Golden Gate, Horse racing, Los Alamitos

Los Alamitos RC for Sunday, Sept. 18 (Plus Golden Gate)

Preview: Jockey Stewart Elliott hit the wall after nine winners the first week as he was shut out the first two days of this week. Jockey Kent Desormeaux showed up on Friday and won his first race. Fernando Perez and Tiago Periera after having good meets.

Race 1: #4 He’s a Dandy (4-1)
Our Eyes: Trainer Wilton Whitehouse hit with a Northern California Fair bomber earlier this week and he has this gelding ready to run here. Felipe Martinez takes the mount and the 8-year-old has a good work over the track. Whitehouse is 22% with shippers.

Race 4: #6 Shakeitupbetty (3-1)
Trainer Dean Pederson claimed this mare at Del Mar and drops her a level. He no doubt got her for this spot as she is 1-for-1 over the track. Pederson is 22% first off the claim and Abel Lezcano keeps the mount.

Race 7: #2 Sidepocket Run (5-2)
This mare won at this level at Santa Anita and trainer Phil D’Amato drops her from an open race back in with Cal-breds today. The 7-year-old is 5-2-0-2 at this distance and jockey Martin Garcia, who is 21% with D’Amato, takes over.

GOLDEN GATE

Race 1: #4 Ain’t No Other (5-1)
Trainer Tim McCanna brought this gelding to Del Mar, lost him via a claim and re-claimed him back to bring him back to his favorite track. This 8-year-old 11-5-3-1 at GG and 16-5-5-4 on synthetic tracks. McCann is 24% first off the claim and 20% with jickey Ricardo Gonzalez.

Race 3: #3 Mizzen Me (6-1)
Tough to explain the last race other than he lost to a Bob Baffert good thing. Now Keith Desormeaux ships him north to try turf for the first time. The sire Mizzen Mast gets 11% first out winners on grass.

Race 7: #1 Terrys Tom Cat (4-1)
Does this sound familiar? Trainer Tim McCanna brought this gelding to Del Mar, lost him via the claim box and re-claimed him. He cuts him back in distance and jockey Frank Alvarado, who is 23% with McCanna, jumps on.
