Santa Anita 02-19-2017 Full Card

Another sloppy track awaits us today and with that in mind I am keeping the tickets on the low end. All races are on the dirt today as well. We have Holiday racing starting at noon tomorrow so I will be looking to keep the ammo dry for then! Everyone will be looking at a free spot today in the Pick 4 with Sunday Rules in race 7. 3/5 in a non-graded stakes race is tough to swallow especially on an off track and with the chaos we have seen in races like this so far this season. I am going to go a little deeper in here hoping the long layoff means this just a prep for the favorite.

Possible singles today:

In race 4 Night’s Watch with Prat riding, off 3 months and showed nothing in his 3 starts he drops after being gelded and put in 2 sharp works in January

 

 

 

Longshots of the Day: Win/place bets on these

Race 3: Private Terrace, with the scratch of Melanistic this should be Ipray’s race but if we are looking for some chaos at 10-1 put in a sharp work last week and the rail is winning this race 32% of the time thus far

Race 7: Late ‘n Left, has won 3 of last 4, big jump in class but at 12-1 we are hoping the fav bombs here, she will try to gate to wire with the Sunday Rules

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.”
