Californian Stakes
Race Analysis
HOL Jun-13 Race 9
By Rick Harris
Two scenarios for Saturday’s Californian:
Pace makes the race, or Sunland Park is the new home for thoroughbred heros.
The line up for this year’s Californian is populated with many front-running-type horses including the once beaten Rail Trip, his vanquisher Ball Four, the California-based-but-was-last-seen in Dubai and Churchill Downs Doug O’Neill-trained Informed, the Bobby Frankel-trained Mast Track, who captured last year’s Grade 1 Hollywood Park Gold Cup and a couple of others who figure to be non-players in the outcome of this contest...

| | | Selections | | Analysis |
| Paul Lambrakis | | Song of Navarone
Ball Four
Rail Trip
| | SONG OF NAVARONE will benefit from the expected fast pace. BALL FOUR could repeat his last gate to wire victory. RAIL TRIP is talented but may not enjoy this distance.
|
| Bob Ike | | Aitcho
Ball Four
Rail Trip
| | In a very competitive Grade II event, I will go with up-and-comer AITCHO (8-1). The Shirreffs-trained colt comes off a smart allowance win over the track, should get a live pace at which to run, and figures to like the nine furlong distance. Tab in a wide-open contest.
|
| Greg Boomer Wry | | Song of Navarone
Rail Trip
Mr Napper Tandy (GB)
| | Song of Navarone - could score at a price.
RAIL TRIP - razor sharp, but figures to get plent of pace pressure on the front end.
MR NAPPER TANDY - could make a late charge.
