mixed feelings, but prefer to stay away from him if this race stays on turf, especially at a short price. - Brian Pochman

Race 2

Courtside

Moves to the fence for his first start since Del Mar while making his first start off this outfit's claim; he's been working well here for his return to the races, but it has been a long time since he's won and the barn hasn't saddled a winner this year; his early foot should keep him close from the bell, though, and that could help him get involved for a share.

Charlie'sboywins

Four time local winner drops off another poor try on the main track; maybe he finds this bunch easier but he'll need to find more early lick than he's shown of late in order to keep himself from having too much to do late at today's slightly shorter trip; prefer others on the win end.

Muchos Besos

Twice beaten chalk steps back up the class ladder for his first crack back under this outfit's care; gray does like it here and he'll switch back to the pilot aboard for each of his last 2 scores; may be set to bounce back to one of his better efforts and if he's able to break alertly again he could beat these home.

Fire in the Wind

Fresh gelding makes his first start in over 8 months off a series of steady drills; he was rght there both at the level and with a notch better at Santa Anita last winter and he has won 4 times over the local footing; still, given the time he's been away from the races he probably ends up needing this one.

Mensa Heat

Seven year old is another who has been away for a while and his efforts prior to the break weren't very much; he does own back efforts that would make him a big player if repeated here and maybe the time off has helped him get back on his game, but he just hasn't been the same horse since moving back into this barn last winter.

Sammy's a Runnin'

Steps up a notch for his first off the claim by this outfit after holding third money at the local trip; he's hit the board without winning in 8 of his 10 starts here and his lack of speed may leave him with work to do late here, but he did work sharply at Santa Anita last weekend. - Steve Grabowski

Race 3

Lust for Life

Wide trip and outrun effort in the career debut but today gets a drastic post-position change able to save ground from the rail draw; posted a mild worktab for a high-percenatge sprint-to-route trainer; some runners improve 2nd-time out and he has plenty of room to move forward.

Blameitonthecat

2nd-time Long is often an improvement angle; adds blinkers for the 1st time a high-percentage win angle for her new trainer; dueled for the lead 2 back and figures to be a major pace presence here; hopes the new hood helps to carry her speed.

Sweet as a Rose

Offered zero gate speed in the career debut hoping a 2nd-time out improvement is on the way as clearly more distance would help the cause; new rider has been having a stellar BHP meeting however her trainer has been icy this season.

Abide in Me

Sire is 3-for-36 with 1st-turf starters; 0-for-1 dam did not race on grass; her only other foal to race is 6-0-1-1- turfer Triple Cross; the winner from last repeated in a BHP-G1 with an 81 Beyer; 3-back is a field-best speed figure; she beat the 9th-place finisher a 46 speed figure -TUP graduate; the added distance here is a concern.

Screen Goddess

Sire is 50-for-541 with 1st-turf starters; out of an unraced dam who produced G1-SW Star Billing (3-for-turf 355K); gets the rematch with Abide Me as they chased a next-out G1-SW (81 Beyer); was screaming out for more distance in the debut and gets it here.

Dancinginthestreet

Sire is 10-for-46 with 1st-turf starters; dam went 4-0-0-1 on grass (30K) producing 4-for-31 turfer Free Brave (169K); 83 days since chasing a sharp-dirt winner; the debut runner-up finisher where she faded Beyerd 75 in a next-out SA-MSW victory.

Kitten de Pere

The way she middle moved in last cutting back to a sprint distance might be the right way to go; the debut winner repeated with a 75 Beyer capturing a BHP-G3 event next out; the worktab for this does not stand out while the 2nd-time out Beyer regression is not a good sign.

Consecrate

Sire is 44-for-436 with 1st-turf starters; dam won 2-of-17 on the green (103K) producing 2-for-8 turfer Harlan Light (47K); was necked by the 2-back runner-up who Beyered 78 taking a BHP-100K stakes win next out; the debut winner and runner-up Beyered 77-69 in next-out BSR-50K stakes and DMR-MSW wins. - Art Gropper

Race 4

Wasted At Midnight

Moves to the fence for the surface switch after tiring from her pace efforts first time on the green; she did run ok on synthetic footing at Del Mar this summer but she doesn't consistently bring a big effort to the table; siding with others.

