Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of Jan. 20
QUE CHISTOSO
Trainer: Bob Hess Jr.
Last race: Jan. 15, 8th
Finish: 3rd by 8 1/4
Beyer: 54
Making his debut in a maiden-$30K sprint, this gelding was void of speed, cut the corner, split horses, and finished with run. Good debut, Hess claimed him from Hector Palma.
TIZ A BILLY
Trainer: Brian Koriner
Last race: Jan. 16, 2nd
Finish: 1st by 6 1/2
Beyer: 86
Freshened three months after facing top company last year, this 3-year-old colt crushed maiden turf sprinters and could be tough in the $75,000 Baffle Stakes for 3-year-old turf sprinters Feb. 21.
ALWAYS BELIEVE
Trainer: Peter Eurton
Last race: Jan. 16, 5th
Finish: 2nd by 1/2
Beyer: 64
This filly was 49-1 first time out and was likely best. Hopped, away slowly, extended run, opened up in lane, collared late. Archarcharch filly should be tough second time out.
ENTRECHAT
Trainer: Neil Drysdale
Last race: Jan. 16, 8th
Finish: 4th by 3 1/4
Beyer: 77
First start in more than seventh months, this filly may have needed the start. Pressed a fast pace, battled to the eighth pole, and weakened. She deserves another chance in a similar N1X turf sprint.
INHIBITION
Trainer: Jim Cassidy
Last race: Jan. 18, 6th
Finish: 4th by 6 3/4
Beyer: 67
Sired by Street Sense and produced by a Seattle Slew mare, this maiden colt is begging for two turns. He raced evenly in this sprint and can be followed at longer distances.
