Jealous by Gene Loves Jezebel
I watch the sun
It breaks through the cloudy skies
It heals these wounds
And makes me glad to be alive
Race 8 (aka the Kay Cooper Allowance for 3 yr-old fillies)
1 – Beauty Bark – one of three Kay Cooper entries, broke her maiden impressively last year before losing to her stablemate by a nose in the stake race. Veteren jockey Alvarado doesn’t have a win yet at this meet. I think he gets one here. The pick.
2 – Riverside Rose – finished last in a $15,000 claiming race nine days ago. I’d fall off my stool if this horse won this race.
3 – Kir Royale – the second Cooper entry, broke her maiden impressively in wire to wire fashion here three weeks ago. If she beats her stable mates today, she could be special.
4 – Precise Timing – the third Cooper entry, the undefeated 2 yr-old champion returns. Showed big heart to come back on to best her stablemate in the WACpJuvF last Aug. Likely favorite will be hard to beat. Second pick.
5 – Recycleyourheart – Southern Cal invader broke her maiden for $20,000 in April. Was twice favored last year at Del Mar for Md$50,000. Has a shot if the locals aren’t ready.
6 – Ima Margarita Girl – also broke her maiden in April. Did run a nice second to Beauty Bark here last year. She has never missed the trifecta in 6 starts. Prefer others.
7 – Saleen G T – ran third to Precise Timing in her debut here last year and has picked up two come from behind victories in as many tries at Tup this year. Has a fitness edge over many of these and if they all go crazy gunning for the lead, look for her late. Third pick.
8 – Hera’s Hope – broke her maiden at Pln last Dec vs 5 rivals and has been running evenly ON THE TURF at SA for OC50K/n1x-N without cracking the tri since. Wild card.
*Please note – you might want to keep an eye on jockey A. Tomita. He has not won a race in N. America yet, but my sources tell me this guy can ride.*
See you at the track!
