ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 27, 2016)—Third a quarter mile from home, Boozer wheeled three-wide at the top the stretch and was up to win Saturday’s $100,000 Sensational Star Stakes by a head under Gary Stevens.  Trained by Mark Glatt and owned by Al and Sandee Kirkwood, Boozer negotiated 6 ½ furlongs down Santa Anita’s hillside turf course in 1:13.03.

Breaking from post position 10 in a field of 11 older horses bred or sired in California, Boozer sat a comfortable trip early behind pacesetter and eventual runner-up Richard’s Boy and favored Forest Chatter.

“He loves this turf course,” said Stevens.  “He runs well off the hill even though he hasn’t run off it for a while.  Mark had him sharp today and he broke real sharp.  I just followed Mike (Smith, aboard favored Forest Chatter) the whole way down the hill and when we...

Santa Anita Stable Notes – Ed Golden for Saturday, Feb 27th

• SMOKEY IMAGE, DANZING CANDY BREEZE FOR SAN FELIPE
• OCTOGENARIAN AGENT DEGREGORY FINE AFTER THROAT SURGERY
• TEXAS RED IN EASY WORK FOR HIS FOUR-YEAR-OLD DEBUT

QUARTET WORK FOR SAN FELIPE STAKES

Undefeated California-bred Smokey Image worked six furlongs Saturday morning under Victor Espinoza in a bullet 1:12.20 as he prepares to run against open company in the Grade II San Felipe Stakes on March 12.

The clocking was the fastest of 30 at the distance, the average time of which was 1:14.45. Smokey Image, a son of 2004 Santa Anita Handicap winner Southern Image, won the California Cup Derby at 1 1/16 miles by 8 ½ lengths on Jan. 30 in his first start for Gaines and his first at two turns.

Gaines was well satisfied with the drill by Smokey Image, as she was with Bolo’s five furlong workout on the main track in a minute flat.

Bolo, winner of the Grade II Arcadia Stakes a mile on grass Feb. 13, is being considered for either the Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile on turf or the Grade I, $1 million Santa Anita...

Selections By “The Ace” John Hernandez – Feb 27th

RACE 1 10 Axem Jack finished strongly in his allowance-level race … a repeat of that effort will make him tough to beat. 4 Rags Ta Cash stumbled at the start in his most recent outing … a better break gives him a shot in this one. 5 Sustainable broke her maiden for the meet’s top trainer last out … maybe she can run with these winners.

RACE 2 5 Timepaintyourwagondw picks up “money man” Vallejo for her fourth of the season … maybe that’s the diff? 1 Beyondbono is out of a solid trial heat try earlier this month … she’s got a shot if she runs back to that one. 8 Soraya Seis missed by a neck to Sustainable on 2/12 …her trainer/jockey tandem has done well together.

RACE 3 6 Jeshereforagoodtime has been sidelined since running well here last season … Kearl/Vallejo can win this. 10 Gambit finished third behind the now 3X winner Ratifys Egyptianking … she should be right in the thick of it. 3 Dynasty Queen 123 ran decently in her first try against winners … she can impact here with a little bit more.

RACE 4 3 One Tough Rio won a NW3/L when running above conditions last out …...
