Los Alamitos Race Course – Saturday (7-2-22)
LRC 8 (OC-20k/1x, 8f) #1 BUD KNIGHT (5-1) got that elusive second career win on turf in his 26th start June 10. His new trainer Farias is enjoying a fine year and this 6yo gelding handles dirt. The inside post is strong at this distance. #6 Impossible Task (2-1) reconnects with Ellingwood and she is 2-for-2 with Sadler recently. He should impact the pace. #2 Houndstooth (5-2) stretches out and should attend the pace under Baze. He should be forwardly placed. #5 Explosive (7-2) stretches back out and switches to dirt. The early-pressing type fits with these if he handles the footing. Wagers: #1 to win, Exacta 2-5-6/1, Trifecta 1-6/1-2-5-6/1-2-5-6
