The Santa Anita derby is today but we have rain in the forecast and if the rains do come it could make a mess of the handicapping! I have selections for all the races today. Horses in (brackets) are for exotics bets or if you need extra coverage in a race.

Best Bets:

Race 3: Spanish Hombre

Race 7: Songbird

Longshots of the Day:

Race 5: Decked Out

Race 6: Sweet Treat

Today’s Late Pick 4 will cost $18 with horses listed in preference.

12,5,14

6,9

4,5

4,10,7

Races 1-8 sections and also for exacta and trifecta boxes

5,6

1,4,7

3,(5,6)

5,1,6

9,1,5

1,5,7

1,(2,6)

4,3,6

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.”
