JONNY’S CHOICE
Trainer: Bill Spawr
Last race: May 11, 7th
Finish: 8^th by 13 3/4
Beyer: 66
Outrun in a fast Cal-bred sprint, this 9-for-44 veteran was claimed by Spawr, who does super first off the claim. Expect the 8-year-old to be freshened for summer. Del Mar comeback?

Heavy rains on Saturday guaranteed the grass races would be moved to the main track on Sunday at Monmouth Park, and they in fact were. That was good news for trainer Jorge Navarro, who has Main Track Only entrant TOO CLEVER BY HALF perfectly spotted in the day's 8th race. The price will be light, but she does appear to be a lynchpin in this sprint.

Race 1:

Spotty Zealous (#3)
The Pace Projector is predicting he will be on the lead in a situation favoring the frontrunner.
Gave up his forward position over a track that was favoring speed last time.
Don’t trust either of the favorites, Z Royal and Hard Hitter.

ARCADIA, Calif. - Friday’s pick six paid $1,153 at Santa Anita, but because there were ample winning tickets the carryover in the single-ticket jackpot pool has swelled to $94,495 for Saturday.

The winners of Friday’s pick six races were Bombard ($10.20), Sly Humor ($6.20), Algorhythmic ($2.80), Super Echelon ($4.20), I’ll Wrap It up ($10), and Te Amo Mamo ($4.40). Consolation tickets with five winners paid $13.

Friday’s program began with two carryovers - $38,700 in the main pool and $73,257 in the single-ticket jackpot pool. Bettors added $185,521 to the pool Friday.

Saturday’s card at Santa Anita features two stakes races – the Desert Code down the hillside turf course, and the Grade 3  Laz Barrera for 3-year-olds going seven furlongs on the main track. The third race also features a very promising 3-year-old dirt sprinter; all three of these events happen to be carded early, so I’ll hope to put together a winning pick five play.