My Looloo

Filly ran ok on synthetic footing earlier in her career after a couple of off the board finishes going long on the green; new hood didn't do much to move her up last time but she has been working regularly in the interim and the barn does hit at a decent clip with its fresh runners.

Sable in Silks

Drew the fence first out and didn't do much running after breaking a bit slowly from the gate; filly's interim drill was slow and her lone sib was winless from 2 starts; has a right to improve, but would need to take a big step forward to have a say in the outcome here.

Legacy

Tries this surface for the first time while turning back to sprint here; filly has been working pretty well on dirt of late for this and maybe she has a little extra to offer in the lane at this shorter trip; both of her sibs to race are winners including SP, 204K earner Brilliant Future whose 3 route scores all came on synthetic footing.

Teacher Teacher

Statebred offered little in her 2 local spins since returning from the freshening; she offered some ability early in her career, but she's 6 now and hasn't been able to get back to those numbers; barn isn't having much of a meeting.

Tiz Midnight

Had trouble in her late running dirt debut at Santa Anita in the spring and has been working quite well over the local main track for her first start since then; Baffert barn hits at a nice clip with its fresh runners and this gal is the first foal to race out of 2 time G1 SW dam Tough Tiz's Sis who banked 903K; expecting she'll take a good step forward to contend here.

Provenance

Returns to the footing off her wide trip debut run back in the spring after encountering some trouble on the local lawn; both of her sibs to race are winners and maybe she's better second back from the break, but this outfit hasn't enjoyed a very good stand.

Katie's Garden

Ships in from the East coast following a couple of dirt efforts in New York that earned numbers none of today's foes can tough; yes, she'll be trying synthetic footing for the initial time but she's had the opportunity to work over this stuff this month and she is out of a dam who improved with racing and took a G1 stake on this circuit; one to beat at a short price.

Swiss Heart

Hood comes off after blowing a midstretch lead in her second crack over the local main track; runner up in her last 2 draws a solid post from which to secure a tracking spot and she's shown she has some ability, but now this statebred will be taking on open company foes; consider. - Steve Grabowski

Race 5

Luz Atticus

Been picking up small shares against inferior. Out of the money in his one try on turf, though that was at one mile. Beyers are competitive with these and drops 11 pounds with the addition of apprentice Gonzalo Nicolas. Outside glance.

Too Fast to Pass

Five-time winner, but the With Distinction gelding is 0-for-3 on turf. Ran well on this course, however, finishing a close third for $40,000 June 21. Peter Miller has held a hot hand all year and this rider-trainer team has won 6-of-23 (26 per cent) over the last two years.

Old Man Lake

Defeated several of these at this trip June 21 but has been overmatched in three subsequent outings. Talamo will be his fifth different jockey in his last five starts. Kitchingman having a fine year (20 per cent), but is 0-for-7 this meeting. Capable of bouncing back with today's drop.

Kafister

Three victories in seven starts, all at different tracks (Del Mar, Santa Anita, Barretts). Fourth in his only turf attempt, but that was in the 2012 Breeders' Cut Turf Premiew Stakes. Ran well when dropped to this level November 30 and looks like one of many contenders in a contentious field.

Lucky Cotton

Two best efforts came at this trip--a game victory and a second in a pair of California bred maiden special weights during the summer. Distant second against class dropper Designer November 30 and seems to be rounding back to form for Mike Machowsky. Sharp half-mile drill in :47 3/5 since his last has the Lucky Pulpit gelding on edge.

Aerial Artist

Kitten's Joy gelding is the only two-time turf winner in the field. Both victories were going long, but the chestnut comes off a good third in a sprint tuneup November 9. The Paul Aguirre trainee also lost a photo at this distance June 7 against $40,000 starter allowance foes.

Good Company

Ninth and eighth, respectively, in two starts against maidens. The only explanation O'Neill would have for pitting the Good Journey gelding against winners is a chance to run him in a turf sprint. This is the lowest level offered on this circuit under these conditions.

Judge Carr

Bob Hess, Jr. lost the Mizzen Mast gelding for $16,000 November 9 and claimed him back for the same price 20 days later. The California bred overcame a poor start to defeat $16,000 non-winners of two on Cushion Track last time, but his one appearance on turf was poor.

