Check out my Monday (3-2-26) Turf Paradise Race 6 analysis below.
Scratches (race 6): #2 Ones On the Way, #8 Emma G
Updated Tickets After Scratches:
TUP 6 (OC-15k, F&M, 6f dirt) – Post Time 5:45 PM ET
Primary – #5 PENNYPATTER, #4 Lexithea
Secondary – #6 Veronica’s Delight
Horse Comments:
#5 Pennypatter (9-2) ran well in four of six dirt sprints in California in 2024 (2 wins at 6f). She missed all of 2025 and returned in a local sprint and pressed the pace and missed by a neck at 8-1 odds on Feb. 11. She owns the best overall pace ratings and should make her presence felt from the outset.
#4 Lexithea (7-2) was 1.90-1 in her course/distance debut on Feb. 5 and she made the lead and aired by 7 3/4 lengths (show finisher next-out winner). Valorie Lund is 2-for-22 with her graduates trying winners for the first time her winning rider Manuel Americano is 3-for-6 with this outfit.
#6 Veronica’s Delight (4-1) hit the board in her last three dirt sprints and is entered for the $15k tag. She has not won since December 2024 and might be best used underneath.
