SoCal Saturday 9/13/25 | Los Alamitos

and clear. All right, edition, Chappelle's

Shows, AKA SoCal Saturdays. Right now we're hanging out

Harry Spears Lirovo with you on another edition of the program.

No Del Mar, no problem. We're headed to Cypress and Los

Alamitos for their thoroughbred meet here just a couple of

weeks. Evie Johnston on the card there

as well for Cal Breads. We will get into that one.

One of the girls tries to take on the guys again.

Barry and Louis hanging out with you.

Very good day to you, Sir. How are you?

It's been a solid 24 hours, essentially.

Good afternoon my man. You know, good news is the

weather has kind of calmed down here in.

In what does calming down mean for a Floridian?

It like it's under 1900° or yes. Under 90, so we're, we, we broke

the 90 threshold. We were 88 today and it feels

like it's 60. Oh, that's very different.

I I was looking at the weather here 'cause we're gonna be in

the high 80s early next week, but we're gonna just be like low

60s at night into the 80s during the day, sunny.

I'll take all of it, man. I'll take all of it.

I know you can't do that. Too much melanin.

You've got used to Florida. It's all the things as we go

inside the mind of Spears. But yes, I, you know you don't.

Oh, hell no, you don't want that.

Yes, we'll get into that. Of course, we will have Bori

Berry's boring play of the day later on in the program here.

I did want to say a word of thank you.

I got so many notes from people yesterday was our 6th

anniversary show on the happy hour was able to have Thistle

again off the line for that one. If you haven't gotten to go

listen to that, there's about a 10 minute stretch where Mike's

on We get to reminisce a little bit.

I really appreciate that Barry. Before we got going.

Certainly you're one of those people that's made the happy

hour what it is today. The fact that we've gone six

years is still bonkers to me that we've had the same table

for the Derby on the 8th pole for you know, since justify is

is a remarkable thing to me and I always try to stop and say

thank you in my life. Barry, when good things are

happening and frankly, it's it's amazing that the first time Mike

and I did the show, we sat on the floor in his office in front

of a couch and just talked into a laptop.

And now I get to do what I do and travel and, and meet lots of

people like you, which is awesome.

And, and so gratitude to all of you who are watching 180 of you

who are watching right now for no reason at all.

And so I just appreciate all of you hanging out with the

program. Very a thank you to you

personally because it's been a really wonderful addition to my

my broadcasting market. And hang out with you.

Thank you so much, man. I I appreciate you.

I can't even, I don't have the words for it, but the show you

definitely a very, very meaningful and a big part of my

life so. We're having fun.

I appreciate it. I think people.

Can tell that. Part too, is that you and I just

like hanging out. We're gonna be a bringing up to

you, of course, with our friends at Amwager.

We'll have some other partners we're gonna be hanging out with,

which I'm very excited to announce in a couple of weeks

here. We've got some great ones lined

up. Oh, I was hoping I just got an

e-mail. Yeah, we'll get going on those.

We'll have a ton of coverage of Blood Horse as well.

You'll see Barry on our Blood Horse coverage at Breeders' Cup

as well. So be tuned in for all of that.

Of course, our mutual friend Sean Collins will be out there

for part of that as well. But let's get into it, man.

We got a bunch of handicapping to do 10 race card at Los Al.

You know, when Ed put out the other day, the entries and

different things, 97 entries, man, for A10 race card here.

I was really, really pleased to see.

Oh, yeah, that's, that's, you know, get those numbers up.

That's what we like to see. A lot of lot of action, lot of

options, and hopefully a lot of dollars.

Only one maiden race on the card that actually kind of stood out

to me, Barry, and it is the one where the the tag is the

tallest. So we will get into that in race

3. But race 1 is a claimer.

We're running for $20,000 here. You will hear that word claimer

quite a bit, but in Southern California, you know what clamer

means, Barry? It means a nice size field and

that's what we get in race one, $20,000.

We're going a mile here. Lots of those races at Los

Alamitos. If you are unfamiliar with the

course, dirt only at a slight right turn when you get into

that final turn there on the stretch.

They do run the quarters at night there.

So Saturday, Sunday nights, you may have seen them running under

the lights out at Los Alamitos. Odd race means that our odd guy

Barry gets to go first. I always wondered why they have

that little little right hand turn.

Well, this used to not be a full Oval.

And so I know that. But Oval, Yeah.

They couldn't make it straight across like.

No Barry, they couldn't. How about that?

I guess not. Slight right turn to make it 1

mile even all the way around. That's why that damn right knock

all right alone you. Understand.

My fault. My fault.

My fault. Yeah.

This. This, this.

Nice. This is actually a nice little

race here. I love the early picks pick

three. I think it's a spectacular

little fun sequence. And by the way, lots of dollar

minimums at low Sal including the pick 3.

