Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of Oct. 11
CITY STEEL
Trainer: Rafael Becerra
Last race: Oct. 7, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 77
Four-wide from start to finish while racing two turns in a $25K claiming route, this veteran deserved a better fate. The 12-time winner can handle similar next out with a better trip.
MISCHIEVIOUS LASS
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Last race: Oct. 8, 2nd
Finish: 3rd by 3 1/2
Beyer: 55
This debuting 2-year-old filly was void of speed, finished willingly inside, and galloped out big past the wire in a solid debut in a $75K maiden-claiming sprint.
FULL ACCESS
Trainer: Vladimir Cerin
Last race: Oct. 9, 1st
Finish: 2nd by 1
Beyer: 72
A lightly raced 3-year-old, he pressed the pace three wide in a turf route, fought to the wire, and was claimed for $25K by Cerin from Nestor Capitaine. Likely to continue upward pattern.
TALENT SCOUT
Trainer: Bob Baffert
Last race: Oct. 9, 5th
Finish: 1st by neck
Beyer: 88
Cold in the betting at 8-1, this juvenile colt by first-crop sire New Year’s Day came out firing to score a game win in a highly rated sprint at 6 1/2 furlongs. Big debut, bright future.
COOL BOBBY
Trainer: Peter Eurton
Last race: Oct. 9, 5th
Finish: 2nd by neck
Beyer: 88
Runner-up to Talent Scout, this $575K juvenile by Shanghai Bobby finished clear of third in a big debut. First-time starters from this barn who run this well usually are very good.
