Horse racing, Santa Anita

Santa Anita early opinions for Sunday, Dec. 28

Race 2: #6 Tough Sunday

One of these days this 2-year-old is going to get out of the gate in good shape and win going away. He has gate issues twice in a row and now jockey Tyler Baze takes over for trainer Steve Miyadi, who is 23% second off the layoff.

Race 4: #6 Mangita

British jockey Kieran Fallon is calling Santa Anita home this meet and he should excel on the turf. Not sure why trainer Bruce Headley ran this 4-year-old filly on the dirt last time because she has never finished worse than second in six tries on the Santa Anita grass.

Race 9: #3 A Colt Following

This gelding gets two turns for the first time and that should be no problem for the son of Montbrook. Trainer Jeff Bonde is 20% going sprint to route and is 22% with jockey Edwin Maldonado.
