You’ve got your nuclear boots
And your drip dry glove
Ooh when you bite your lip
It’s a reaction to love

Race 3
1 – Vivacious Tribute – last raced Oct 13, 2024. Has been working well. Track record holder at 4.5f should be dueling for the lead with Da Smoke. Won a stakes race here last year and should be ready to fire for Blaine. Dangerous. Second pick.
2 – He’s Not Talking – solid second place finish in his May 11 return. He was very hard to handle in the paddock that day. If he can stay calm and keep his head together today, I think he wins this. The Pick.
3 – Checkered Flag – was bumped hard at the start and showed nothing is his season debut, in the May 11 race. Expect an improved performance for Blaine today.
4 – Da Smoke – super quick runner also exits the May 11 tilt. Will have to deal with the rail horse but does hold a fitness edge over that rival. Jockey F. T. Alvarado is overdue for a win.
5 – Tiz’s Harbor – ran third in the May 11 race which was his local debut after winning a restricted AlwN2X at Santa Anita on March 17 where he bested four foes. Third pick.
Race 4
1 – Chai – first out since Sept 14, 2024 for this consistent daughter of Race Day. Has been working extremely well for trainer Kay. Second pick.
2 – Let’s Declare Peace – on the advice of counsel, I am not commenting on this horse.
3 – Lapush – won 3 of 5 here last year. Has not run since August 11 2024 but has been training very well for her return. Has good early foot but stablemate next door has more and speed does not catch speed. Third pick.
4 Aloha Breeze – speedster exits a pair of wins at TuP the latter of which was run on Jan. 1, 2025. She has won fresh in the past and likely takes this group wire to wire. The Pick.
5 – Daffodil Sweet – might be my youngest son’s favorite horse. She is an 8 year-old now and was not able to visit the winners circle in 2024.
See you at the track!
