Feb 27, 2016

We thought our IdaBet.com players would enjoy reading quotes from recent action at Santa Anita – including Idaho’s own Gary Stevens.

Thanks for choosing IdaBet.com!

 

JOCKEY QUOTES

Gary Stevens

Gary Stevens & Boozer

GARY STEVENS, BOOZER, WINNER: “He loves this turf course. 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 Forest Chatter) the whole way down the hill and when we crossed the dirt, I pushed the button and he just ground it out. He’s a lot of fun to ride, he’s a true professional.

“I knew when I got up to the top of the hill before the race that he was sharp. He was on his toes; he was dancin’ and prancin’ around. He went into the gate aggressive. I told Mark this morning that I was going to try and put him on the lead, or close to it and he just smiled at me.”

 

FLAVIEN PRAT, RICHARD’S BOY, SECOND: “I had a good race today. Last time I rode him, I wasn’t on the lead and I think being on the lead today made all the difference. He’s so much better on the turf, he did a great job. It’s always sad to be beat by so little, but I don’t have any excuses.”

TRAINER QUOTES

 

MARK GLATT, BOOZER, WINNER: “He comes with his game every time. Sometimes they’re a little bit better than him and sometimes we’re running him at a distance that he’s not at his best, because he’s a good Cal-bred, and to run against Cal-bred company, sometimes the distances fluctuate a little bit.

“I think a mile, a mile and a sixteenth are his best distances, a mile and an eighth is a hair...

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

Smokey Image

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 …...

Buffalo Raceway Tips & Updates For IdaBet.com Players; Big Card On Saturday

We thought our IdaBet.com players would like to know It’s the best card thus far of the 2016 season from top to bottom at Buffalo Raceway on Saturday night (Feb. 27) as the 12-race program will carry $116,500 in purse money.

The featured race is the $24,000 finals of the popular Niatross Knockout Claiming Series along with the $10,000 consolation event. Bolstering the program will be the highly competitive $10,000 Open Pace as well.
The evening will mark the return of Jim Morrill Jr. as he begins his 2016 campaign. It’s safe to say he’s not easing into the year as he is slated to drive in 11 of 12 races. Morrill Jr. won 264 races last year and more than $5.4 million in purses.
Also appearing at the Hamburg half-mile oval will be driver Bruce Aldrich Jr. who sits eighth place nationally in victories this year with 65. He was fourth in 2015 with 663.
After three consecutive weeks of eliminations, the Niatross finale has eight combatants ready to go at it for the title which is scheduled for the eighth race.
Mach It Paid (Jim McNeight) is the 5-2 morning line favorite starting from the four post. He has finished either first or second in all six starts in 2016.
Flashy Trick drew the rail with current Buffalo Raceway leading driver David McNeight III and has been installed at 7-2. The 7-year-old gelding has won two legs in the series including a wire-to-wire trip in 1:58 last week in the semi-finals.
Beechwood Wayne rides a two-race win streak but has the seven post with Drew Monti slated to be in the bike at 5-1.
Others in the race include Midas Blue Chip (Truman Gale), Delightful Caitlin (Ron Beback Jr.), Tymal Torch (Ray Fisher Jr.), M G Jade (Morrill Jr.) and First Of Fun (Aldrich Jr.).
The consolation race has Aberarder Smitty drawing the rail at 5-2...
