Santa Anita Park Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance Optional Claiming
MARCH OF TIME (7) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3 lengths away in third over 1207m in the G2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to play a significant role. HOWIE'S LAW (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 6 lengths win over 1408m at Del Mar (Dirt). Emisael Jaramillo who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to play a big role. PRACTICAL JACK (8) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Winning rider Tiago Josue Pereira retains the mount. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. DUKE SILVER (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1308m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
