Horses to Watch

ARLINGTON
 
ACTSCUSE: Was chasing the pace throughout and finally tired in the stretch to finish fifth. 
Offers value at the windows versus NW2L claimers.
AWESOMEWITHBROADS: Battled head to head through 5/8’s of a mile and understandably tired in
 the drive to finish fifth. Will benefit from an easier pace scenario.
ERICA’S MONEY: Came rallying late to finish an up-close third behind two longshots. Will benefit 
greatly from some pace up front.
ILLINOIS MOONSHINE: Was a pace factor throughout solid fractions and must be used next out 
at a big price.
SKIPEROO: Closed good ground in the stretch to finish a solid third on the turf. Follow this three
 year old back on the lawn.
SLIDE TO GLORY: Set the pace from a tough outside post and was still in the mix at the top of the
 stretch. Only missed the place spots by two heads and a neck.
YA LAJWAAD: Scored an easy wire to wire victory over maiden foes and hails from top barn that is 
looking to bigger and better things.
YOU’RE A MONKEY: Was in the middle of the pack and then made a bid for the lead before flattening 
out badly in the drive. Don’t give up on this one especially at a price.
 
4PSPECIAL: SHIMMERING SEA: Was the only one left standing out of the pace challengers
 and just got beat a head on the wire. Should score over NW2L $10k claimers.
LONGSHOT: LAST EPOCH: Was up close throughout and only started to tire very late in the drive losing 
by a length at 37-1; price play.
 
NORTHERN CAL FAIRS
 
CHEER THE SCORE: Woke up in his latest start with a third-place finish after getting beaten
 by 29 lengths in his previous outing. Potential upsetter at the bottom level.
COLLECT THE GOLD: Just missed by a nose at 59-1 in his third start since shipping in from Turf 
Paradise. You won’t see those odds again, but should still get a decent number. 
FIND A WAY: Is 0-for-27 lifetime, but found a way to run third at 34-1 last time out. Six-year-old
 Arabian is worth a small play.
HAJJI BABA: Current form is better than it looks. Bound to get his first win since last November.
KOURI JILL: Really got it going since breaking maiden June 15. Finished third July 11, then won
 a $6k claimer last out July 25. Worth a long look.
LIL BARHOP: Lifetime record isn’t all that great, but she does finish in the mix at prices including 
a second last time at 13-1. Steps up to the plate.
MISS ALAMO: Woke up two starts back with a third-place finish at 38-1. Very capable of rounding
 out a big exacta; be there. 
RAZEN HAZEN: Sprinted clear early, set fast fractions (:21 3/5 & :44 3/5) and never looked back
 in his debut. Ready for winners right back.
REBELETTE: Set a quick pace July 25, ducked in at the eighth pole and held on for third. Like this 
speedy filly a lot.
SCUSI: Ran an even race in her first attempt versus winners. Won’t be facing any champions at the
 $6k claiming level.
SIMPLY MAGICAL: Ran a good race July 25 at 12-1. Dueled, took a short lead and held well 
for third. Graduation day is coming for this daughter of Simply Majestic.
TRIBELLISTIC: Shipped in from Southern California June 13 and pulled off the upset at 20-1.
 Didn’t do much last out facing winners for the first time, but must be followed at a price. 
WATCHTHISANGELFLY: Sent off at 5-2 in her bow, she showed brief speed then threw in the
 towel and finished eighth. Learns from that experience.
ZENDA’S BONUS: Broke in a tangle and never factored in his debut. Still worth giving this juvenile 
another look second time around though.
 
4PSPECIAL: TEANAWAY ROSE: Has two decisive wins and a second out of four 
starts this season. Wesley Ward trainee is firing on all cylinders.
LONGSHOT: SICNEE: Faced better in Dubai, but hasn’t adjusted to the Northern California 
scene yet. Expecting better in his third start since shipping in.
