Free: Santa Anita horses to watch for week of Oct. 3
GOSEECAL
Trainer: Vladimir Cerin
Last race: Sept. 30, 7th
Finish: 3rd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 57
A lightly raced 2-year-old, this maiden filly raced wide virtually the entire mile race, and still tried to battle back. She can be followed in similar maiden route.
GUNS LOADED
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: Sept. 30, 9th
Finish: 3rd by 1 1/4
Beyer: 98
First start in four months in a Grade 3 turf sprint, this gelding was wide into the lane, rallied through tight quarters, finished okay, and galloped out in front. BC Turf Sprint longshot?
SWINGING STAR
Trainer: Tim Yakteen
Last race: Oct. 1, 1st
Finish: Fifth 5th by 3 3/4
Beyer: 58
Stretching out from a single sprint, this maiden 2-year-old uncorked a big, wide move on the far turn of a turf route before losing his punch. This was a better-than-looked second start.
ELEUTHEROS
Trainer: Jerry Hollendorfer
Last race: Oct. 1, 2nd
Finish: 2nd by 1 3/4
Beyer: 77
A first-time starter, this colt dueled inside on a fast pace, stuck in there until deep stretch, and finished more than six clear of third. He can be long gone next out in a special-weight sprint.
CEDAR RAPIDS
Trainer: Richard Mandella
Last race: Oct. 1, 5th
Finish: 7th by 4 3/4
Beyer: 60
Favored to win a maiden turf route second time out, this colt ran into a roadblock into the lane, steadied behind a wall of horses, and was eliminated. Call it inconclusive.
PAPPOU
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: Oct. 2, 4thFinish: 4th by 3 1/4
Beyer: 76
This maiden had a brutal trip in a turf route. Checked and lost position in far turn, re-rallied wide, and finished well in a race won by the pacesetter. He is a 10-start maiden, but has ability.
