Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of May 23
PASCHALITSA
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: May 19, 4th
Finish: 6th by 11 1/4
Beyer: 49
Wheeling back in 11 days and overmatched in a starter allowance, this filly finished last. The toss-out race disguises her form. Follow when she returns to a claiming race.
BURNIE’S ON BOARD
Trainer: Jim Cassidy
Last race: May 19, 8th
Finish: 5th by 5 1/2
Beyer: 63
This first-timer was only prepping in this turf sprint. Settled inside and finished without urging. Unusual Heat sibling to millionaire Moscow Burning can improve with distance and experience.
OCEAN DREAM
Trainer: Ed Freeman
Last race: May 20, 1st
Finish: 3rd by 4 3/4
Beyer: 36
This 2-year-old debuting filly broke first, was rated, kept under a hold while dropping back, and then finished willingly in an obvious prep. She can win a California-bred maiden special weight race next out.
DESERT MADAM
Trainer: Bill Spawr
Last race: May 21, 5th
Finish: 4th by 2 3/4
Beyer: 72
This veteran mare, a six-time winner, did not have an alibi but was claimed by top first-off-the-claim trainer Spawr and is likely to improve when she runs back for her new stable. Del Mar?
DAY IN THE SUN
Trainer: Mike Puype
Last race: May 22, 1st
Finish: 4th by 4 3/4
Beyer: 75
This class-dropping gelding had a compromising trip. Raced inside, buried in traffic at the quarter pole, shuffled and lost position, and rerallied. Claimed by Puype for $25,000, fits vs. similar.
