WHO WILL SNAP TO THE FRONT?
Race: The Bra Snap - Grade I - $250,000
Track : California
Restrictions : Fillies and mares, 3 years old and up
Distance : A mile and one sixteenth on the Dirt
Still in California, after working last week’s North Fork, I was able to use the extra time at the California Thoroughbred Association (CTBA) LIBRARY, which is located directly across, from the infield Parking Lot. The Bra Snap, is the third of four Grade I events on the Card, a $250,000 event, for fillies and mares, 3 years old and up, at a mile and a sixteenth, over the Main Track. With a 0% chance of rain and a fast track, a certainty, the Racing Secretary is expecting shippers from across the country and possibly the world. If, this proves to be true, the Race could go into the books as, the Meet’s best. The Entries include:

ANALYSIS
The Race shapes up as a battle up front, between SCHITZNGIGGLE, MONARC, ST. ARCH, and JUST DID BEFORE, which should sort itself out, by the half mile pole. From that point, I see SCHINTZNGIGGLE and JUST DID BEFORE, battling on into the stretch. Where, DEMONIC PRESENCE, who has been tracking, the pacesetters, pulls on to even terms, with SISSON’S MARK and BORN TO DANZ close behind. As they approach the wire BORN TO DANZ out finishes SISSON’S MARK, wearing down SCHINTZNGIGGLE and DEMONIC PRESENCE in the process.