Major Truth

Soundly beaten against similar in his last two, so the Benchmark gelding moves to grass to try his luck on a new surface. Ed Moger, Jr. has shown a flat-bet profit ($2.33 ROI) first time on turf, but would seem to have his work cut out with this one. Did work a sharp half-mile since his last, though.

Botch

Close fifth in a bunched field on Cushion Track November 30 and now tries turf for the first time. Both victories were at Emerald Downs, but has run well enough in Southern California recently to be given an outside look. Key rider change to Corey Nakatani. - Mike Superstein

Race 6

U R Lucky

Improved in her first attempt over this surface while a big price; may get a different type of pace set-up here and move forward for a trainer who has compiled a fine win percentage at the meet; consider on that basis.

Fashionably Rich

Definite improvement second time out when showing far more gate speed before wilting; her sire won a G2 and 583K in total; the dam was without a tally in 2 attempts; among the winning siblings is 107K earner M. J.'s Commander.

Elegant Trick

Turns back from a pair of routes but in the latest one, she was bet down heavily and got involved in a lengthy, multiple speed duel; faced much better stock in her sprint campaign at the beginning of her career and is worth some play now.

Wildcat Janine

New face turned ina sharp blowout from the gate only 3 days ago; her sire won a G3 and 285K (progeny of Bushwacker are 1 for 17 as far as winning their first test); the dam won 9 of 40 and 249K; this is her only foal to compete.

Travel Free

Sired by G3 victor Freespool who notched 527K and whose descendants have won nearly 10 percent of their first tries; the dam involved was zero for 4; winning siblings include 20K earner Love Gone West.

Another Victoria

Hurt by an extra-wide trip in her last showing, she can can fare better here; should be within range of the pure pacesetters and perhaps can gear back a bit in the in the early stages before middle moving; difficult call.

Vegas Bound

Respectable comeback race last month when capturing the place and now drops an important notch; had a vastly improved half-mile workout going into that effort and now seems nicely positioned for a strong stretch rally.

Graycious Guest

Beginner was sired by G2 type Exchange Rate who captured 479K (his descendants have won 61 out of 425 initial starts); the dam won 3 of 22 and 68K; among the winning siblings is 159K earner Lisa M.

Tribal Yodeler

Considering the huge odds 15 days ago, she showed much more spirit when vying for early command; her sire won a G1 and 761K while the mom was zero for 12; this is her sole foal to make it to the starting gate.

Mean Emma Jean

Quit early in her first assignment over the turf but can upgrade quickly with the surface switch; her sire won a G3 and 447K; the dam won 1 of 2 and 10K; among the winning siblings is 646K earner A Shin Wezen.

Pretty Storm

She has gotten in several speed traps and paid the price; may have to be hard used to clear the inside runners who are also intent on the lead; came up empty in her sole attempt at six furlongs; may not some key late scratches in order to atone.

Rushomatic

The blinker experiment did not work earlier this month and notice how heavily she was backed in previous efforts; may surprise with an effective late charge as, if all runners go, a contested pace seems in store; puzzling possibility. - Jim Kachulis

Race 7

Sensationalize

She's out of a multiple stakes winning dam who won 6 of 18 turf starts for 323k and this miss was a sharp winner in her most recent turf attempt two races back while making her first start for this barn; she'll appreciate getting back over turf for this.

Somethingabouther

Multiple stakes placed filly looks like a solid fit at this level of competition, but when considering her for the top spot, she does have to be approached with some caution when seeing that she has just a single win after 15 career starts, and that one win was earned in her career debut.

Sweet Tess

She was beaten by a couple of today's rivals in her latest outing, but she certainly didn't disgrace herself in that race, and perhaps she's a candidate to take a step forward while making her second start back from a layoff; it does look like she recorded an improved workout on December 11 in preparation for this.

Level Headed

This is a barn that has been very live at this meeting and it looks like they have this filly heading in the right direction as she gets ready to make the third start of her current form cycle; Stevens has won with 21 of 76 (28%) mounts for this barn in 2013.

Burns Turn

She has settled for more than her share of runner-up finishes through her first 10 starts but she's proven that she can be competitive against competition of this caliber; both of her starts over this turf course have been good ones and Bejarano has won with 31 of 101 mounts for this barn in 2013.

