Santa Anita Today

Looks like wet weather all weekend at the Great Race Place. Received word on a horse this morning going in the 4th race today..Spoils Of Excess, number 5 on the program.

Let's see how the new "all weather track" holds up during the wet spell they are having in California. I guess they seal it just like they used to do when they had plain, old, regular dirt. Watched a few races yesterday and it looked good, played very fair with horses on the lead and coming from off the pace winning. Let's hope it keeps the horses healthier just like it's supposed to. Kudos to Garrett Gomez for his ride on our selection, Lemon the other day. He rode that horse perfect. Always patient until he needs to ask for run from a horse. That's what I like to see in a jockey. And of course, the drive to win races that Garrett has. Reminds me of another great jockey, Laffit Pincay Jr.
