Cashing in on Midnight Transfer!
Midnight Transfer - another winner for Globeform subscribers!
Globeform's new US Service Report advised just one bet at Santa Anita on Sunday; the San Pedro winner Midnight Transfer, who delivered an impressive late kick to beat Got Even. The favorite Drill was, as predicted, not on the board. Midnight Transfer paid $6.40.
From Globeform's Sunday Report
MIDNIGHT TRANSFER: Visually impressive and clocked a good time when breaking his maiden over 6 furlongs at Santa Anita in December (sat just off a furious early pace, moved up leaving the turn and ran on very strongly, despite a bit green, to score by 4 ¾ lengths from Bernster (debut), with King Maya third (debut)). The two that chased him home have yet to return to the races, so the form is not easy to assess – but Midnight Transfer looked well above average. His time compared favorably with Got Even's winning time in the California Breeders Champion over 7 furlongs on the same day. Midnight Transfer was making his fourth start, and coming back after a seven-week break. He was fourth in a strong maiden at Santa Anita in early November, behind Hodge (G3 placed since), Brother Francis (G1 placed since) and Bling Cha Bling (winner since).
Midnight Transfer gets a 4lb pull at the weights with both Drill and Got Even here, and if he improves a bit again (most likely), he will be hard to beat. He is stepping up slightly in distance, but on breeding that should not be a problem. His dam, French Satin (French Deputy), won the 8.5-furlong Florida Oaks (G3) at Tampa Bay Downs and ran third in the Davona Dale Stakes (G2) over a mile at Gulfstream Park as a three-year-old. She is a half-sister to Lion Heart, who won the Haskell Invitational (G1) and ran second in the Kentucky Derby (G1).
Another big winner for Globeform subscribers at Santa Anita, as OUT OF BOUNDS beat the odds-on favorite Secret Circle and paid a massive 10-1 in the Sham Stakes.
Great day for Premier Paddock Pass Subscribers!

GO AGAINST SECRET CIRCLE AT SANTA ANITA
Bob Baffert runs his Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint winner Secret Circle in the one-mile Sham Stakes (G3) at Santa Anita tomorrow, and the unbeaten son of Eddington is sure to start favorite. Looking at the panel of tipsters in the Daily Racing Form, I see that every single expert has Secret Circle on top. He is a talented colt but I am not convinced Secret Circle will win this race. Loaded with speed, he will face one big problem in the Sham, namely the distance. His pedigree offers hope that he will stay a mile.
His running style does not. In fact, he was almost caught by the English trained filly Shumoos when scoring over 6 furlongs at Churchill Downs. Shumoos is no superstar. She had raced six times previously and won a Listed race. That she managed to come from well off the pace to grab second says a lot for the rest of the field in the inaugural running of the BC Juvenile Sprint. It wasn't a great bunch. Two of them tried stakes company next time out, and both got hammered.
So if we are going to get involved in this race, we simply have to bet against Secret Circle in the Sham, even though he is up against just five rivals. Steve Asmussen's colt Hierro, who was fifth to Alpha (fav. for the Count Fleet at Aqueduct tomorrow) on his debut, then second to Souper Speedy at Belmont before breaking his maiden by over five lengths at Churchill Downs, will get his supporters in the Sham.
The one I like though, and I like him a lot, is the Eoin Harty trained OUT OF BOUNDS. This impeccably bred Darley runner caught my eye when winning a maiden over 7 furlongs at Hollywood Park last month. A son of champion miler Discreet Cat out of the Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) winner Unbridled Elaine, Out of Bounds was full of energy when passing the post that day, after having quickened up well from off the pace to beat Sir Bond by ¾ length. Strictly on form, this was nothing more than what one could expect from Out of Bounds but he won in a manner suggesting there is plenty more to come. He is certain to improve, he will have no problems with the mile trip, and he is a tempting bet here.
He made his debut over 6 furlongs here at Santa Anita in October, and checked in fourth, 4 lengths behind So Brilliant. So Brilliant went on to land the Hollywood Prevue (G3), where he beat Brother Francis, subsequently a good third in the CashCall Futurity (G1). This all looks good to me.
