__________________________________________________ ____________________________
RACE 1: Post: 12:00 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 6-Amy C; 3-Lady Edith
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: Trainer Phil D’Amato saddles the two major players in this year’s edition of the Las Cienegas Stakes-G3 for older fillies and mares. A two-time winner over this course and distance, Amy C is clearly the one to beat after an authoritative score in the listed Senator Ken Maddy Stakes during the fall meeting, one that produced a career top speed figure. Worth pointing out is that her allowance win last summer under these conditions was impressive as well. She has been successful off a layoff in the past and her recent drills indicate that she is fit and ready, so if you can get close to her morning line of 5/2 you’ll be getting solid wagering value. Stable mate Lady Edith arrives from New York, where she displayed excellent grass sprinting form when conditioned by Christophe Clement. She has an ideal stalking style for the Hillside Course and has trained sharply since joining the D’Amato barn. Furthermore, she’s every bit as fast on numbers as the favorite and employs a similar second flight style, so if she adapts to this unique layout the veteran daughter of Street Boss will be a strong threat in the final furlong.

RACE 2: Post: 12:30 PT Grade: B-
Main ticket: (in order of preference): 5-Nyvan; 9-Point and Shoot
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: Morning line favorite (5/2) Nyvan stretches out for the first time after three okay turf sprints and can be the controlling speed if her connections want her to be. Bred for distance (Nyquist out of a Candy Ride mare), the Doug O’Neill-trained filly may not be one to totally trust (she was a beaten favorite in her first two starts) but if she can clear without being sent hard she’s a good candidate to wire the field over a turf course that so far in this young season has favored the speed. Point and Shoot, restless in the gate and off slowly, picked it up with some energy in the final quarter to wind up a non-threatening but reasonable fourth at 53-1 in her debut in November at Del Mar in a similar state-bred affair and has every right to produce a forward move with that experience under her belt. The number wasn’t bad, so in a lackluster affair she may be worth a gamble at her morning line of 8-1. We’ll include both in our rolling exotics.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 3: Post: 1:00 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 1-Filfty Fast
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: Judging by her workout times, debuting Filthy Fast apparently has plenty of speed but was nice and relaxed in a solo main track drill December that on video was visually quite pleasing, so we’re expecting this daughter of Kobe’s Back to be extremely live and well-meant in this maiden optional claimer for sophomore fillies. Listed as the 2-1 morning line favorite and deservedly so based on what we can gather, the Luis Mendez-trained filly should be capable of dominating this modest group from gate to wire, assuming she leaves cleanly from her rail draw. In a race begging to be won by a newcomer, we’ll make her a win play and rolling exotic single.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 4: Post: 1:30 PT Grade: X
Main ticket (in order of preference): 1-Who’s Candy
Backups/Savers: none

Forecast: We’re somewhat surprised that after finishing second in his last pair, two races back in a $50,000 optional claimer and then most recently in a first-level allowance state-bred sprint (with a purse of $74,000), Who’s Candy is being dropped and dangled like claim bait in this $32,000 seller (purse of $37,000), so we’re not entirely convinced that what we’ve seen from him is what we’ll get today. With a huge edge in the speed figure department, the Danzing Candy gelding should dominate if he has (at least) one good left, but at a no value, short price, so this might be a race to be left alone.

__________________________________________________ ___________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 5: Post: 1:59 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 7-Miss Commander
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: Miss Commander was beaten seven lengths when second in her debut at Los Alamitos in a similar maiden $50,000 sprint last month but she was six clear of the rest, so it wasn’t a bad effort at all for the John Sadler-trained filly. The barn is extremely strong with the second-time starter angle (25% with a substantially positive ROI) so we’re expecting the daughter of Square Eddie to step forward today and handle this below average band of maiden claiming state-bed sophomores. Two nice breezes at Los Al where she’s based should tick her over nicely. At 3-1 on the morning line, she’s a win play and rolling exotic single at anywhere near that price.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 6: Post: 2:29 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 1-Lucky for You
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: A half-sister to three stakes performers and closely related to Hollywood Derby-G1 winner Mo Town, Lucky for You finally makes it to the post as a 4-year-old and shows a series of excellent team works that should lead to a winning performance in this extended turf sprint for older fillies and mares. The Bob Baffert barn hits at a remarkable 29% with debut runners and this daughter of Uncle Mo should enhance the stats based on what we’ve seen on video compared to the others in the field with prior experience. She’s listed at 4-1 on the morning line but likely will go lower as a recommended win play and rolling exotic single.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 7: Post: 3:00 PT Grade: C+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 7-Italiano; 2-Established
Backups/savers: 1-Nice Guy Clay; 6-Next Revolt

