Santa Anita Race 8 Saturday January 30
Race Analysis SA Jan-30 Race 8
Fantastic recent form on the turf puts THE USUAL Q. T. atop this interesting field. Can he handle the synthetic stuff this time? If so, perhaps he's this decade's answer to the immortal John Henry. ACCLAMATION might have no option but to be involved from the get-go from the outside, and that style may give him a puncher's chance today. COMPARI gets the class test here, and will force any late rivals to earn their victory. ENRICHED also charts to have some sustained punch. JERANIMO is another who can pick up the pieces inside the furlong grounds. The remainder of the lineup appears outgunned.

If THE USUAL Q. T. now takes to this surface, he looks like the 21st century's answer to John Henry...maybe. ACCLAMATION also has doubts away from the turf but gets a good forward position today. Lightly raced COMPARI figures to have no problems kicking on in the final eighth.
In a close call between two win machines, I will give the edge to front-running COMPARI (3-1). The Jones-trained gelding has rattled off four straight and has a more early foot than razor-sharp THE USUAL Q. T.
