Our Eyes: Colt ran once last year and was put away with an injury probably. Returns bigger and better, Has been working good and huge jockey change from G. Ercegovic to Joe Talamo.

Race 4 – SA
#11 Southern Mischief (4-1) ****
Our Eyes: First-timer from the Bob Baffert barn has been working well enough and gets money jock Mike Smith, who is 42% with Baffert. Nuff said..

GRADED STAKES RACES
Race 5 (Grade II San Felipe): 1. #5 Gormley (9-5), 2. #6 Iliad (5-2), 3. #4 Mastery (6-5). Long shot: #3 Ann Arbor Eddie (8-1).
Don’t understand why Gormley isn’t the morning-line favorite since he hasn’t lost to a West Coast-based horse yet. His only defeat came in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile.
Race 8 (Grade I Triple Bend): 1. #4 Silent Bird (4-1), 2. #5 Masochistic (Even), 3. #3 Kobe’s Back (5-2). Long shot: #7 Conquest Cobra (10-1).
Silent Bird is a perfect 4-for-4 on this track and make his graded stakes debut. Masochistic will be on the lead and will be tough to catch.
Race 9 (Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile): 1. #6 Conquest Enforcer (7-2), 2. #1 Bal a Bali (8-1), 3. #5 Ring Weekend (4-1). Long shot: #4 Dortmund (4-1).
Fascinating part of this race is Dortmund’s Debut in Art Sherman barn (taken away from Bob Baffert) and the 5-year-old making his turf debut. Flavien Prat rides this turf course like he owns it and he does. That’s reason to put Conquest Enforcer on top.
Race 10 (Grade I Santa Anita Handicap): 1. #1 Midnight Storm (8-5), 2. #6 Follow Me Crev (8-1), 3. #3 Shaman Ghost (2-1). Long shot: #7 Twentytwentyvision (12-1).
Trainer Phil D’Amato has turn this once turf speedster into a speedy dirt horse. Come and catch him. Follow Me Crev is 4-for-8 over the track and Shaman Ghost just finished second to Arrogate in the Pegasus at Gulfstream Park.
Good luck.
