Note: I will try to post one race per day. The rest of my picks are at fatbaldguyracing.com but it’s a pay site. If you are interested Dan will give you a deal.

SANTA ANITA

NINTH RACE: 3-6-8-12-10

When I heard Frankie Dettori was coming over from England to ride this meet, my first thought was to fade him and then superagent Ron Anderson took over and he has some quality mounts today. This might be his best chance here with #3.

Good luck. Stay safe.

FOURTH RACE: 4-7-3-6-2

2-year-old MSW fillies. Teena Ella is the third foal of champion Beholder. Word is she is quick and can run. Baffert has Wudl and Faiza so take longer price.

Good luck. Stay safe.

NEWS: After years of doing this website for free, I have been offered a spot as West Coast handicapper for fatbaldguyracing.com and will make a few bucks. My site doesn’t cost much but still to get paid to do picks was something I couldn’t turn down. Dan has a great site and reasonable prices for multiple tracks per day. I have been a subscriber for years.If you are interested in Dan’s site, get in touch with me and I’ll help you get a deal (hopefully).

I will continue to try to put one race a day up here. I wanna thank all those who haven’t contacted over the years and put up with my medical issues and those in my family. I also wanna thank those that paid for my site one year and those that slipped me a couple bucks after a big score. It was appreciated.

TODAY’S FIRST RACE: 6-2-1-7-5

That man Flavien Prat is back in the saddle and John Velazquez is out this year, too, so beware.

As always: Good luck. Stay safe.

Fourth choice winners: 1 (Elite Power $13.10, sevcenth, daily double key $63.22)

Long shot winners: 0

NOTE: Due to the absurb starting times here on the best coast, no thoughts on Race 1-2 or Race 12. Heck, I might miss first couple of BC races after working late Friday night.

THIRD RACE: 7-6-4-13-3

FOURTH RACE: 1-5-8-4-9

In Charlie Appleby we trust.

FIFTH RACE: 1-2-3-5-10

It’s a shame Laurel River scratched. Slow Down Andy might just go from the No. 1 post and never slow down. Sneaky.

SIXTH RACE: 5-3-11-10-9

The Euros vs. Chad Brown. I like the Euros.

SEVENTH RACE: 4-5-9-6-6

American Therom comes out of the ultra key Pat O’Brien at Del Mar with 3 winners and a runner-ups so far. Why I was so bummed about Laurel River (comes out of same race).

EIGHTH RACE: 4-11-3-14-9

iN cHARLIE WE TRUST.

NINTH RACE: 8-1-4-6-2

10TH RACE: 7-11-4-2-12

Do I need to say it again? In Charlie we trust. However, I’ll be honest: I don’t like morning-linr favorite Rebel’s Romance. I know he is 4 for 4 on the turf but I question those fields in Germany.

11TH RACE: 1. No. 4 Flightline, 2. No. 1 Taiba, 3. No.2 Life Is Good, 4. No. 7 Olympiad. LONG SHOT: No. 5 Hot Rod Charlie.

Come on, did you really think you would see any horse’s name other than FLIGHTLINE in the top spot? Trainer John Sadler and crew are looking for a fitting end to a magical campaign. His Pacific Classic race was awesome. Bob Baffert is looking to prove TAIBA is the top 3-year-old this year and he has a shot. LIFE IS GOOD was in the Baffert barn before the suspension. HOT ROD CHARLIE is tough as nails.

Good luck. Stay safe.

NOTE: This might be the worst card of the meet so thread lightly. All the top jockeys are out of town at Breeders’ Cup so you are going to see some combinations that don’t make sense.

FIRST RACE: 3-6-1-2

SECOND RACE: 5-4-3-7

THIRD RACE: 1-4-6-7

FOURTH RACE: 5-2-3-7

FIFTH RACE: 2-1-10-9

SIXTH RACE: 10-11-4-5

SEVENTH RACE: 7-1-2-6

EIGHTH RACE: 9-3-7-6 (BEST BET)

NINTH RACE: 5-2-8-7

10TH RACE: 2-3-7-1

Good luck. Stay safe.

FIRST RACE: 8-9-6-4-5

SECOND RACE: 6-11-10-8-2

THIRD RACE: 6-11-3-1-7

FOURTH RACE: 9-11-12-10-8 (best bet)

If You don’t think Bob Baffert doesn’t want to stick to the state of Kentucky, you are sadly mistaken. ARABIAN LION is training lights out of his maiden win and Baffert wants the money.

FIFTH RACE: 9-4-1-4-6-2

SIXTH RACE: (Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Sprint): 11-5-2-4-9

Baffert will a speedy grass horse. Who knew?

SEVENTH RACE (BC Juvenile Fillies): 3-14-7-10-8

AND NO TELL ME NOLIES hasn’t gotten any respect here in California (including me) but all she does is keep winning. This daughter of Arrogate can get the distance for trainer Peter Miller.

EIGHTH RACE (BC Juvenile Fillies Turf): 4-10-7-11-1

NINTH RACE: 1. No. 10 National Treasure, 2. No. 3 Cave Rock, 3. No.8 Lost Ark, 4. No. 4 Forte. LONG SHOT No. 6 Blazing Sevens.

Bob Baffert and Todd Pletcher  dominate a lot of 2-year-old racing this time of the year so that’s what I have in this superfecta. NATIONAL TREASURE ids the “other” Baffert as CAVE ROCK will be singled on a lot of tickets, but Treasure has beern teaining lights out after his last race and could be the “now” horse. LOST ARK had a nightmare trip in his last so draw a line throught it. BLAZING SEVENS is from the Chad Brown barn and gets that man Flavien Prat to ride.

10TH RACE: 8-4-2-6-11

Good luck. Stay safe.

FIRST RACE: 4-3-9-11

SECOND RACE: 1-8-5-7

THIRD RACE: 1-3-8-6

FOURTH RACE: 6-8-1-10

FIFTH RACE: 4-2-3-6

SIXTH RACE: 6-5-3-1

SEVENTH RACE: 4-5-2-6

EIGHTH RACE: 1-4-6-2 (BEST BET)

NINTH RACE: 3-5-10-7

10TH RACE: 8-5-4-2

Good luck. Stay safe.
