Note: Taking Los Alamitos off. Be back for Santa Anita hopefully. I’m not happy, and neither should you be, with Santa Anita going to a 24-hour scratch time instead of 48 hours. The 24 hours cuts down on the the time I have to handicap and get ahead of the game. Bad for handicappers, bad for betting companies that sell information. Bad all around.
Good luck. Stay safe. Happy holidays.

Note: Sorry no picks today. You can blame work but more importantly blame Del Mar and its 24-hour scratch rule. I can’t work ahead like I can for every other track in America, which has a 48-hour scratch time.

Good luck. Stay safe.
