SANTA ANITA
CHARMAINE’S MIA (Race 8 at Santa Anita, Jan. 9, 2021) – Moved into the barn of Phil D’Amato and what do you know – the mare improved by leaps and bounds. At 16-1 odds she dominated a very strong group here that included multiple stakes winners. There is no reason she can’t keep running big in turf sprints for her new outfit.
TAMPA BAY DOWNS
JUSTLYREWARDED (Race 6 at Tampa Bay Downs, Jan 6, 2021) – Broke from a tough outside post and then raced wide throughout. Worse yet, the 7yo gelding was racing against the grain of an inside speed bias. Better-than-it looks 4th place finish for owner/trainer Peter Knoll.
MY BROTHERSLEDGE (Race 7 at Tampa Bay Downs, Jan 6, 2021) – The best closer in this turf race made a strong early run against the eventual wire to wire winner. The 6oy was the only horse with a shot down the stretch but had to settle for 2nd. He ran a ‘winning race’ with new jockey Hector Diaz in the irons.
