2/18: Santa Anita (5th-8th)
Pleased to provide a happy recap to Wednesday's punts as pairs of top choice Most Likelies ($11.00 Family Holiday-6th/$5.40 Inca King-9th) and 2nd choice Best Values ($37.40 Tesora de Amor-7th/$17.40 Doubles Partner-8th) combined for the solid $891.00 P4 hit at the .50 increment. The 6th-8th sequence also produced an enormous P3 payout of $1,484.30, as multi players clearly leaned on Lentenor in the feature.
Bill Kaplan's Tesora de Amor was the lynchpin to the late action in the 7th, but while 17-1 in the win pool, may not have been that high in the multis. Kaplan moved the Medaglia d'Oro filly to the dirt for the first time after two grass routes, and the homebred Dave and Teresa Palmer filly responded appropriately with a terrific effort under Paco Lopez. Kaplan, who is a 10-12% trainer generally, is frequently under-bet with live runners and has positive ROI's in several categories worth watching. He's particularly transparent when giving Lopez a leg up, and boosted his record with the hard-riding youngster from 2/8 (+$9.75) to 3/9 (+$12.60) with yesterday's bonus mutuel. Hope you did well yesterday! Santa Anita late quad the focus today as two turf sprints at Gulfstream didn't appeal to me.
