02-03-2019 Santa Anita Full Card

More rain more mud but let’s see if we can get some payouts with small tickets today

Pick 5 I need a single is race 3 Calm Down Lady who drops in class today, has the top speed, outside draw and races for a tag today off a nine month break  for the owner trainer so they want the paycheck

Pick 4 I need a single is race 7 I Am The Danger won last in a race that saw 4 winners come out of the race. That is rare on this circuit. Also has mud spede rating of 95. Single all the way

Longshots of the Day:

Race 1: Journal Entry, race is listed on turf but I cannot see it running there. Has mud in the blood and the best races have come on dirt. 1st start off the bench and races protected I hope we get this 10-1 price. Best late pace and has speed

Race 2: Freedom Hill, trainer is 25%, 22% shipping, 25% claiming and 23% routing. Ran 2nd last out and has has raced over mud with a closing 3rd last October. Top class in this field 6-1 is a great price

Race 5: Bold Mongolian has the top last race speed, best late pace, lost by a head last out but has mud in the blood and trainer is 2 of 4 2nd time routing we get 6-1 or more

Race 8: Sheer Flattery., likes the mud, gets in light, won the last race and rises in class we get a 10-1 or more price. This horse can wire them or stalk and that versatility at this price is great

Horses listed in brackets are for added coverage if wanted and for exotics.

For races where I only have one or two selections I usually like to KEY the top choice  with the second choice and an outside for trifectas.

When I have three horses selected in a Pick 4 or Pick 5 consider them for Trifecta boxes and for superfecta boxes use the 3 selections with the highest priced horse with good form or top tier jockeys riding, especially if they give a price. Rolling Pick 3 and doubles using selections.

Irish horse racing saying –

“Bíonn grásta Dé idir an dialait agus an talamh.”

“The grace of God is found between the saddle and the ground.”