Yeah, I ended up on #8 joint venture.

I thought this horse could get a good trip stalking the pace from

the outside. Great King looks to be the speed

of the speed, but it's a little bit faint hearted and I think a

joint venture will stick to that horse like glue, pass late and

take over and win this race going away.

All right, so you have the 8 on top, you have the seven in your

handicapping. Second Doo Wop Don, which is a

spectacular name. It's not in my handicapping, but

I look at this one, Barry. This one makes a lot of sense.

He makes a lot of sense class wise, but he he kind of is a

synthetic horse. I mean, I'm familiar with him

because he ran a Gulfstream and and kind of took to the

synthetic. So it's kind of surprising that

he ends up out there. But he's good enough to beat

most of this field and I think he could best the rest and

finish second. You and I have some overlap

here. I'm 48 and one in race one on

the card at Los Alamitos this weekend.

I'll start with Great King, who you mentioned already.

I think you're right. He's going to get a fair amount

of the early run in this race. Picks up Kazushi Kamara, who was

aboard last time at Del Mar. Moves to the Rodriguez barn

here. Second off the layoff.

A pretty good angle for him. Three of his last, excuse me,

two of his last 18, but hits a 23% on dirt.

This is what he does very, very, very well.

The two of them have teamed up before on a winner and so so

hopefully that Great King will get the kind of trip that we

expect to see that we got at Emerald Downs, for example, and

at Turp Paradise. Go on the 7 1/2 on the grass as

well. We've seen him be good on the

grass before. As you and I always talk about

when we get to these meats at Los Al, that's usually not a big

deal for the grass horses getting to Los Alamitos.

They tend to take to the dirt surface here very well.

But I'm 481. You already talked about the

eight. I'll talk about the inside horse

in Fireman Dan. I I know gut feelings have no

places in serious wagering shows, but I do think Fireman

Dan benefits from Armando IU. So I think he wants to win a

riding title in Southern California and I think he's got

a chance to do it here at Del Mar.

Was aboard on this one at Del Mar at LaSalle.

He was aboard this one at Del Mar last out, but I do think

getting at this distance where the horses hit the board seven

times in eleven runs and does have a win at Los Al.

I think this sets up OK for the one horse and fireman Dan.

So again Barry and race 1 lands on 8-7 and four.

I land on the 4/8 and a what? It's funny, Fireman Dan, he has

the past performances that I like to call the Tetris.

They all look the same and it looks like all the all the

numbers line up and and the horse kind of finishes in the

same spot every time. The old Tetris, if you will.

Yes, that's exactly. We'll move on to race 2.

Even number races means you hear from Louis first.

This is in fact another claimer but an optional claimer, $47,000

on the line here going 6 1/2 furlong.

So we'll start a little bit into the chute there at Los Alamitos.

This is for three and up essentially for non 2 lifers in

this spot. Barry, you and I, this is as

different as I think we are on a race on the card here.

I landed on Code Duelo. We'll break from the 6th.

Edgar Paelleros gets the ride here, gets them out, and his

thoroughbred numbers are stupid good.

He wins at 21%, and the reason is largely because he rides at

Los Al quite a bit, and so this is his home track.

This is the place where he works essentially all the time.

He gets the sun 97 year old, excuse me, gelded son of honor

code in this spot who just ran a massive number at the 870

distance. Now we are going further than

that. I totally understand, but this

is a horse that is held up better over different spots that

even tried him in the Hernandez down the hill a couple of months

ago in December at Santa Anita. And so I'm interested to see

this one try to get back to what this one did in the winter

championship at over 1000 yards at Los Alamitos 96 on the

quarter horse figure last time in mixed company.

Interested to see this one get back here.

Did some closing from off the speed and that one think should

I think this one should be part of the equation at the end.

It should be coded duelo. You landed on the seven though

here in Concord Bridge. Yeah, I thought Concord Bridge

had a couple races back earlier this year that would easily win

this the the June 6th race and May 4th kind of 1 going away, 1

going a mile, one at 6 1/2, which is tomorrow's distance.

Turf to dirt makes a lot of sense.

I think that, you know, cutting back from the mile and 16th on

the turf should accentuate this kick there.

There's quite a lot of speed in here.

Rexford should get involved early just because of the post

position. Carver has a lot of speed and

sharp as a tack code dwello and I think you know with the

cutback conquer bridge could sit right off him and and finish

this off. Concord Bridge will sit in the

seven. You also have the best name in

the field in Vancouver breaking from the three.

Interesting to see Antonio Freis, who pretty clearly going

to ride this entire meet at Los Alamito.

Should give him an opportunity to pick up some checks.

What do you like about the three here in Vancouver?

Came off the two year break running.

Ran a pretty decent race back in July.

