Frankel and Juddmonte have a daughter of Toussaud running today in the 11th race at Santa Anita. Tolerance (her name) is facing a particularly weak bunch of maidens in the nite cap. Of course, she'll be 3/5, but with a large Pick Six Carryover and using her as a key to Pick Fours, some cash is still possible. In her debut, it looked like P-Val was told "give her a race". She ranged up easily on the rail in a downhill sprint race and was not urged much to run an easy third; plus, she galloped out super, which is rare in those downhill sprints, so the extra distance should be a plus.

Speaking of Frankel,he's got a few other perverbial beasts running today. Notre Dame in the 9th race looks like she could be any kind of filly, and a return to the grass should be all that's required to move her into the winner's circle again. She ran her heart out in last on dirt against a very strong speed biased track and a good competitor, her stable-mate, Lady Pegasus. Singalong a decent sort of filly looks like her main competition there along with Carini and Immortalite bringing up the rear.

Frankel's loaded again the the big feature with Argentina, a real monster who had NO SHOT in her last race chasing a VERY slow pace and decent foes -- the extra distance should suit her well. Cissy is a deserving longshot who looks also to have a world of potential -- seems like a nice exacta in the making.

The rest of the card is OK. In the third race Charm the Giant is yet another beast of a filly; she returns off a layoff, and she should toy with her rivals there -- anything NEAR her 3-1 morning line is a GIFT -- 3/5 is more like it!

Ok that's enough. Closing weekend at Santa Anita. Another year older and another season of "what if's", "al-mosts" and "if-only's" -- what else is new?
Time to hit the showers and on to the track.
Good luck to all.
