Santa Anita is back next week!
Pick 5 I need a single is race is Empress of Lov who has won 2 in a row and this jockey is winning 50% for the trainer. Perfect outside post top everything in this race from speed to pace and class.
Pick 4 I need a single is race 9 Claim of Passion who last by a neck last out after bobbling at the start in the first dirt race. Has the highest last race speed, jockey wins 21% for trainer, drops in class today and races protected. The most logical single in the sequence today
Longshots of the Day:
Race 10: Pivo, the last race of the Summer Meet at Los Alamitos so I am looking at a fresh face in this race filled with mediocre horses. Pivo is a debuter for trainer Doug O’Neill who has a 21% maiden claiming win rate. He legs up Evin Roman who has won 29% for him recently. We see a sharp work for this race. His sire has 7 winners from 56 horses and dam has one winner from two. 12-1 is great value.

Typos happen and I do my best not to make them. Always read through my writeups to make sure the posted numbers are correct. I list Pick 4, Pick 5 selections and also a listing of all plays for each race. If there are any differences, please let me know.
*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.”
