Muy Caliente!

Hola amigos,

Welcome to a Sunday Evening of racing with a nine race card highlighted by a classy and talented field of 10 colts and geldings going The Kaweah Bar Handicap tonight in the last race. Today is closing day at Santa Anita Park and I am definitely going to miss the great race place and overall it was good meet across town. Opening day at Betfair Hollywood Park is upon us and hopefully the new branding brings new positive changes and improvements to the facility and the racing. Beginning with this new meet at Hollywood, I will be contributing with some work and content on the site TheRacingEdition.com and my Los Alamitos focus will still remain here at LosPonies.com. Exciting racing to look ahead with the Kentucky Derby upon us and the upcoming futurity trials at Los Alamitos in the near future. Good card today so lets get to the early pick four tonight.

Race 1: In this first race I will start with a single. I believe this is the opportunity for #5 Chocolate Caliente to show what he is made of here at Los Alamitos. He has lots of back class but his last two breaks have not been lucky for him. He was claimed last start for $5k and now drops to the bottom for $2k and his trainer and Jockey combo are winning at 45% and most important off all, his jockey is a good hustling out the gate rider. Single.

Race 2: This race is filled with lightly raced and improving horses. I will use what I believe are the four logical horses: #1 Lv Amanda First, #4 Castellammare, #6 Bw Prettyquickchick, and #7 Moonra (top pick).

Race 3: I will go three deep in this race where I believe that #1 Looking Out will either lose or win the race at the break. #2 Grand Mischief has abundant back class and her two starts at los alamitos (1win and 1 second) make this runner my top pick. Also using #6 Iva Attitude just because it seemed that in her last race she got an educational run over the track and could pop up with a good effort this time out.

Race 4: To close out the pick four play today I will go two deep. Top pick will be #3 Tac It To Heart who comes off a good second in a handicap last out and her win two back was impressive on paper and even better visually. I will also throw in the classy filly #4 Last to Check Him who is making her second start off a layoff and her last race was a troubled trip from the beginning.

$24 Early Pick Four: 5/1,4,6,7/1,2,6/3,4

Good Luck and lets get some winners.

I watch horses run around.