Lost the rider on the in the August 16th race, which you

know, you really can't fault that horse too much, but the

race before that was not too far off.

Bad Uncle Barry who who's pretty good at the five for a long

distance on the turf. This probably suits this horse a

lot better. Should be picking up pieces

late. I went a different direction in

Race 2. I went 6-5 and seven here.

Already talked about the six in code.

Duela breaking right next to her is sharp as a tack as you

mentioned and next to him, I should say, excuse me, is sharp

as a tack. Billion to Georgia getting them

out here. This is one that wasn't very

good last out, but that was first up off of a little bit of

a break and it was on the turf. So we're going to get back to

the dirt here where the horse is 1 for two lifetime on this kind

of surface. One for one at the distance, by

the way, as well. So interested to see this one

get back to the dirt. I think it hasn't been there

since the Malibu in 2023, but this is a horse.

Oh man OK, February of 24. This horse was on the dirt in a

winning effort under Antonio phrase too.

So hopefully Hector Palma's finished figured out that this

one wants to go back. I don't know that I've seen a

sub 34 work like that. It's been a minute.

The work before that on August 28th also very, very fast.

So hopefully got the legs out, stretched them out last time on

the turf there at Del Mar and we'll run a little bit better.

Wheel sharp as attack in this one.

And a third of my handicapping is the seven horse here, Concord

Bridge, who you mentioned to be on top.

And as you said, largely a class issue with that one here.

Move on to Race 3 and we're presented by AM Wager and AM

wager.com here on the Horse Racing Happy Hour.

These are Socal Saturdays. You can always find my article

at the Sporting Tribune on the big race of the day.

And of course, it'll be about the EB Johnston by the time we

get to the website thesportingtribune.com.

Race 3 is a maiden 50 for steak breads for California breads,

$30,000 on the line here going 6 furlongs on the dirt course

there. Odd number means Barry goes 1st

and Barry landed on a long shot and Barry's going to tell us

why. Breaking from the rail.

This one's OK, but all the other ones are bad.

Price price Price Yesterday's price is not today's price could

be Gold 20 to 1 morning line has some speed in a race that

doesn't look like there's a whole lot of speed in it for a

for a maiden race. Typically you'll see a whole

bunch of horses that that kind of run like chickens with their

heads cuts off, but this one in particular there really doesn't

seem to be all that much speed. I mean the two might show some

speed, but I like the workout pattern for could be gold coming

into this. The last two workouts there,

they're a little spaced out, which is a little strange, but

it could be that they were missing this horse out on the

track because it seems like they're they were ramping up to

try to win this race. Draws the rail.

I'm not that enthusiastic about it, but I think the speed might

do it here. That is the Gonzales Ramirez

combination. If it hits Barry's, Barry's

going to look unbelievably intelligent.

You also have the 8 and the six in your handicapping, which

matches up with my handicapping in this race.

Barry. I only have two horses in here,

the 8 and the six. Bazooka Charlie, my oldest is

named Charlie. That is not why I picked this

horse, but was very, very good on day last out, I should say.

Excuse me. Yeah.

On debut in the maiden ranks at Del Mar.

Before that was here at Los Al as well over the six furlongs,

but I thought took a major step forward under Antonio Frisu.

Who keeps them out here and if I were going to single in the

early sequence I would try Antonio Phrase who here in this

spot with the 8 horse. The 16 off is very interesting

as well. Was in last out behind Bazooka

Charlie in the same race. Ran 5th in that one.

Should you know, should be a little bit better here.

I like the idea of throwing the blinkers on because this is one

that gets into that that final stretch and starts looking

around, gets it starts to flatten out.

So hopefully throwing the blinkers on, hearing the noises

rather than looking around should be good for this one.

Barry, anything to add to your handicapping here from that's

race 4 from that racer here? It's, it's hard to trust horses

like Bazooka Charlie and Teen off and in spots like this

because they, they do have more starts than everybody else

basically. And as those pile up, you know,

you get a little bit more skeptical and they may need to

drop in class. So races like this tend to be

sort of chaos because the, the horses that really look good on

paper are stacking up losses. So these, these end up being

pretty tough races. But I, I, I think, you know, I'm

willing to take a shot on a 20 to one in a spot like this.

There you go, we move on to Race 4 there at Los Alamitos.

This is Socal Saturday's here on the Horse Racing Happy Hour

Network celebrating 6 years. How about that Lou, your Bogger

Spears hanging out with you? amwager.com.

Go check them out right now. Our friends over there at

Amwager. Race 4 is another Claimer, 6250

Claimer. You'll hear that quite a bit

throughout the rest of the card. 5 and a furlongs on the dirt

here $13,000 purse and this is 4/3 and up, which have just

never won three races non 3 lifers in here Barry and many of

them you can see why they've never won three races but I'm

going to go a little bit longer odds here 8 to one on big bet.

