4/26: Santa Anita (4th-11th; $61k C/O)
 

Got beat up uniformly Friday to start the Santa Anita Spring Meet and I guess I wasn't alone considering the $61k C/O available Saturday. Gold Rush card is solid start to finish as discussed Friday with Hammer. Action heating up in Kentucky of course with a spate of Derby-Oaks works this morning and the Downs kicking off their season tonight...
