1/14: Santa Anita ($170K Carry)

[Kasept]

Santa Anita managed to produce yet another carryover for Sunday, and the card is pretty darn good. Saturday started great with a big hit in the Gulfstream 4th, and though the rest of the day was mediocre, there were just enough hits to float along.

Hard Spun and Notional got their sophomore campaigns off on the right foot with their LeComte and San Rafael wins; Awesome Gem caught Midnight Lute at the San Fernando thanks to a ridiculously early move by Victor Espinoza on the runner up; Maryland stewards took $40,000 and a 15th Laurel win from Mike Trombetta's Your Bluffing in the Native Dancer with a DQ that put Judith's Wild Rush up; and Kent Desormeaux continued his amazing knack for stakes success getting up with Bright Abundance in the Marshua's River...

Hope you did well...