The six horse here, Edgar Pereiros getting them out here

and this is one that we saw win 2 back at 4 1/2 in in company

with other thoroughbreds right here at Los Alamitos.

Yes, it was at the 3500 level, but it's just what they run at

Los Alamitos at night. And this is one that's going to

be in the same kind of company here with 6250 kind of horses.

It's not terribly different, Barry, for me from those $5000

claimers that we saw at Santa Anita in the spring, for

example. So I think this horse fits the

numbers well, I think fits the speed well.

And I get Edgar prayers and I get 8 to 1 on this horse.

So I'll go ahead and put the six on top in race 4.

Give that one a try. You and I do have a lot of

agreements in this race. You ended up 19 and 3 in here

buddy. Are you are you living on the

rail this week? What are we doing here?

Yeah, yeah, I mean it. It's just the luck of the draw,

as they say. But who says?

That very Who are these people? Who says it?

Not me. I'm not one of those people.

Not me. I don't believe in draws.

Keep going. Yeah, you're fine.

Blue cheese Olive. But I think I think this course,

the drop in class is is what does it kind of acted up in the

this August 14th race at Del Mar didn't get out of the gate well

and it was just kind of a debacle.

So you can put a line through that and the two races prior to

the to that one were pretty good fit at this level should be

formidable. They just need to get out of the

gate. That's that's really the issue

here. The outside horse with the 9

Navy man seems to fit class wise is dropping to the lowest level

they've ever been. That should count for something.

Maybe not a win, but I I think this horse is going to show up.

Similar for you, 193. I'm 619 in this race, so

obviously just one horse different on top for us.

Your son is in the Navy. My son's name, Charlie.

Maybe that's the hunch. Play is Bazooka Charlie in the

Navy man. There it is.

Boom. There you go, there's our

there's boom talk, there is our our hutch play for the weekend.

We are talking Los Al here on the Horse Racing Happy Hour

presented by Amwager. A reminder that your mom loves

Los Al. Move on to race 5 here, closing

the early pick five and of course starting the pick 3.

It's a $2.00 traditional pick 6. Excuse me there at Los Alamitos.

If you would like to get in, you'll have to start with this

one. Another 6250 claiming this is

for non threes as well. The Philly and mare edition of

it here, Barry. And you know what I say to 6250

claimers? Give me all of them.

We get 10 horses. You know that that's funny you

say that because that was kind of the attractor or is sort of

the attractor in some of those races in the the championship

ship meet down here at Gulfstream is the the lower

level grass races. So, you know, it's kind of a

little the opposite out there, but these are the bread and

butter. I mean, these are the, these are

the races that you'll see a lot of these are the races that'll

get you paid because they're usually chaos and I like to have

them on cards. Yeah, no, these are spectacular

cards, a very unusual thing for me in this race with my

handicapping. But you landed 49 and 3 here in

Race 5, Barry, in this claimer, Ryder's candy.

Talk about. It, you know, this race, I think

a lot of these horses look the same on paper, but it it stands

to be a lot more difficult because of the fact that you

have these nighttime horses that get mixed in with these lower

level types and it's hard to tell where they fit class wise.

And you'll see sometimes you'll get one that's that's probably

really quick that's flying under the radar.

I gather that's going to happen in one of these races.

I'm not sure it's this one, but it's something to keep an eye

on. But Rider's Candy is a horse

that was running good last year at the 2520 thousand dollar

level. Won a race at that level back

June 23rd last year. Fast forward to May, ran a

pretty good race at the same level or actually 20,009 winners

a three back in May at 32 to one and then kind of, you know, was

running evenly. Last time was way out wide,

didn't have a shot. But this time they drop in class

and hook a field where there may be some opportunity where this

horse gets a pretty good trip. There's some speed towards the

inside and rhythm girl Misty Dancer will probably get

involved. The three gentle Julia will

probably get close to. So they're going to be pushing

that pace up front and I think that might put Riders Candy in a

great spot. All right, Barry, 4-9 and three.

I'm 123. There you go.

I'm speaking to Rhythm Girl and our guy Armando Iuso breaking

from the inside. Not a great number together, but

this one gets back into the kind of level and back to a place

where it's won before. One in an $8000 non 2 a couple

of months ago in June when we were last here for thoroughbred

racing at Los Alamitos, gets back to the 6250 level here.

I think it's perfect for this one and gets back to a place

where it has she's won before, the three-year old Misty Dancer

right next to her. Arantes, I'm hoping has a nice

meet here. Still getting 5 lbs on the bug

there. The last time we saw this one

run and win was at the 5000 on two level, which is for those

Northern California horses. This one, of course, running at

Pleasanton before breaking its maiden there.