Foxy Boss

Her most recent start obviously wasn't one of her better performances, but when looking at what she had been doing prior to that, it's probably a good idea to label her a top contender in this spot; she owns excellent positional speed, and she might find herself in good position to strike turning for home.

Backintheacademy

Late running filly earned a career best Beyer Speed Figure in her latest outing, but not only does her best effort appear to be short of the mark of what it will take to win this, she's yet to prove that she can be at her best racing over turf.

Keldy

She enters this race off of back-to-back winning performances, but going to downgrade her latest performance a little bit when seeing that she was able to absolutely steal the opening half mile in her latest start; feel that it will take her best performance to date to get the better of this bunch.

Demonsterous

Her recent form hasn't been her best and don't like to see the way that she's struggled to find a forward gear through the lane, and she has benefited from a comfortable early pace in a couple of her recent starts; she is 1-for-1 over this turf course, but going to look toward others. - Brian Pochman

Race 8

Hasty Trend

Zero for 17 this year, giant odds every time, and is just days away from his eighth birthday. Has competed at the bottom for quite some time, so it's almost impossible to find a reason to like him.

Bluegrass Reward

Good record on Cushion Track (9 3-1-0), but returned from a four-month break December 13 and backed up quickly after showing brief speed. Orozco stays with the Good Reward gelding, but the Spring/Summer meeting's top bug boy has struggled this session with just three victories from 56 mounts. Shorter distance may help.

Bertran Hill

Speed for a half-mile November 15 before tiring to seventh. Prior to that effort, the Bertrando gelding had shown a marked preference for Cushion Track (12 3-0-3), as opposed to a disdain for other main tracks (18 0-3-6). Six-year-old hasn't won since May 7, 2011.

Guidopanzini

Narrow victory for $10,000 on Cushion Track November 8, then could beat only one when raised to $12,500 three weeks later. Lowered to the cellar for the first time and three of the Giacomo gelding's four victories have come on this track. Gutierrez is two-for-two for this trainer with a $27.80 ROI.

Position A

One-time hard knocker has completely lost his form. The 7-year-old hasn't won since 2011 and has been badly outrun all five starts since being claimed for $10,000 July 31. Trainer and rider are a combined 2-for-91 this year. In the money 8-of-12 on Cushion Track, but seems a shell of his former self.

Justa Gusta

Barn struggling this meeting (23 0-1-3), however these connections (Knapp-Maldonado) have enjoyed a great deal of success (33 per cent, $7.31 ROI) over the last two years. Matty G. gelding hasn't been beaten that badly lately and a superfecta finish is a possibility.

Cost of Freedom

Now 10 and racing at the bottom, the Cee's Tizzy gelding still exudes class. With earnings over $1 million, the Genaro Vallejo trainee is 4-for-10 this year and plenty competitive. He's a 5-time winner on Cushion Track, including the Grade III Los Angeles Handicap in 2010 and also won the 2008 Grade I Ancient Title at Santa Anita. Bejarano rides.

Change of Plan

Won a restricted $12,500 claimer at Santa Anita, but added front wraps next out and finished a distant third for $10,000. Re-fitted with blinkers by Peter Miller, who has a fine record (18 per cent, $2.71 ROI) with that equipment change. The Miller-Espinoza combo has won 26 per cent since January, 2012.

Always the Same

Off slowly from the rail, quickly gained position, then faltered late in a $16,000 non-winners of three lifetime at Santa Anita October 24. Tired to third for $10,000 at Fresno in his previous start and is winless in four tries on Cushion Track. Puglisi enjoying a big meet (5-for-14) and has a productive relationship with this barn (16 per cent, $2.43 ROI).

Bigbari

Most of his races are terrible, but when he does fire, it's usually accompanied by a big payoff. The 7-year-old's last two victories produced winning odds of 14-1 (November 26, 2011) and 54-1 (September 22, 2013). He'll need to awaken from a deep slumber in his last three starts.

Da Ruler

Fair second for this price November 15, but shortened stride noticeably next time out in a $10,000 non-winner of a race in 2013. Tries with blinkers today, but this once promising runner is a risky proposition. - Mike Superstein

Race 9

Kochees

Both of his starts sprinting over turf have been sharp performances, especially when considering one was in his career debut, and the other was after a layoff; feel that he's an interesting option to consider while getting rid of blinkers.

