Unusual Heat back with two more turf contenders on Friday
My Unusual Heat grass angle paid dividends in yesterday’s downhill feature, as first turfer Unusually Hot struck to the tune of $17.00. The hot California turf sire has two more entered on Friday, starting with fourth race longshot Pops’hands Are Hot.
The Barry Abrams state bred maiden has struggled in four synthetic tracks, but his speed figures are respectable and he will almost certainly move up on the surface switch. Barn shows a profit with first grass runners, and it is nice to see Bejarano climbing back aboard.
Jump over to the eighth race, and California Blaze looms a live comebacker at 6-1. He pulled off a sharp wire job in his long ago downhill bow at 13-1. He dueled and faded while ambitiously placed in the Cal Cup Juvenile second time out, and he has not been seen since. Darrell Vienna is a profitable 16% with this type of returnee, and Flores does business with this outfit.
