Check out my Monday (6-15-26) Santa Anita Park Race 8 analysis below.
SA 8 (Alw-67k/1x, CA-bred, 6.5T hillside) – Post Time 7:30 PM ET
Primary – #2 FRANK BULLITT, #7 Warm Sun and Brew
Secondary – #3 Chromeflash, #5 Ballyvaughan Gig, #10 Keep Dancin Nick, #4 Druidic
Horse Comments:
#2 Frank Bullitt (2-1) completed the exacta in three of his last four turf sprints. He receives a rider upgrade to Joel Rosario and looks solid in the meet finale.
#7 Warm Sun and Brew (7-2) is 1-for-6 with four runner-up finishes and a show finish. He chased from second, led, and missed by a nose at 8T April 4, and he landed the place in both previous turf sprints. His winning rider Antonio Fresu sticks and an outside stalking trip is expected.
#3 Chromeflash (6-1) settled for minor awards in half of his last eight turf sprint attempts. He rallied for the show as a 29-1 outsider at 6.5T April 17 (Frank Bullitt 2nd). He can rally for a share.
#5 Ballyvaughan Gig (3-1) pressed and prevailed by a head when last seen in a $25k claimer at 5T in April and the claim was voided. He should impact the pace under his winning rider Armando Ayuso but 6.5f is a long way to go for this one.
#10 Keep Dancin Nick (8-1) found his way into the superfecta in 5 of 6 turf outings. He fired a local 5f bullet for this June 4 and is worth using in the exotics under Emisael Jaramillo.
#4 Druidic (20-1) finished third at 6.5T April 17 and can be used underneath.
