On some of his British form, Adagio could win this with his legs tied together, but I haven't really been able to follow him since he went across the pond. Has he held his form? He has been known to be rather inconsistant in the past. He won The Craven will a stupid amount in hand and then was strongly fancied for the 2000 Guineas but was a no show, the same could be said about his run in the Dante at York.

Mr Napper Tandy on the other hand was probably too consistant for his own good (and handicap mark). Off the top of my head he was never out of the first two in all of his starts here in the UK. Finishing second to good horses like Creachadoir and Tariq. He shouldn't be underestimated.

Given the shady condition regarding the track I think it would be best served to watch the santa anita races for a while before investing....I heard last weekend (9 days ago) they threw a bunch of sand on the surface and wanted to do some works and it just turned into a quagmire.

Whatever fix they have in place is just a complete band aid.

I agree on the Cushion Track... give it a pass.

At least there is still the turf course to wager on.

Santa Anita officials still wary of track surface condition, "We don't know what will happen when it rains again... we may have no other choice but to treat it like the old dirt and then tear it out when the meet ends."

The CHRB stubs its toe again. MORONS

Default Desert Code

I'll play #1 Desert Code to win. Two G3 wins albeit vs. small fields but like his Place and Show results in two other G3 races, one at the distance on an AW track and the other at 6f on the turf. Also like his record on AW tracks (4:2-0-1), second start off the layoff, reunites with Migliore and with the rail post he should rate off scary fast #5 pace setter Johnny Eves and hoping he can hold off #9 Great Hunter who ran well off the layoff to win G2.

#1 to win
#1/5/9 Exacta Box

Merry Christmas!

IT'S A DECENT HORSE.I think 6 or 6 and a half is better for him than 7,but unfortunately Anita 7f doesn't play like a real 7f.Track favors this type horse more than it does the favorites in this race.This is the type of horse I fear in here(ain't that good,but the best horses just may not be able to close on this track.) I don't trust them to set the hot pace.Whateva the paper says gunna happen,these jocks try to do the opposite.