And I just think with her, if we can get back to that 5 1/2 and

do the thing that we did at Santa Anita, she's going to have

a serious shot. And then General Julia, you and

I both have in our handicapping here at the three horse.

So I I I don't feel as crazy here, but this is just an old

another Los Al specialist. And and I'm just wondering if we

can't get I don't think she wins here, Barry, but I think I think

there's a chance that this 20 to one spices up and exotic for

somebody. Yes, I I totally agree.

Ran some good races back at Pleasanton, Fresno, Ferndale

that fit pretty good in this spot and 20 to 1's a good price.

I can I can definitely see this horse sneaking in the the try or

super. The 9 is the other horse in your

handicapping. This is one that you're going to

have to talk me into other than, hey, this horse was really good

at Keeneland in April. That's it, OK, That's all.

That's all. That's all it qualifies for.

And then, you know, the horse just spirals down into the

bottom level of horsedom and again that that's going to go a

long way in a race like this if they get out of the gate and

kind of if if Franco can get this horse kind of mid pack,

they should be fine because the the drop in class should mean a

lot. There you go, that's race 5.

We'll move on to race six. Another 6250 claimer here on

SoCal Saturdays. I'm Lou Rabo hanging out with

Barry Spears, represented by AM Wager, am wager.com as I try to

clean up all of the different banners that I am making.

It's a day. Race 6, like I said, another

claimer, 5 1/2 on the dirt here for three and up.

No conditions here, just a claiming price.

Barry. Race 6 means Louis goes first.

I went 281 and here we have the same horse on top in Western

Ave. Gonzales for Sean Williams.

And this is one that we saw in a starter allowance type company

last out. It just didn't like it before

that though did win for trainer George Papa Codromo at the

$10,000 non 3 lifer level. This is much, much more in line

with that before that one at the 25,000 claiming level before

that at the maiden special weight on the turf.

But I just think this is the level for this horse.

I'm positive you agree because you have a source on top as

well. But two for three at the

distance, etcetera, etcetera. Barry, this one just makes a lot

of sense. Yeah, he might actually stand

out. I might put that label on him

because there really isn't much going on after you get by

Western Ave. Speed, this horse gets in good

position. The buyer numbers all align.

It's a little suspicious that this horse is actually here, but

I'll go with it because it it, you know, there's really not

much in this race. I think they just picked the

right race. Yeah, well, sometimes it just

shakes out that way, right? You just get lucky that who

shows up is not at your level. You also like the 11 in here

going to break from the outside, outside of the Big Cheesy Ola,

which I appreciate, but Big Don's smiling.

What? Big Don's smiling next to the

Big Cheesy Ola is a lot of smiling.

I'll tell you what. Yeah, no doubt Big Don's

smiling. The last three races.

This horse got in a lot of trouble.

The June 13th race was stuck on the rail and and didn't get the

greatest of trips. The next one, the comment in the

form is Chase five to seven wide.

You don't see that often, no. You don't.

And, and it's funny because there's only six horses in the

race and they said seven wide. And that's a bad trip.

That's getting in trouble. Barry, this is 6 horse field.

You're out in the seventh path. That's getting in trouble.

Oh man, I could not hear you. Actually, that's funny.

You are muted. Now.

Go ahead and unmute that and we'll see where you're at.

After that, I'll go ahead and talk about my picks for Race 6

while you get us sorted out here.

I went a slightly different direction.

We have the same horse on top. I'll talk about the eight horse

here in race 6, Instinct. The Oro will be the favorite.

Our guy Edgar Paeiras is there. You are for Sergio Morphine.

The two of them hooking up here. But this is one that's been

running at the 8010 thousand kind of level and has been

knocking at the door like crazy before.

The last out, which was at Del Mar at 5 1/2.

Horse was just not ready. Ran second by half length, third

by 3/4 of a length, 1st and then fifth by three lengths.

And so this is just a horse that's always been right there.

Barry. I think this level is probably

right. And so also I wanted to say in

these 6250 races, I know they're not designated as Cal bred

races. We're getting a ton of Cal breds

in these races. So I think we kind of need to be

realistic about what the Cal bred program looks like at all

the levels. Not a lot of Cal bred horses in

these races. So hopefully they keep them up

at the different spots around the circuit.

But Stanford Malibu is an is a an LRC GOAT and won this race. 3

back it at this distance under Daniel Herrera.

Giovanni Franco gets them out here for Isidro Tamayo.

Nice to see his name on a horse here as well.

So I landed as it says on screen 28 and one in here.

You went to 11:00 and 6:00. Go ahead and tell the people

about my bucket list. Yeah, kind of a closer.

Which is. You know, would benefit from a

hot pace which I think they're going to get and should be

closing late. Big price round out that try for

us there. You go move on to race 7, then.