Forecast: Here’s a challenging $20,000 extended main track sprint for older horses that requires considerable coverage in rolling exotic play. Italiano is a first-off-the-claim play for trainer Jeff Mullins (good stats with this angle) so we’re expecting a snap back performance after two substandard outings by this veteran son of Twirling Candy. The two-time winner over the Santa Anita main track, is reunited with “win rider” Juan Hernandez and projects to settle in mid-pack outside and then have clear sailing and every chance to produce a successful late kick. Established is capable of winning at this level when he’s feeling good, but after being a voided claim in his last start and a beaten favorite in his last pair, he may be a hard one to trust. A decent recent work tab leading up to his first outing since early October and the presence of Flavian Prat in the saddle are positive signs, so it’s possible the Tim Yakteen-trained gelding will fire a good shot fresh. Nice Guy Clayrepresents dangerous inside speed and could stick around awhile with the weight break he enjoys under a capable bug boy, while Next Revolt moves up a notch following a clever Del Mar win from a cozy outside post while enjoying a trip that may have flattered but has numbers that fit and projects to enjoy a good second flight, stalking journey.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________________

RACE 8: Post: 3:30 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 4-Motorius
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: Motorious is a prototype late-running turf sprinter fresh from a clever win over five furlongs at Del Mar in late November that produced a career top speed figure facing first-level allowance foes. The Phil D’Amato-trained import moves up a notch today, but this group should be within his capabilities, and a recent bullet training track drill (5f, :59 flat, fastest of 18) gives strong indication that another forward move is likely. With Flavian Prat riding him back and at 5/2 on the morning line, the Irish-bred gelding is a win play and rolling exotic single.

__________________________________________________ ____________________________
__________________________________________________ ____________________________

RACE 9: Post: 4:00 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 4-Harlocap; 6-Navy Man
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: The two best prospects in this maiden 3-year-old field are trained by – surprise! – Bob Baffert, who should expect good things down the road from both Harlocap and Navy Man, both of whom displayed ability in recent sprints and have the pedigree to improve a ton with distance and experience. Harlocap finished eagerly behind runaway winner Spun Intended in a fast, highly-rated Del Mar dash in mid-November in a race in which sixth place finisher Johannes came back to win by nine lengths sprinting on turf on Saturday. The son of Justify seems certain to produce a significant forward move with that tightener under his belt and strong workouts since, so with Johnny V. riding him back and along with the addition of Lasix this $400,000 Timonium purchase looks ready to graduate. Stable mate Navy Man is the one he’ll have to worry about. The son of Bolt d’Oro shows the classic two-sprints-and-a-stretch out pattern with two strong speed figures on his resume, so if he takes the next leap as expected (in his first start with Lasix) he be within range throughout and be ready to pounce when the button gets pushed. We’ll give Harlocap – priced at 7/2 on the morning line – the slight edge on top but both are “must uses” in rolling exotic play.

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ____________________

RACE 10: Post: 4:30 PT Grade: B+
Main ticket (in order of preference): 1-Tio Magico
Backups/savers: none

Forecast: Tio Magico turned in a remarkable effort when second in a similar middle distance turf event for entry-level allowance older horses at Del Mar last time out. Forced to race wide every step of the way without cover and getting fanned out badly at the head of the lane when commencing his rally, the Uncle Mo gelding found another gear in the final furlong and finished with purpose but simply had too much to overcome and felt short in the closing stages. Today, from his coveted rail post position, the Phil D’Amato-trained gelding is guaranteed a ground-saving trip, so anything close to his most recent performance should be more than good enough to get him back in the winner’s circle. We’ll take his 6-1 morning line price right now, though we suspect he’ll leave at a shorter number. With a reasonable degree of confidence, we’ll make him a win play and rolling exotic single.

Al Cimaglia: Cal Expo Pick 4 Analysis-$25,000 Guaranteed Pool

January 2, 2023 | By Al Cimaglia

Cal Expo has been dealing with rainy weather, after cancellations on Friday and Sunday 2023 racing will begin with a 10-race program tonight. The 0.20 Pick 4 rolls in Race 7. The sequence has $25,000 guaranteed pool with a 16% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 7

1-West Coach Beach (12-1)-Drops out of Opens and did beat this kind the previous start on a sloppy track. Got a suck-around trip that night and the same type of journey could happen this time.
6-He Grins Again (4-1)-Hasn't been able to close in the last 2 but they were on an off-track. That shouldn't come as a surprise, hasn't won on a wet surface in 34 tries. Can offer a fair price, Plano returns and will look for better.
8-Captain Terminator (4-1)-Rallied up 1st over and it looked like a picture was about to happen but fell short to a well-meant winner. Drops and looks like a major player with a good steer.

