Los Alamitos Race Course – Friday (7-1-22)
LRC 6 (OC-40k/1x, CA-bred, 6f) #3 SHADY EMPIRE (5-1) was nabbed out of his last by Mulhall and she has decent stats first after the claim. Maldonado strings along and this one has tactical speed and has hit the board in four of his last five starts. #4 Clayton Delaney (3-1) has not run on dirt in quite some time but is 1-for-1 at LRC. Look for him late under Payeras. #2 Quick Finish (2-1) was nabbed out of his last by Wong and he is strong first after the claim. The 8yo gelding will probably chase the pace under Vazquez (4-for-8 at LRC). Wagers: #3 to win, Exacta 3/2-4, Exacta 2-4/3
