Check out my Sunday (2-22-26) Santa Anita Park Race 6 analysis below.
SA 6 (MSW, CA-bred, 5.5f) – Post Time 6:07 PM ET
Primary – #6 TIGER OF THE SEA, #3 All in the Game
Secondary – #1 Dad’s Bad Bunny, #2 Joyful Mischief
Horse Comments:
#6 Tiger of the Sea (5-2) hit the board in her first three turf sprints and was unplaced as the favorite in a dirt sprint at LRC in December (stumbled badly start). She landed the place at 6T Jan. 11 and moves back to the main track and Jaramillo knows her now. She should be forwardly placed at a speed friendly distance.
#3 All in the Game (9-5) was not a factor in her 6.5T bow (May 2025), and she moved to dirt and finished an improved third in November. She returned to turf and finished 7th of 10 at 6T Jan. 11. She switched to dirt, threw her head at the start, and recovered to just miss Jan. 25. Hernandez strings along and she is slowly getting faster.
#1 Dad’s Bad Bunny (9-2) removed blinkers and showed marked improvement in a show finish second time out, and that was her first start in 11+ months. She might win this if she moves forward again.
#2 Joyful Mischief (6-1) is 0-for-15 with four runner-up finishes and three show finishes. She rallied to finish a clear second at LRC Dec. 6, and she was an even fourth at SA Jan. 25. She can get a piece of the purse.
