an important 3yo prep race is today at santa anita..the sham.  the top notch horse in the field is the undefeated el gato malo...but i dont think he will come home victorious.  i like colonel john just a bit better.  its going to be a tough battle between these 2.  there both very talented and exeptional runners.  the other intrest in the field is the japanese bred reflect times.  he was 2nd in the san rafael, a race that was won in a romp by "the bad cat", of el gato malo, for those who dont know spanish.  coast guard will be scratched from this race with a minor ankle injury and will run in the el camino real derby at  bay meadows ina a few weeks.  so basically my trifecta for this race will be 1-6-7 colonel john over el gato malo and reflect times.  colonel john salready has experience over the 1 1/8 distance because he ran 2nd in the cash call futurity in december.
