NOTE: No Santa Anita picks for Friday. I don’t even know if they will run with the weather forecast. Saturday should be fine, but Sunday might be an issue and they only drew enough horses for 8 races on Sunday.
Race 2 – Tam
#9 Sainte Therese (5-1) ****
Our Eyes: This filly is coming up from South Florida and takes a drop in class. She cuts back from two turns and figures to be closing down the lane. Trainer Jason DaCosta has started to win races off a slow start.
Jeff’s Playbook: 4 units to win, 5 units to place and 6 units to show. EXBX 9-1-2.
