Nick Tammaro’s Sunset Six – 01/11/26

SUNSET SIX – 01/11/2026

RACE 8
5 ARTEMUS CITYLIMITS
1 BOAT’S A ROCKIN
3 ITZA BOSS
The sudden surge of trainer Marty Drexler makes #5 ARTEMUS CITYLIMITS that much more interesting as he fits well here going synthetic to turf.  The speed of #1 BOAT’S A ROCKIN makes him formidable, as he can get the early lead and prove very dangerous getting key class relief.
RACE 9
3 BRENNA
5 ST. OLAF ROSE
2 JUST A PHILLY
#3 BRENNA has shown gradual improvement of late and now moves up in class for Herbert Miller.  She’s facing tougher competition than she had in recent outings and should get some pace to run at in here.  The favorite, #5 ST. OLAF ROSE, is dangerous enough even with a jockey change given Irad Ortiz, Jr. is off his mounts today.
RACE 10
4 SUNRISE
3 GAIRLOCH
1 THOUSANDSTICKS
The surface switch on #4 SUNRISE makes him a threat given that his past turf exploits put him in range.  His trip in the Laurel Futurity stunk, as he was in contention before being steadied in upper stretch.  This is a spot where he can produce a late run at a square price for connections that are often over bet here.  #3 GAIRLOCH was a handy winner on debut of a race that has not re-produced its form in the ensuing months.

SANTA ANITA PARK

RACE 8
1 QUEEN MAXIMA
8 NAY V BELLE
4 SPICYBUG
How are they beating #1 QUEEN MAXIMA here?  She towers over the competition on paper and should control things from the inside. Even if she is not on the lead, she’ll be a threat from just off the pace.
RACE 9
5 ANOTHER JUANITO
4 GOLDEN CHASER
2 PICK IT UP
#5 ANOTHER JUANITO goes 2nd off a layoff and drops a notch in class.  He was compromised by both a slow pace and wide trip last time out and should fit well here getting lasix for the first time.
RACE 10
1 HEAVENLY PRINCESS
10 BAILARINA
8 YURAK
A potential long shot here in #1 HEAVENLY PRINCESS as she moves to turf and bids to make all from the rail.  She is bred for turf success being kin to two turf winners including sprinter Mumbai.

Main Ticket: 1,5 with 2,3,5 with 1,3,4 with 1 with 2,4,5 with 1,10 = $108 for $1

Good luck!
