  • DeadHeat · Trick, MMM, and these two all look like they are ready to have a great 2012. My personal favorite is Tapizar, and I hope he can keep up the kind of form he just displayed. · 22 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · Very good race. Corey did an excellent job of switching him off, when normally this colt is not the easiest to get to relax. He keeps relaxing like that and he'll be a major player. · 25 days ago ·

Hat trick for Joel Rosario. Two winners for Rafael Bejarano. On the ticket front I tabbed two Primary (Orbach, Just Mete...Read More
Prayer for Relief has run far and wide in his career of 10 races, but never at Santa Anita. The 4-year-old son of Jump Start trained by Bob Baffert for the Zayat Stables will fill that void on his resume Saturday when he runs in the Grade II, $150,000 San Fernando Stakes for 4-year-olds at 1 1/16 mi...Read More

Karl Watson, Mike Pegram and Paul Weitman's INDIAN FIREWATER (Indian Charlie), best of the rest behind Sidney's Candy (Candy Ride [Arg]) in the December 26 Sir Beaufort S.

Saturday’s pick six from Santa Anita Park includes a pair of Stakes races. First up is the Grade 2 Santa Ynez (6th race) and it looks like a match race between Zazu and Plum Pretty. Sidney’s Candy is out of the Grade 2 San Fernando (8th race) and Thiskyhasnolimit will likely inherit the role of favo...Read More
Sidney’s Candy, who was withdrawn from Saturday’s San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita after he was found to be walking unsound Friday, will undergo a nuclear scan test on his right hind leg Monday, trainer John Sadler said.Sadler downplayed the severity of the problem, which he said was first noticed...Read More
I really don’t understand why Sidney’s Candy isn’t getting more respect on a national level. Yes, I know people rate him as dangerous speed and a very good horse, but outside of California, it seems many don’t give him his due. Maybe it is because he was off the board in his two biggest races, the K...Read More

  • zatt · Sorry, three sprint wins against ... *crickets* ... does not carry more weight than a horse who won five graded stakes on three different surfaces. P.S. - Some of the greatest horses I have ever seen needed the lead. As far as Twirling Candy, you are right, he is very good. It's possible that 2nd best in the barn is 2nd best older horse out there this year. · 392 days ago ·

Grade 1 winner SIDNEY'S CANDY (Candy Ride [Arg]) will seek his second stakes victory of the Santa Anita meet when he lines up for the $150,000 San Fernando S.

  • humphrey · I strongly get the impression that this one could NOT win on the deeper grass surfaces which make up the majority of turf courses throughout the country. When you are running on a putting green with no moisture of springiness to it, you are essentially (as the Brits call it) running on the top of the ground....Take this one to Woodbine Arlington or Saratoga and he would likely be a regular also ran. · 391 days ago ·

Former classic starter Papa Clem took the lead in early stretch and edged away to his first win in seven starts, taking the $150,000 San Fernando Stakes (G2) on Saturday at Santa Anita Park.Read More
After failing as the 6-5 favorite in the Long Branch Stakes at Monmouth Park last summer, and as the 5-2 second choice in the Del Mar Derby in September, Papa Clem finally did his job as a favorite in Saturday's San Fernando Stakes at Santa Anita. Benefiting from an ideal ride by jockey Tyler Baze, ...Read More
Since he beat maidens as a 2-year-old in the final week of 2008, Papa Clem has given owner Bo Hirsch and trainer Gary Stute ample reasons to be ambitious. The colt has won more than $1 million, most of which came with a victory in the Arkansas Derby last April, and placed in four other stakes. When ...Read More