Here on Socal, Saturdays were presented by Amwager and

amwager.com, where you can get a 100% deposit match up to $150.00

right now. You don't even have to go inside

the mind of Spears. Don't even have to do that.

Nope. Don't want to do that.

Even amwager.com, I don't even want to do that.

Yeah, nobody wants to be in there at all.

We move on to Race 7 at Los Alamitos as we continue through.

Yeah, the racing there, the precursor to the EB Johnson.

Of course, this starts the late pick four, $1.00 minimum there

at Los Alamitos. Get in on that bet.

It is the dollar Los Al pick four.

That's their best bet. Yeah, I mean, he's got it.

Yeah, just it tracks the best pools.

I mean, if you could afford the pick 6 for sure, that's a very

good bet as far as returns and different things.

But the pick four seems to be the one that you have a chance

to hit and you can afford. Race 7 is an optional claimer

for Cal Breads. We're going 6 furlongs on the

dirt here, $46,000 on the line in here.

Barry, you and I landed on a different horse on top.

I landed on the one next to the number 3 Piper's Causeway.

Which you landed on Grazed. No, no.

All right. I laid it on Jack.

I laid it on Jack. Fish.

You landed on Piper. Oh, outside of me.

OK, yes yeah. Piper's Causeway.

I don't understand why they keep running this horse on the turf.

The source's races seem to be better on on the on the dirt and

they just don't run this horse on the dirt that often.

They went three times, just missed on the first try of first

level allowance race and then went into this level and kind of

didn't really do much getting blinkers.

I I think that might help, but we'll see.

I'm willing to give it a go because I don't think this horse

is going to get bet down too much.

I think 5 to 1 is a solid number.

You have the three on top of the eight second in your

handicapping here in yo time, have you ever said someone to

someone? It's yo time.

Have you ever done that, Barry? I don't think you've ever done

that. Actually I have is it Mohegan

Sun at the crap table when I said it's yo time yo 11 let's.

Go throw throw a a plan. God, I don't even know craps

terminology. 65. I'm holding the line.

Is it the line? Is that what it's called in

craps? Pass.

Pass. That's right.

Yeah, I'm passing lines. Yes.

Yeah. It's not a cocaine you.

Don't want you don't want to do the pass.

The pass was like the don't pass line is like betting chalk all

day. Frowned upon.

It's actually frowned upon at the table, so you can't do that.

What do you like about young time?

This horse really hasn't run bad at all.

I mean you could probably put a line through the turf races and

if you do that this horse it looks even better.

Just hasn't been out in a while. Haven't seen seen him since July

4th. Probably needs one, but I think

this horse is good enough to be in contention.

All right, I went a slightly different way.

I went 4-8 like you did, but three in the third spot.

So I'll talk about the four horse here.

Really the only big difference Jack fish Barry knows I love

this angle. I love a horse coming out of a

win in a maiden special weight where they really put it

together this one last time out really put it together.

Did Jack fish keeps or excuse me, pixel me Antonio Fresio in

the mount brother. If we get 4 to 1 on this horse,

I this is 1 where I'm going to, I'm going to push, push.

Peter Miller loves these kinds of horses that he feels are good

on turf but can run on the dirt as well to put them in these

kinds of spots. So I'm going to lean on him here

for this one. I wish his numbers with Antonio

were a lot better, but they are just not.

And so hopefully this horse who does have a bullet at San Luis

Rey on the dirt in his workout tab to get back to the dirt look

good here as well. I like the four to one number.

I just think he's one of the faster horses in this field and

I think he'll take the dirt at low.

Sal very well agree with you on the eighth there and obviously

with Piper's Causeway, who you have on top.

But what about Graves? What'd you like about Grazed in

your third spot here? Fast and fast tends to hang

around a lot. Turf to dirt horse probably

needed that those those two races probably going to get a

good performance out of Grazed on Saturday, so I I think that

one can hang around for 3rd. There you go.

We'll move on. Now to move on to Race 8.

The late pick three starts here, just a $1.00 pick three.

The $3 pick 3 has not been picked up at Los Alamitos.

Just get another state bread race here, $46,000 on the line

in an optional claimer going 5 1/2 furlongs.

Here's this for Phillies and Maris, 3 and up on that one as

well. Eighth race means Louis goes

first. I'll go ahead and put my picks

up there as well. There's Louis picks.

I went 10-6 and five here, Barry.

So I landed on the outside horse in Marinda apparently.

I think Kazushi Camaro is going to have a big meet, but this one

last out wasn't great on the turf running 7th, but was part

of the early pace and did a lot of the early work in a very,

very fast race. Last time we saw this horse at

Los Alamitos was in an optional for 40 where the horse was not

in for the tag. In for the tag today for Gary

Mandela, which is very interesting to me, but if the

horse runs the race it ran last time here, I think it wins Now

that was under Edwin Maldonado. We're making the switch to

Kazushi here and I think that'll be an OK switch for sure.

