Hope this limb is strong enough but I'm going with Maxfield and Life is Good.

The sooner Santa Anita closes the better for the sport.

With the exception of the Baffert juice job in the 2nd, no one is making up any ground on this track.

No whipping, but let’s scrape the track to produce fast times. Makes sense.

I’m going way against the hype and I love Express Train.

As per usual Flavien Prat rides like he left his brain at home on big days.

Other than Jose Ortiz the most overrated rider in the history of the sport.

The rider change alone on Idol was worth 5 lengths but it’s a toss up on whether or not Baltas is going to juice that specific day. Juice obviously on today.

Another scumbag juicer.

Disappointed by Maxfield today but not as much as I thought I'd be. I guess what I saw in his last two prepared me for this. I wasn't impressed by either race and was just assuming that these horses would be no better so he could still win. Guess not.

LOL the “other” Baffert to close out the day.

Hay and oats!
