Dave’s Comments:
“ran subsequent Davona Dale winner (and Ky. Oaks contender) Amen Hallelujah to a close decision first out this year, before a much-the-best win in Grade 2 Beaumont; won both starts vs. statebreds last year by combined 8 1/2 lengths over HOOK ME UP and RAFFIE’S ROSE, and is hard to go past at short price.”

Golden Gate Fields
Chuck Dybdal (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 5: Danny James (PP: 6 ML 2-1)
Chuck’s Comments:
“set the pace before fading badly in his comeback after 364 days on the sidelines. Has been given time to avoid a bounce, and notice the improvement in his second start last year. Drawn outside the other speed which gives his a strategic advantage.”
House Handicapper
Best Bet – Race 8: Roxy (PP: 5 ML 7/5)
Comments:
“Repeat of last will do.”
Hollywood Park
Brad Free (DRF)
Best Bet – Race 5: Deputy Max (PP: 6 ML 5/2)
Brad’s Comments:
“ran the best race of his career last time, pressing a solid pace before getting run over late by two closers. That third-place finish at Santa Anita sets him up for a pace-pressing in on the consistent Cushion Track at Hollywood Park. It sure is nice to wager this spring on a surface that can be trusted, and unfortunate that other synthetic surfaces are not as consistent as Cushion Track at Hollywood.”

Lone Star Park
Rick Lee (house handicapper)
Lee’s Lock – Race 9: Already Blessed (PP: 11 ML 9/5)
Rick’s Comments:
“competed against strong maiden allowance rivals at Fair Grounds, and should handle these if she holds form.”
Best Bet – Race 6: Normandy Shore (PP: 5 ML 2-1)
Rick’s Comments:
“finished second behind a very talented horse just two races back at Houston, and he is back on his best surface following a decent try on turf.”
Best Bet – Race 7: Que Deseo (PP: 5 ML 5/2)
Rick’s Comments:
“was beaten by only two lengths in a superior allowance field at Gulfstream Park, and he has worked sharply at Lone Star for winning connection.”
Long Shot – Race 2: Free Sailing (PP: 3 ML 3-1)
Rick’s Comments:
“may be overlooked after an eighth-place finish, but he is the controlling speed and may go the distance.”
Los Alamitos Race Track
Ed Burgart (track announcer)
Best Bet – Race 8: Regal Tol (PP: 4 ML 8/5)
Ed’s Comments:

Jim Bannon (house handicapper)
Best Bet – Race 8: Big Red Mike (PP: 9 ML 5/2)
Jim’s Comments”
“showed progress second time out last December when getting a quick return; his seasonal bow April 11th was adequate as he finished second behind a preferred winner; he moved nicely on the rail in that event; he has come back to work well with Wilson and now gets the widest post going in this initial route race; he is bred to be a stayer.”
