Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of Jan. 14, 2019
SPEAKERS
Trainer: Andrew Lerner
Last race: Jan. 10, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 3
Beyer: 65
This turf-route mare had an odd trip. Saved ground, stuck behind runners at the quarter pole, never asked to run in the stretch, and finished evenly. The race was inconclusive. Fits with N3L or Cal-bred N1X.
SOOTHING
Trainer: Bob Hess, Jr.
Last race: Jan. 10, 3rd
Finish: 2nd by 4
Beyer: 67
In her second start, first route and first start in two months, this maiden filly ran well. She broke slowly, rallied wide, loomed a threat, lost her punch, and finished 10 clear of third.
MAYAN WARRIOR
Trainer: Steve Knapp
Last race: Jan. 13, 8th
Finish: 4th by 5 3/4
Beyer: 54
Favored to win a starter-allowance mile, this gelding was bogged down inside, steadied and lost momentum at the quarter pole, and was unable to recover. This race was a toss. Follow vs. similar.
SATCHEL PAIGE
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Jan. 13, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 9 3/4
Beyer: 61
A debut 3-year-old, this maiden hopped and was away last in a Cal-bred sprint, trailed by many, then finished with run. Grazen colt wants two turns, eventually.
