There are two solid plays at Oak Tree today -- B R's Girl in the fifth and Russian Veto in the nightcap. There are some others that look good, but those two are my two standouts on the eight-race card. Let's take a closer look:

The debut of Santa Anita's new $10 million-plus Cushion Track went smoothly Wednesday. Two of the first three races run over the synthetic surface were won in gate-to-wire fashion and the third was won by the horse that was second until the turn for home. Then, the final three were won by horses that came from well off the pace.

I got 20 bucks that says Candygram is going to get the job done in today's sixth race at Fairplex Park. Jockey change from Delgadillo to Enriquez is a wash. Both are capable jockeys who get the job done with the right horse.

What a two-man jockey race we got going on at Pomona, huh? Going into Monday's card, Martin Pedroza led Tyler Baze by one win, 21-20. This looks like it's going to be a race that goes down to the final day. Both jockeys are riding very well and are getting the top mounts at the meeting.

Give an extra special look at any horses that Tyler Baze rides at Fairplex Park these next two weeks. He ended the Del Mar meet on a high note and he's going to be riding some live horses for some very capable trainers.
