SLEW'S FAST HORSES FOR SAT. 03/02

Aqueduct - 1,6,8,9
Gulfstream - 1,3,4,6,7,9,10,11
Santa Anita - 1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
Tampa - 2,3,5,7,9,10,11

Some excellent racing with Gulfstream Park running the Here Comes the Bride for 3 yr. old fillies at 1/18 miles on the turf as well as the open G3 Swale Stakes
on the dirt for 3 yr. olds at 7 furlongs. At Santa Anita they have a pair of G1 stakes in the Kilroe Mile on the turf and the venerable Santa Anita Handicap at 1 1/4 miles on the dirt.

Of course for that race we can dig into a who's who of racing that graced the winners circle over the years. Such legends as Round Table, Affirmed, Spectular Bid, John Henry,
Broad Brush, Alysheba, Tiznow to name just a few.

Even Aqueduct gets into the mix with the Top Flight G2, the Tom Fool and the Gotham, a 400K G3. Comma To The Top ships in for the Tom Fool for Peter Miller with Joel Rosario riding.

We also have 2 Key Horses running:

Kitten's Point - GP ( 9) GP 02/02/13 # 1

Both of these 3 year old fillies were featured in my last GP review of fast races and horses to keep an eye on:

February 2, 2013 Race 1 - We will finish up with a scorcher. In this ALwOC for 3 year old fillies on the turf at one mile, Coffee Clique (Lynch/Rocco, Jr.) ran into fast fractions set by Silsita (Pletcher/Valesquez) and then set the after burners on high and finished up in 11.69 for the final panel and 1:34.25 for the mile journey. She was ridden by Joe Rocco, Jr. that day and has won 2 of 3, breaking her maiden at Woodbine in her first try. I love the trackman's comment: "Strong hand ride". Any filly that doesn't need a swat or two to finish up in a sub 12 furlong gets her oats hand delivered by me anytime. She showed quite a turn of foot and is one to keep an eye out for. Also notable was the slow starting Kittens Point (Motion). Ridden by Johnny V. and starting over after a drubbing in the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf, she broke slowly and was angled out in the stretch, rallying for the place spot while making up significant real estate during the fastest fractions of the race. Again, one to watch for as she finds her legs and confidence.

You can also download the entire Sat. file at Slew's website by clicking the link below. It is free and easy to get so don't hesitate. The list is full so if you are an enterprising handicapper, give them all a really good look. But if you are like me, throw out the races filled with fast ones and just find a few hidden gems, try to make some early money, and sit back and enjoy the the stampedes sans wager.

Maybe.

Enjoy the Saturday racing. And as always...good luck and good 'capping!
