watch out about the new turf course
Anita turf was resurfaced.
http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...ses-first-test QUOTE: The finishing times and fractions were noticeably very fast in comparison to recent turf races in the region, but the jockeys didn't find fault with that aspect. Fritz Johansen, who won a mile claiming race under Desormeaux, covered the distance in 1:33.66. Three races down the hillside—including two heats for the Eddie D. Stakes (gr. IIIT) all ran in 1:11 and change for about 6 1/2 furlongs. "It's like a carpet right now," said Kent Desormeaux The front end improves with no "give", and this one looks more now like the putting green sidewalk at Del Mar than the traditional turf course. Short stretch adds to the effect that speed balls have on those surfaces. Just watched a "wire job" with a co-favorite 7th SA Thursday. See if the deep movers can gain traction enough to make big moves...May not be able to..