Race 8

2-Casa Miasa (2-1)-Closed nicely to win in the slop and should be a threat for a repeat with this post draw. Usually gets bet and that will probably be the case again.
3-Wonder Of Love (5/2)-Comes off a brave effort on a sloppy track from the 9 hole. Doesn't win very often but fits and could be better in the 3rd local start.
7-Brooklyn Wind Up (5-1)-Nothing went right in the last trip from the word "go". Short field should help and could be overlooked. Will look for a sharp steer from Thiessen and to be in striking range at the top of the lane.

Race 9

3-Johnnys Gal June (6/5)-The Johnson barn has been cold but this mare should relish the company. Drops to a spot to shine and could connect for the 1st CalX win of the meet.
4-I will Do it (6-1)-This will be 3rd start on Lasix and showed improvement in last versus similar. Should be forwardly placed again and can win right back at a square price.

Race 10

3-Lucky Lil Lady (8/5)-A fast track would help and should have her way with this crew if fully acclimated to Cali coming from the Midwest. Speedy filly faces older but will look for a big try in the 2nd CalX start.
5-Jessies Girl (12-1)-This will be the 4th race here and was off a month before its local debut. The next 3 tries were on an off-track and her record there is 0-10. Has one-mile experience and showed improvement in last. Willing to take a swing for a price in this spot.

0.20 Pick 4

1,6,8/2,3,7/3,4/3,5
Total Bet=$7.20

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Mahoning Valley - Race #3
Picks Notes
#3 Graywing Think he's the main danger to the obvious chalk in here, as he has caught a couple tough winners in a row and has been a good fit with the locals. Versatile runner has a claim on this.
#1 Empire's Fire No doubt he's the one to beat, as he is perfect here from three starts outside of stakes company with win combined win margins of nearly 30 lengths. Wouldn't be any surprise at all to see him put these away into the lane.
#4 Upgrade Al His best stuff keeps him in the mix for a piece, and he's probably the most committed early player, but he is totally unreliable in the lane and figures to have a hard time holding off at least the top pair.
Race Summary Graywing might be a decent enough price to give a look in here after coming out of a couple tough races in recent starts. Tons of respect for Empire's Fire, but he's going to be another very short price.

Mahoning Valley - Race #4
Picks Notes
#4 Unescorted She has been moving in the right direction throughout her four-race career, and she has the right style to sit a perfect spying trip behind a couple more obvious forward players.
#2 Long Black Veil She'll make her local debut with some Mountaineer running lines that seem likely enough to fit here, but I worry that she's going to have some company early on and hasn't shown she can contend with that yet.
#7 Lotta Moscato She gets the best of the draw for the pace players, as she'll be able to hassle Long Black Veil in the early going from the outside, but it's also easy to see a scenario in which she pays the price for doing that.
Race Summary Unescorted gets a strong lean in here with a couple of pace players likely to tee things up for her from just a few lengths off the pace, and she has been slowly improving like she may still have some upside.

Mahoning Valley - Race #9
Picks Notes
#7 Justinspeightofit Think he's going to be a handful to close out the card here, as he proved a good fit at the local level last time out and has a perfect running style for a race where there are a lot of runners who aren't going to be passing horses late. Really hope they let him spy and finish here -- think he'll get past these late.
#11 Sunny Beast He has been landing underneath shares with similar in a handful of recent starts, and he might be able to find a decent trip from the outside here while spying some quicker players early.
#2 Smudge the Cat He's inside pace rising to try winners for the first time after that easy graduation win in start number 15. He's going to meet some other forward players, but I also think most of those will briefly chase and give way without influencing the race, giving him at least some chance to try to shake these off around the turn.
Race Summary Justinspeightofit is one of the few in here who can show some tactical pace and still pace horses, and I think he's a really strong option to close the card in a race without much other compelling form to this eye.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Santa Anita - Race #2
Picks Notes
#5 NYVAN (5-2) Takes some catching in first grass route attempt, met short-priced winners in last pair.
#2 SPEAKING SPANGLISH (6-1) Bet in turf debut, showed pulse with alert start next out, gets Lasix.
#6 GOLDEN TEMPER (3-1) Stretches out, adds blinkers and Lasix, dam was proven allowance router.
Race Summary NYVAN stretches out in distance off three in-the-money finishes, the last two against even-money and 2-1 winners. Speed has been dominant on the Santa Anita turf lately, so hoping she can go the distance against California breds. Bet to win and place.

Santa Anita - Race #3
Picks Notes
#5 LIBERAL LADY (5-2) Debuts for red-hot barn in a suspect field, gets the call with Prat on board.
#3 HALF NELSON (5-1) Has two solid main-track sprints at Santa Anita to summon, adds Lasix.
#1 FILTHY FAST (2-1) Appears well-prepped for debut, should show speed from the rail.
Race Summary LIBERAL LADY debuts off a series of steady 5F workouts. Her dam was unraced, but she gets Prat to ride and trainer Leonard Powell’s barn is firing on all cylinders early in the meet. Bet to win and place and play 5-1 and 5-3 exactas.

