![]() Sluggish start to the year early on, coming up empty at Aqueduct before finding the end zone at Calder. Late stakes P3 of $90+ and $485 Stage Door Betty trifecta ($1) carried the day, more than making up for the P4 miscues. Thought I had something going at Santa Anita topping the first half of the late quad, but leaving my man Proctor off the Daytona tickets quashed the attempt. Hope you did OK Saturday!
Good card and big $120k P6 carryover, ($38k Hi-5 nightcap pot as well), make Santa Anita the easy choice for today's punting, though weather watch part of the picture. "ATR" back live Monday morning to start its' 7th year... SANTA ANITA POST-SCRATCHES $120k P6 carryover at Arcadia today, but weather threatens turf action (2nd, 4th, 6th) with an afternoon storm expected. Rick Hammerle carded the featured Monrovia as that 2nd in attempt to beat the guestimated arrival of 'inclemency'. See Weather Underground for latest.. 2nd: 44th Monrovia (G3), F&M-4+, 6.5f-T (P3, DD, Super) Like Saturday's Daytona, a nice way to start the downhill course action for the season, this time for the distaffers. Headliners Evening Jewel and Unzip Me are two of my own favorite horses in training, and both return here from respective 3rds in the Breeders' Cup. Brad Free explains the status of both for today (Jewel goes turf or dirt in prep for Sunshine Millions Distaff; Unzip only runs if it stays on lawn) in his race DRF stake preview.. Most Likely: #2 Evening Jewel 5-2 5th Best Value: #3 La Nez 8-1 6th Next Best: #4 Unzip Me 8-5 WON ($3.40) Super Add: #1 Broken Dreams 6-1 2nd OFF THE TURF: 2-6-8-5 4th: ALW/N1X, 4+, 6.5f-T (P6, P3, DD, Super) $120k P6 Carryover starts here.. Most Likely: #3 Blue Jay Attack 3-1 6th Best Value: #7 Pack Your Bags 5-1 2nd Next Best: #8 Red Defense 5-2 WON ($7.00) Super Add: #9 Detroit Donnie 20-1 8th 5th: CLM, 4yo-F, 6.5f (P3, DD, Super) Brutal group with many steep droppers and most away from dirt a good while.. Most Likely: #8 Primed 3-1 2nd Best Value: #7 Sipnzin 12-1 7th Next Best: #5 She's Not Lion 7-2 5th Super Add: #10 Island Shine 15-1 8th 6th: MSW, 3yo-F, 1m-T (P4, P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #7 Anniversary Girl 4-1 3rd Best Value: #4 Hot Ticket 15-1 7th Next Best: #1 Mrs. Rosa 5-2 WON ($6.20) Super Add: #3 Lula Talullah 3-1 6th 7th: CLM, 4+, 6.5f (P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #4 Point Attended 4-1 7th Best Value: #10 Positive Force 9-2 4th Next Best: #1 Rummysecret War 7-2 WON ($8.60) Super Add: #7 The Whammer 8-1 5th 8th: Cal-OC/N1X, 4+, 1m (DD, Super) Most Likely: #2 McMurtry 3-1 4th Next Best: #6 Accelerant 7-2 WON ($8.80) Exotics Use: #4 Valiant Effort 5-2 3rd Super Add: #5 Pop'shands Are Hot 5-1 5th 9th: MDN CLM, 4+, 1m (Super, Super High 5) $38,221 Hi-5 Carryover..
