Check out my Tuesday (1-27-26) Turf Paradise Race 4 analysis below.
Scratches (race 4): #4 – Yes He Can
Updated Tickets After Scratches:
TUP 4 (Str-Alw-5k, 4&up, 6.5f dirt) – Post Time 4:38 PM ET
Primary – #2 LITTLE TROUBLE
Secondary – #5 Strength of Autism, #6 Scratchy Apache
Horse Comments:
#2 Little Trouble (3-1) was claimed on 9-17-25 and he fired trifecta shots in all five local starts since (3 wins). He aired by 16 lengths on Dec. 4 and he captured his last two flat mile starts on turf and dirt. Adrian Castellanos got acquainted with him last time and Jose Silva, Jr. is 6-for-16 recently. He turns back in distance and won a pair of dirt sprints at Canterbury last year.
#5 Strength of Autism (8-1) was 6th of 11 in a local $10k dirt sprint Dec. 27 and his new trainer Alan Brown is 3-for-7 first after the claim. The 5-time local winner projects a stalking trip at a price.
#6 Scratchy Apache (4-1) rallied to hit the board in his last three local dirt sprints. He should be closing in the stretch and can be along for a share.
