00:00Let's head on out there and take a look at the Joe Hernandez.

00:08I love the downhill turf course at Santa Anita.

00:10It's so unique.

00:11It's such a great turf course that lures people in from all over because it's just different.

00:17And in this particular race, you're going to have one of those horses that we talked

00:21about, Pete, a horse coming back from the Breeders' Cup, a horse who probably had the

00:25Breeders' Cup as their big target.

00:27So a lot of times when that's the case, the race afterwards, they're not as sharp.

00:32Maybe they are.

00:33Maybe they're a little bit duller.

00:34Motorius is going to take a lot of money in here.

00:36We're both trying to beat him.

00:38Yeah, I'm trying to beat him.

00:40I, you know, I think you have to, again, based on what we said earlier, Breeders' Cup horses,

00:45they're just not running back as successful.

00:47I mean, he's a really nice horse.

00:49Absolutely.

00:50But I could see him run second just as...

00:52And he's a deep closer too, right?

00:54So on top of that, he needs the trip and everything.

00:58So you're looking at, I think, to the outside towards the seven as a plan here?

01:01I'm going with the seven.

01:02Yeah.

01:03Central Dispatch.

01:04I think he's going to sit right behind the two.

01:06Coduello, who's a horse shipping in from Los Alamitos.

01:09He's going to have the lead.

01:11He's going to be like target practice.

01:12He sits right there like they're in a workout.

01:14Take off around the far turn and open up.

01:17You got Flavian Pratt.

01:19We just talked about breaking all types of records for John Sadler.

01:24He'll sit an ideal, perfect trip.

01:27And I think he's going to get it.

01:28He's improving with every race.

01:29And the price is right.

01:30What I liked about him too, in his last start, he missed the brakes.

01:33It was the first time he had to sort of come from off the pace and he showed, yep, no problem

01:37doing that.

01:38I completely agree with you.

01:39I'd love to see him sitting second or third, just off the pace.

01:43And that's where I hope the one Air Force Red is going to be too.

01:46He's a real hill horse.

01:47He has three wins down the hill.

01:49He likes it.

01:50And I think with his running style, he's a horse who likes to go fast, doesn't really

01:54want to be grabbed the hold of.

01:55So down the hill, it's perfect for him because he can kind of just sit off and build that

02:00momentum up and have a little bit of late kick.

02:02So I'll look towards the one Air Force Red.

02:04Pete will look towards the seven to try to take a little swing against Notorious.

02:08We have one more stakes race on Saturday at Santa Anita.

02:11It's going to be in the eighth race.

02:13We have two-year-old fillies in the blue northern.

02:16This is an exciting one because you see some of these young horses going long on the turf.

02:20Pete, you and I are both going to look at horses who had a ton of trouble last time

02:24out.

02:25The one that you're going to go to, Super Speed.

02:27If you're looking at the daily racing form in the past performances, you know it's a

02:31really bad trip when it just says brutal trip.

02:34It can't even explain all of the trouble this horse had.

02:37Oh, yeah.

02:38We were making a winning move up the inside and just stopped.

02:42Totally got in trouble.

02:44They couldn't move, whatever.

02:45Eased up and flattened out a bit.

02:50That, of course, is a good sign moving forward, right, because the horse, you know, has the

02:54ability.

02:55Just had a bad trip.

02:56And now, who does he pick up?

02:57Flavian Pratt.

02:58So, you got Pratt and Sadler again.

03:00I'm going back to the well.

03:02He's got the two races before that horse had run.

03:05Either one gets the job done, I think.

03:07And again, three to one.

03:08I'll take it.

03:09Nothing wrong with plus 300.

03:12Offering you very nice value there.

03:13I'll go just above you at the plus 400, four to one price of the number seven, Resolve,

03:19who also had a very tough trip.

03:21Was inside.

03:22Was trying to move off the rail and just had absolutely nowhere to go.

03:25Got shuffled back.

03:26Lost some positioning.

03:27Wasn't that far behind Will then and Cassalou, who Will then will probably be the favorite

03:32and the horse to beat in here.

03:34So, we'll both look for a little bit of value.

03:37Maybe we can beat the shorter price here.

03:39I went with the seven, Resolve, and Pete is going to go with the five, Supa Speed.

03:49So, I'm going to go with the five, Supa Speed, and Pete is going to go with the five, Supa

03:56Speed.

03:57So, I'm going to go with the five, Supa Speed, and Pete is going to go with the five, Supa

04:02Speed.

04:03So, I'm going to go with the five, Supa Speed, and Pete is going to go with the five, Supa

04:08Speed.

04:09So, I'm going to go with the five, Supa Speed, and Pete is going to go with the five, Supa

04:13Speed.

04:14So, I'm going to go with the five, Supa Speed, and Pete is going to go with the five, Supa