But this son of a totally the distance obviously shouldn't be

an issue at all. So I'm going to lean on the 10

here in race 8 on top. I'll go to the six next.

And clubhouse bride, of course, all of us who watch California

racing. No clubhouse ride.

One of the most expensive sires in California stands for 7500

Lord Nelson, I think is 10. Trying to think of some other

prices out there. But clubhouse ride of course out

there standing this horse at the distance is 1 for one.

Interested to see this one a little bit shorter because at

six furlongs last time at Santa Anita got caught right at the

line. So I'm wondering if a slightly

shorter race here at 5 1/2 will work out better.

Tyler Bay's getting the, excuse me, getting the amount here as

well, so I'll go 86 or excuse me, 10-6 and five here in Race

8. Barry, you landed in Race 8 on

the seven. Yeah, good night, Nelly there.

There's a lot going on here. It's like you know how in the

cartoons back in the day I do you see, like the eat at Joe's

and then they have like all these other neon signs and

arrows pointing. That's what's going on with the

seven. All the arrows and the neon

signs are pointing to bet this horse.

I'll go through it. This horse won on July 6th at

LaSalle at this same trip, I believe No 6 furlongs.

It was 6 furlongs. Horse won going away and got

claimed. They come back to turf.

Races don't do very much and I don't really think that that is

good night Nellie's preferred surface.

So they're one for one at LaSalle, they're one for one at

the distance. A bullet work September 3rd at

Del Mar 59 and two handily turf to dirt numbers for Jorge

Parabon. He's about 20% hooks up with a

USO at almost 30%. So all those things combined is

those are all the arrows saying you should bet this horse and

and we're probably going to get a decent price.

This horse probably won't be favored because of the fact that

they're not dropping down. They're kind of staying lateral

and there's some other drop downs that probably will take

some money, like the horse outside the 9 Brookie's gal

Miranda will probably take some money too, at least more than

than the seven so. Well, now that I've mentioned a

good state. Right, exactly.

You're going to that's going to be.

The the Louie influence, Yeah, it as.

Well, the Louie, Louie. Money.

Do you like to eat at Joe's that I put on the screen?

Yes. OK.

We got to eat at Joe. 'S a solid reference there, but

again, Barry 79 and five in this one of those.

Boards like a, you know, it says eat at Joe's and I'll just walk

up and down the street. Jorge Parabon and Armando Ayuso,

as he pointed out, three from four of their last four at Los

Al the ROI 7:30 on that one. I guess we'll take that just a

little bit. Brookies Gal you have in here,

and this is 1 coming out of stakes races, Black type, 50,000

black types in the Pacific Northwest.

What do you like about Brookies Gal?

Yeah, she should fit here. I agree without a problem and

you know the the drop down out of space company is going to

track a lot of attention, but she's a closer and that already

has kind of a built in disadvantage, but she should be

formidable in this spot and be right around it at the end.

We move on to Race 9. It is the feature of the day at

CB Johnston. It is a mile on the dirt course

there. It is for Cal Breads 3 and up.

No other requirements at all. We're going for $75,000 on the

line here. I texted you earlier in the week

because I was so excited. They put she's mostly in this

race. I love it when they try the

girls against the boys. I, I don't I don't think she

wins here, but Barry, if she wins, I'm not going to be

stunned. I'll put it that way.

So I absolutely it wouldn't stun stun me if she want.

It would stun stun me because there's no way she should beat

Mana Rose in this. OK, All right.

So you and I do disagree on this race.

I'm excited to talk to you about it, not because I want to fight

or something, but rather this is.

Your yeah, but you want to get in the mind of Spears.

That's we don't. Nope, Nope, Nope.

Don't want that. Nope, Nope, Nope, Nope.

But this is your boring play of the day as we go.

Johnson, you're going to try the six to five mana rose.

Yeah. Towers over this field speed

wise they they shouldn't touch this horse at all.

Nice Bullet on September 6th down at Del Mar, one out of 2859

and two Handley from the gate. Nobody's as fast as this horse

on paper, so I doubt they'll actually be fast as this horse

in real life, but they're going to try and they're going to lose

and the six is going to finish second.

I think the six wins this race and I think it's just because

he's in form and I think. He's possible.

I think Antonio's going to give him the right ride and I think

he's going to be able to pick those things off.

But this is Bor Barry's boring play of the day.

So he is 3/6 and one in the Johnston.

You had Chismosa third. To be fair to you and to to

Chismosa, I went 6-3 and two in this spot.

You. You.

Did all that and didn't even pick her.

I did all that and didn't even pick her.

That's right. Yeah.