U S Citizen

Although he has just a single victory next to his name after 10 starts, his turf form has been consistently sharp, and he's one of just two in here that has touched 90 on the Beyer Speed Figure scale racing over turf; he has a lot of turf on the bottom of his pedigree, and viewing it as a positive that he's being reunited with Bejarano.

Weewinnin

Sire wins with approximately 13% of his turf starters and dam was unraced; he jumped up at 60-1 to earn a stakes win two starts ago and the 3rd finisher from his latest race won next out at SA on 3/1 going 1m over turf vs. N1X alw. rivals with a 78 Beyer, and has since become a multiple stakes winner.

Ankeny Hill

This colt hasn't run a bad race to date and like to see the way that he's stepped up his game along the Beyer Speed Figure scale since being placed over turf three starts back; he might have a tough time avoiding an early pace dispute, but he merits respect as a contender.

Brokered

Sire wins with approximately 11% of his turf starters and dam won once from 12 starts for 43k, including 1 of 5 turf starts for 25k; stakes placed gelding is a 1/2 to Tatum Tot (3-9, 95k over turf); this isn't a soft spot for his first turf start, but not willing to count him out of it.

Di Conti

Lightly raced 4-year-old appears to be improving and he has a really nice sprint pedigree; respect what he did in his second turf attempt in his latest outing, but he will have to step it up over that performance to beat these.

Fit to Rule

He looks like he's more comfortable racing over a synthetic surface than he is over turf or dirt, but when seeing that his only turf start was against graded stakes competition going a mile, it's not unreasonable to give him a chance to see we can do sprinting over the green stuff.

Love de Car

Have to respect what this gelding did in his first three career starts, and even though his latest performance was on the dull side, this barn is eligible to have him ready to bounce back with a sharper try after giving him some time off; he owns big early speed and Mullins is likely going to ask the apprentice to go as fast and as far as he can.

Sheer Talent

Stakes placed colt flashed real ability at times during his 2-year-old and 3-year-old seasons, but when considering the long layoff prior to this, it might not be a bad idea to just watch him today to see what he might be capable of going forward.

Protocol

Sire wins with approximately 13% of his turf starters and dam was winless from six starts, including one turf start; 200k purchase has recorded back-to-back quality starts to begin his career and it's interesting to see his connections waste little time in finding out what he can do over turf. - Brian Pochman

Race 10

Rovenna

Adds the hood for the stretchout after offering a little bit of late run in her first local start; gals who beat her in each of her last 2 starts return in this spot as well so she'll need to step things up in order to factor for anything more than a minor share.

Meinertzhageni

Steps up off the allowance score at a shorter trip and now she'll tackle stakes runners; she's yet to get back to the number she earned first out at Del Mar and that's a concern but maybe her last is a sign she's ready to move forward; in a field that doesn't look to contain a lot of early lick she'll again need to be hustled early.

Casey's Clem

Figure in that debut score was a little light, but she impressed visually in that troubled run and getting off the fence should help her; filly gives the indication today's added trip will be right up her alley and she's working like the initial spin took little out of her; consider.

Global Hottie

Baffert filly looked pretty good atoning for the first out odds on defeat when trying synthetic footing for the initial time at another short price last month; she'll try stakes company in this spot, but she has sharp tactical foot and gives the indication today's slightly longer trip will benefit her; looks as if she's primed to repeat.

Shysheisnot

Maiden encountered some trouble while getting second money behind the impressive winner who returns in this spot as well; she was well ahead of the third place finisher in that heat and off the try maybe she does belong in stakes company right now; worth a good look.

Feature Attraction

Showed speed on the drop in her return from the brief freshening but she had little to offer late; filly has returned to work on the slow side for a barn that doesn't do so well second back from the break and they have had a pretty rough stand; looking elsewhere.

Swiss Lake Yodeler

Looked pretty good taking the Santa Anita stake in her first route spin and now she'll give synthetic footing try; filly has been working up a storm here of late and she'll switch to a top pilot for this one; they'll have her to beat on the turn back.

Sprouts

She's been idle since Del Mar when tossed in against G1 fillies at today's trip; she worked well last week here but she needed a race before she got on track in the spring and though she has the speed to be a factor here, will probably be better next time.

