Dave’s Comments:
“had a useful tune-up on yielding turf when five wide early vs. Rahystrada, who came back to upset the Grade 3 River City ‘Cap ($115.80) at Churchill Downs on Friday; very game winning overnight stake at 1 1/2 miles in the slop prior to layoff.”

Calder Race Course
Anthony Schweiker (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 8: Sky Gate (PP: 3 ML 2-1)
Anthony’s Comments:
“ran a huge race to be third last time out under these conditions, given that he was not only making his Calder debut, but also his U.S. debut as well. I’m looking for him to improve off of that race.”
Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 4: Zephaniah (PP: 3 ML 5/2)
Chuck’s Comments:
“won his last turf start before turning in an even effort against much better on the main track last time. Has never failed to pick up a check in his limited turf opportunities and showed improvement in each start. Getting a big drop from his last start and drops a notch off his strong turf efforts.”
House Handicapper
Best Bet – Race 8: Bimbo Magic (PP: 8 ML 5/2)
Comments:
“Hat trick on agenda.”
Hollywood Park
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 4: Khendum (PP: 5 ML 2-1)
Brad’s Comments:
“First-time starter KHENDUM debuts for “Team Zenyatta” with a series of sharp workouts while facing a modest field of maiden fillies. Mike Smith rides the John Shirreffs trainee for owners Jerry and Ann Moss; her workouts suggest she will fire her best shot first time out. On paper, she looks like the most probable winner on the card.”
Los Alamitos Race Track
Ed Burgart (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 9: La Chayito (PP: 3 ML 8/5)
Ed’s Comments:
“was quick from the gate in last strong neck setback vs. class-dropping winner and hails from solid barn.”
Woodbine Racetrack (thoroughbred)
Jim Bannon (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 3: Scopin’ U Out (PP: 8 ML 2-1)
Jim’s Comments:
“was called to win his opener November 19th; even though he was last early, he rallied in time; he is back at the same price and will now face non winners of two.”
