Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Apr. 14
Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Apr. 14
Santa Anita:
7th race--
#6 SWEET SWAP (7-2) Very competitive race but Sadler-trained colt was beaten only a head by similar last time over this layout and usually gives his best effort. He switches to leading man Bejarano and looks to have a slight edge in difficult heat.
Yesterday's Result: NO TRICKS FOR JACK finished fourth in 7th race.
Live Longshot: DISTANT IMAGE (2nd race)
ShowVivor: MAKER OR BREAKER (3rd race)
Days Survived: 0

Santa Anita:
7th race--
#6 NO TRICKS FOR JACK (7-2) Filly from D'Amato barn ran well despite trouble (steadied into turn to lose a couple lengths) when finishing a close third to a notch softer last time. She flees the rail for this, has tactical speed and wins more than her share.
Yesterday's Result: DON'T LOSE FAITH finished second in 8th race.
Live Longshot: WARREN'S WILD THING (6th race)
***Live Longshot SHOWME YOURFRIENDS ($19.20) won the 3rd race.
ShowVivor: DEL MAR SUNSET (1st race)

Santa Anita:
8th race--
#10 DON'T LOSE FAITH (7-2) Sophomore filly from Miller barn broke slowly and was fanned very wide into the stretch when making her debut down the hillside course last month. With that race under her belt and switching to wake-up rider Maldonado, tab for big improvement today.
Yesterday's Result: TOP KISSER ($5.80) won the 7th race.
Live Longshot: SHOWME YOURFRIENDS (3rd race)
ShowVivor: ONDINE (4th race)

Santa Anita:
7th race--
#3 TOP KISSER (3-1) Filly from Hollendorfer barn has fired in all four starts, including wire-to-wire wins over this turf course going this distance (one mile) in her last pair. She is quick early but doesn't need the lead, and these connections have been dynamite all meet.
Sunday's Result: SUPER ABILITY ($11.40) won the 9th race.
Live Longshot: THE WHAMMER (5th race)
ShowVivor: ROLANDA (1st race)

Santa Anita:
9th race--
#6 SUPER ABILITY (5-2) On an extremely shallow card (62 horses entered), I will go to the last race and try to squeeze out some value with this older maiden from Gaines barn. He chased an easy winner when finishing second in his return and looks set to stretch out on turf.
Yesterday's Result: FED BIZ finished second in 6th race.
Live Longshot: R S WATSON (7th race)
ShowVivor: IN THE STARS (3rd race)
