Graded workout reports with detailed analysis, workmates and more. Daily and Weekly reports for Santa Anita Park, Del Mar and San Luis Rey Training Center.

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Very few horses on the @santaanitapark grounds have worked as well as SIMPLE SONG has the last couple of months, and though he’s taking a big step up in the Triple Bend, we think he is up to it if he can handle 7 furlongs for Glatt with @kazushi0096 up. @TheMichelleYu @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

We had a nice winner Fri, let’s make it two in a row @santaanitapark in race 9 with CONQUISTADORA, who ran sneaky well vs older last time for @mwmracing, making a nice run into very fast splits before tiring. In with 3 yo f only, @JJHernandezS19 has been up in the a.m. and rides

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Friday starts a new week @santaanitapark, the last came up paceless and it appears INTUITIVEBYNATURE should be the one to catch in her third start and second route for Pederson. Last time out she tried to show speed while rank then had trouble into the first turn. @TheMichelleYu

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

@1NiceCryptoKity @santaanitapark El potente is scratched

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Very good Memorial Day card @santaanitapark, the Shoemaker Mile is an intriguing betting race. FORMIDABLE MAN is the most accomplished horse in the race, but doesn’t appear to be fully cranked up and prefers Del Mar. CALL ME CORY is the only speed and in great form, but class?

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

The interesting price horse is SEAL TEAM 12/1 on the ML switching to Rosario. He needed his sprint comeback then was moved way too soon in the American. Working in fantastic fashion for Mandella, he should be set for his best and get a great stalking trip. @qheddie @TheMichelleYu

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

@TheMichelleYu @AMCTheatres This is yet another of the many examples of why it is so difficult to exist in this day and age. The amount of gauging is disturbing.

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Cal-breds dominate the Sat. Card @santaanitapark, in race 1, razor sharp PURE CHAOS should make it three in a row since joining the Baltas barn, shortening up with Ayuso back up off a facile win in this condition routing. Look for her to get hammered off a terrible ML @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Starting a four day week at @santaanitapark, race 2 offers value as we like BOTH Harris Farm entrants, HERE ON BUSINESS and VAN GOGH STYLE in an exacta box. ‘BUSINESS has worked very well up to his debut, ‘STYLE should do better on dirt, look for both to run well. @TheMichelleYu

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Very vulnerable favorite in the last @santaanitapark, let’s look for a big price with VOLCANOLOGIST, making her 2nd lifetime start and first on grass to improve off her debut switching to @RickyGonzalez10 . Working very well since, look for an upset. @TheMichelleYu @jockeyjess

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Let’s take a shot in race 8 @santaanitapark with class dropping comebacker WAITING FOR MY CUE, the only 4 yo in here, working decently, taking a big drop vs. bottom level maiden claimers off a year layoff and gets French jock Belmont for new trainer Powell @qheddie @TheMichelleYu

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

In the finale Friday @santaanitapark, IMABOUTAGO, likely to draw in from the AE, is very tough at this level and should get a great stalking trip from her outside post. Working well since a nose loss last time, @ArmandoAyuso2 has been aboard in the a.m. @TheMichelleYu @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

@SportsNetLA Freddie freeman is a class act

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Employing a similar pattern as yesterday’s maiden claiming winner for @rhansonracing, POSITIVE TIMES, dropping in class and shortening up with @MaldonadoJockey back aboard should graduate in race 7 @santaanitapark. Look for him to be close lead throughout. @TheMichelleYu @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Returning off a 13 month layoff after running poorly in her only start, VERY SMART has trained very well (including a much FTG gate work) for her new trainer, draws well, @Antonio1Fresu has been up in the a.m., she should win race 6 @santaanitapark @TheMichelleYu @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

In the opener at @santaanitapark, both MOON and FATHER TED have impressed the https://t.co/i9y19PPrgk clockers the last two months, let’s opt with the bigger price, MOON, who has shown ability, Espinoza has been up in the a.m. play an exacta box with both horses @TheMichelleYu

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Moved way too soon in her comeback try at a mile last time out, we look for CAILIN DANA, the ML longest shot @santaanitapark to relish the 1 1/2 miles in the Santa Barbara. Training great since her last, look for a better timed ride under @ArmandoAyuso2 @TheMichelleYu @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

11 races at @santaanitapark on the Kentucky Derby Day card. The local feature is the Whittingham, we look for SEAL TEAM, who worked spectacularly before his last start, where he was moved way too soon and flattened out late, to get a better timed ride and handle the 1 1/4 mile

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Hard to be training any better than comebacking A. Z. Wildcat has off the bench for @johnwsadler according to https://t.co/i9y19PPrgk. With a series of excellent works, look for her to be very tough in race 3 @santaanitapark with @Antonio1Fresu aboard. @TheMichelleYu @qheddie

[So Cal Workout Report @SoCalWorkouts]

Santa Anita based Workouts for horses racing on 5/1 and 5/2 at Churchill Downs are now available for purchase. We are including BOTH days for ONE price of $12. What Southern California based horses are coming up to their races best? Can a first timer shipping fit well. @qheddie