Santa Anita - Race #9
Picks Notes
#4 HARLOCAP (7-2) Troubled second in strong field, today’s Best Bet in his second go-round.
#2 ROLL ON BIG JOE (12-1) Set pace, repelled a challenge on turn, couldn’t fend off 1-to-5 winner.
#1 MR. FISK (3-1) Tracked pressured pace, ran second to stablemate at this distance at Del Mar.
Race Summary Harlocap took money in his first start for Baffert and got up to finish second after a slow start against a promising, odds-on winner. Johannes, who finished three lengths behind Harlocap, came back Saturday with a 9-length MSW victory in his fourth start at Santa Anita. Bet to win and place.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 9 UNION DANCE 7/2
# 2 SHOT OF A LIFETIME 9/2
# 7 HOLY GHOST 12/1

UNION DANCE looks decent to best this field. Looks strong to be up on the lead at the first call. With a nice class fig average of 99, has one of the best class advantages in this group. Has to be considered versus this group displaying very good numbers lately and an average Equibase speed fig of 92 under similar conditions. SHOT OF A LIFETIME - He has been running solidly and the speed figs are among the most respectable in this group. Has been moving quite well and has among the most competitive speed in the race for today's distance. HOLY GHOST - This horse has some longshot angles going for him. Boasts formidable speed figures on average overall when matched with the rest of this group.

PURCHASE

Mahoning Valley Race Course - Race #8 - Post: 4:02pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $14,900 Class Rating: 83

Rating:

#5 QIAN B C (ML=4/1)
#6 UHAVETOBEKITTENME (ML=10/1)

QIAN B C - Is ranked highest in earnings per race. A dominant try right here can add to the lifetime total. UHAVETOBEKITTENME - I like to wager on this angle, a thoroughbred coming back off a solid outing within the last 30 days. I think that a sprinter coming off a layoff will usually run his best in the 3rd or 4th start back.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 HIDING THE BRICK (ML=3/1), #2 JOCULARITY (ML=9/2), #1 REINSURE (ML=5/1),

HIDING THE BRICK - I foresee a disappointing effort for this horse in this race. JOCULARITY - The speed figures continue to drop, 76/69/61. Not a good sign. Hard to take this questionable contender at this price after the result (fourth) in the last event. REINSURE - Difficult to put any money on this gelding on the top end. Likes to finish in the money though.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#5 QIAN B C is the play if we get odds of 8/5 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [5,6]

PURCHASE

Turf Paradise - Race #8 - Post: 3:52pm - Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $12,000 Class Rating: 68

Rating:

#4 MISS GHISLAINE (ML=7/2)
#6 PANCAKES AND BEER (ML=5/1)

MISS GHISLAINE - I expect a lot from this race horse. Her speed figures under similar conditions are tops in this field. I look for this horse to sit chilly off the pace and make a solid move on the turn, cruising straight on to the finish line. Last two speed figures (69, 77) were solid. Anything close to that right here and this one may hit the finish line first. PANCAKES AND BEER - Equibase speed figures on the turf point to this horse as a legit contender. Has the best in the field for this dist-surf. A big drop in class rating points from her Apr 28th race at Turf Paradise. Based on that data, I will give this thoroughbred the edge.

Vulnerable Contenders: #12 WALK SOFTLY (ML=3/1), #3 ROSEBUD RYDE (ML=6/1), #10 MANDONA (ML=8/1),

WALK SOFTLY - Showed very little in the last affair. Really don't expect any betterment today. This filly registered a speed rating in her last event which likely isn't good enough in today's race. ROSEBUD RYDE - This vulnerable equine didn't do much last time finishing fourth. Don't see any chance of any improvement in today's event. MANDONA - This questionable contender ran a mediocre speed rating last out. She shouldn't improve and will likely lose in today's event running that fig.

GUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - MISS GHISLAINE - I like making a bet on big class droppers like this one. Much easier field this time out.

STRAIGHT WAGERS:	#4 MISS GHISLAINE is the play if we get odds of 7/5 or better
EXACTA WAGERS:	Box [4,6]
TRIFECTA WAGERS:	4 with 6 with [1,8,11] Total Cost: $3

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 4 MARATHONER 8/1
# 3 BOKERMIN 5/1
# 7 YO NESSROUNDONKERN 2/1

MARATHONER appears to be the bet in here and is a very good value wager given the line. Has been running strongly in races of this distance, going 1 for 5 under similar conditions. Had one of the best Equibase speed figs of this field in his last contest. Looks quite good for the conditions of this race today, showing solid figures in dirt sprint races as of late. BOKERMIN - Could best this group here, showing competitive figures of late. Haddock and Linder are a potent pair for dividends. YO NESSROUNDONKERN - He has posted quite good figs under today's conditions and should fare well against this group of horses. This horse is ranked high in this group in earnings per start at the distance/surface.
