Check out my Friday (2-28-25) Santa Anita Park Race 5 analysis below.
SA 5 (OC-50k/1x, CA-bred, 8T) – Post Time 5:35 PM ET
Primary – #3 I’M A BAD BOY
Secondary – #6 No Poking Around, #1 Dynodave
Horse Comments:
#3 I’m a Bad Boy (2-1) was a close third in a turf sprint at DMR Dec. 1, and was a close second in the King Glorious and unplaced in the Cal Cup Derby. He won two dirt sprints last year and was earning solid numbers prior to his last.
#6 No Poking Around (3-1) improved his speed ratings in all three starts. He added lasix and graduated at this course/distance Jan. 19. Umberto Rispoli is 5-for-26 with Robert Hess, Jr.
#1 Dynodave (8-1) probably needed his flat mile turf return Feb. 15. He graduated at 8T last fall and might move up second after a layoff and second start with lasix. His winning rider Kyle Frey stays put.