Kukaluka

Ships down here to join an outfit that does a nice job with its newly acquired runners; filly moved forward when put on the green and stretched out upstate and she'll be asked to try a new kind of footing in this spot; gets a solid pilot and will likely be doing her better running late, but a minor award will probably prove her ceiling.

Stole a Kiss

Adds shades for the turn back to sprint after proving little threat to some of these on the Santa Anita dirt; filly did run well from out of it in the Del Mar maiden breaker and one turning does appear to be her best game; if the new equipment can help her stay closer early she may be able to get in the mix at a price. - Steve Grabowski

Race 11

Writer Fever

Stormin Fever about 7% with first-time turf runners in a 223-runner study; sire graduated at 2, won a G3, was G1 placed, took 8 of 21, earned almost $500K, never tried grass; 4 for 21 dam never turfed; several multiple race winners in the family, one was a double winner at 2, none tried grass; must hurry.

Capers N Wine

Suances 5 for 27 with first-time turfers; sire won second career start, took a Group 1, was turf only banked over $400K taking 8 of a dozen; 3 for 26 dam was 2nd in best result on grass; the full sis to win cashed once on dirt as older horse; respect.

More Complexity

Limited turf data on Square Eddie; sire won at 2, took a G1, earned over $800K, lost twice on turf; 2 for 8 dam won at 2, was third in only turf out; half bro Last Diamond won at 2, never turfed, banked about $25K; every right to improve.

Gouyen

Tribal Rule about 15% with juvenile debuters in a 204-runner grid, the same percentage with first-time turfers in a 153-runner sample; sire graduated as older horse, took 2 of 4, both on dirt, banked nearly $80K; dam won twice as older horse, earned over $140K, lost only turf start; all 5 siblings won; one took debut at 2, two tried grass to no avail; top kin Mark Up Tiny banked $240K in long career; nice move on the 15th.

Moscato Girl

Desert Code 0 for 2 with first-time turfers; sire won at 2, took multiple Grade 3s and BC Turf Sprint, banked over a million; dam was unraced; 3 of 4 siblings won; none cashed at 2 but one was a double winner on grass; homebred must be considered.

Council Talk

Council Member 1 for 7 with first-time turfers; sire took juvenile debut on turf in England, won stakes, banked nearly $350K; 6 for 13 dam won debut at 2, never turfed, banked over $100K; lone half sis took one sprint as older horse, was out of the money in only turf try; may need softer.

Browsing

Dixie Chatter one for 5 with first-time turfers; sire won twice at 2, took a Grade 1, won twice on grass, banked over $450K; 2 for 9 dam didn t go at 2, won on grass once; the sibling that won cashed twice as older horse, was 0 for 4 on grass; she could have sulked after the poor start but she tried hard; the race came back okay as the 3rd and 4th finishers took maiden claimers next out; figures in the picture late.

Keepnherinthedark

Fairly close up in last but the pace was slow; dam won on grass, banked $160K; 3 of 4 sibs won; 2 tried at 2 to no avail; 3 raced on grass but failed to win on turf; at least she got a feel of the surface.

Ipolita

See Gouyen for sire stats; 3 for 4 dam didn t go at 2, didn t race on grass; family solid; all 5 siblings won; there was not turf success but one cashed at 2 and top kin banked over $260K; out to atone for flop as chalk.

Anniversary Kitty

See Gouyen for sire stats; dam was unraced; 3 of 4 siblings won; 2 won at 2 including a debut winner; top kin and full bro Indian Ashton won 4 times on turf, banked nearly $300K; like fact she drilled this far.

Princess Genevieve

Whatsthescript 1 for 3 with debuting juveniles, 0 for 1 with first-time turfers; sire won twice at 2, took G2s on grass, banked over a million; dam took one sprint as older horse on dirt; this is her first to race; love this work pattern.

Emotional Drive

Birdonthewire 7 for 95 with first time turfers; sire won juvenile debut in Philly going short, took multiple stakes including a G1, earned over $500K, was 2nd on grass in best turf moment; dam 0 for 16; lone full sis won once on dirt as older horse; looms brief threat.

Snort'n Matilda

Limited data on Snorter with first-time turfers; sire took a Grade 3, won 5 of 25, banked nearly $250K, once ran third on grass; 2 for 23 dam handled grass; lone half sis was 0 for 12; may need maiden sellers. - Brian Mulligan