Look, me wanting the girls to race against the boys doesn't

mean that I'm just going to pick the girls.

What are we doing trying to make money, Barry?

I'm not worried about worried about people.

Stealing spending money here. You're right, you're right.

Eat its. Nose dog, What are we doing

here? Come on.

You got to win to eat at Joe's. Damn right.

If I'm going to Sizzler, I need money and so I think the two

horse here is fascinating just because of the three wins here

at the distance and one for two at Los Al Stamp my passport for

Leonard Powell. Weirder things have happened

than that horse winning this race.

And so I just want to watch. That's it.

Just six, three and two for me, Barry in the Johnson three, six

and one. Is there a storyline out of this

race that that could happen if if a certain horse wins?

Is there one that would this be a cool story of Tresmosa wins?

Absolutely, it's got a good shot.

I I I don't think she's without a chance.

She's got the class to do it. She just needs a setup and and

drawing the rail wasn't the the perfect thing that's for her.

And the other question mark is the distance.

But class wise, she she fits very well here.

There you. Go all right, move on to the

closer. That is Race 10 on Saturday at

Los Alamitos were presented by Amwager and amwager.com.

This is the horse racing happy hour so Cal Saturdays.

You can meet my read, excuse me, my write up about the EB

Johnston over at the Sporting Tribune as well.

If you are a fan of any of the teams in Vegas, LA, San Diego or

the state of Hawaii, go check out the Sporting Tribune.

They are available wherever the Lakers footprint is and so go

check them out and certainly we cover Los Al, Santa Anita and

Del Mar there. Appreciate the numbers by the

way on the website. You all are awesome.

We've got I've had a lot of clicks on the horse racing stuff

really appreciate it 5 1/2 furlongs on the dirt there to

close the car to another 6250 non 2 lifers in this one Barry

going for $13,000 in this one. I was surprised by the some of

the morning line for this race like it was a little bit more

than what it should have been. I'll just, I'll just say that

it's kind of a. Like some of these horses don't

need to be 30 to one, they actually have a shot.

So like anyways, but we'll get into it here.

I landed on the 6th, you landed on the 6th.

I'll let you go first to your distant fleet 7 to 5.

How dare you not say this is your boring play today.

I almost did but honestly these last two races if if this double

comes out the way I've picked it, it should probably be play

pay about $2.50 so. Yeah.

That part, yeah. You know, take from that what

you want. All right, you are 610 and 12

here. Distant fleet.

What do we like? Super fast compared the the rest

of these horses. There's really no speed in here.

I, I, I don't understand how this is possible, how you could

have this little speed with 12 horses in a race.

But here we are. Distant fleet should get to the

front and keep going without issue.

Only triple digit time form speed in the race is V6.

Distant fleet here does have 100 in the early pace 46 in the

late. I guess the closest would be

formidable threat, but that low late speed figure is no good for

that one there. So that's a a little bit

different. You went 6:10 and 12:00.

I went 6-9 and ten. I'll talk about the nine horse

here. Nothing wrong with a good 691.

Big smile. Kazushi Camaro gets them out

here. This is just one.

Barry doesn't. Wrap anymore.

It's a fairpoint. It's a fairpoint, actually.

He just came out with a single, fortunately.

I had a friend named Willie who turned into you.

You might know him. Actually, he's he's he was a

rapper for a while. He went by Willie the kid based

out of Atlanta. And he he did his he did his

education doctorate first and then became a school principal

and then became a rapper. And now he's an entrepreneur

because of course he's a rapper and all rappers are

entrepreneurs. But of the he, I remember one

time I turned the corner, walked into the cafeteria in high

school and the only thing I heard was Willie say, man, Tech

9, the worst rapper I ever heard in my life.

And then I just kept walking. But now I hear like the number 9

and I think of Tech 9, the worst rapper I ever heard in my life.

And that's it. So there you go.

You are on mute. But unfortunately, I have a

feeling you said something very funny there.

You're still muted. Come on, Barry.

That's fair, That's fair. I'm 69.

And. 69 attended here. One big smile.

Like I said, running at lots of those lower levels did break his

maiden 2 back was not bad against Winters.

First time trying in January. Bit of time off here comes back

off the layoff there where Bill McClain does that at 15%.

So 6 to 1. Like the price there as well.

But like you said, the six just towers over this field.

I also have the 10 of my handicapping here.

Barry, you went 6:10 to 12:00. What do we like about Easy

Breezy other than that being a name that you hear in your house

a lot? Yeah, it's my daughter's

nickname, but I thought this horse handled the rising class

last time pretty well and should improve.

I I don't see why there's there couldn't be improvement in this

race, especially with the Super speed distant fleet up front.

This horse can pick up pieces late.

Hopefully we can nail this cold exacta on the bailout.
