RACE 4: MUSICAL AMERICA (#5)
Santa Anita
REDLINE
Trainer: John Sadler
Last race: June 17, 3rd
Finish:1st by 1 1/2
Beyer: 77
Route-to-sprint 3-year-old won going away despite a troubled trip. Claimed for $75,000 by Sadler, 3 for 3 this year at one turn, closing sprinter was worth the money.
Southern California summer racing is relatively quiet during the Los Alamitos daytime meet, which bridges Santa Anita and the July 22 opener at Del Mar. But there is plenty to catch up on, from Kentucky to California. Time to dive in . . .

A few horses in this field exit a May 28 race at this level, in which #5 Lord Flintshire lost by a nose after forging to a slim lead in midstretch. I thought he had every chance that day and showed his major flaw, a tendency to settle for minor awards.
