1/24: Santa Anita Carryover

[wigmore]

Thanks for posting your selections so early. Very helpful for such a confusing card.

I must admit I wouldn't be going to the track if not for the huge carryover... I may still decide to give it a pass and save my bankroll for a planned trip to Santa Anita this Saturday for the Sunshine Millions....

I can't believe you have no mention of Maxii Arte, I thought for sure you would be all over this horse. I think a jock switch also which I remember thinking that was a positive (having a job really sucks becuase I can't verify these things )

Speed/Fade off the layoff, good fig off that lay, about 65% to at top/pair.....

I only see that race as 8,9....no one else

I made a futile attempt with a $16 ticket.

5/12/11/7/7,9/13
10/12/11/7/7,9/13
5/12/4/7/7,9/13
5/12/11/7/7,9/11

In the final race today at SA, I really think that the 14 "Scarface" has a big chance today. Yet i must be the only one because I have not seen him mentioned much at all on any of the SA threads.

Granted the post is no bargain and the connections are not well known, but the form and speed that this one shows to me really stands out. Plus I love the blks off move today. It just seems odd that a horse that is 9-2 on the morning line is getting so little attention on this board. I almost made him a single on my PK6 ticket but opted to include the more obvious Highly Gallant.

I liked him too orginally, but I have a hard time making a case for a 6-yo maiden, despite being lightly raced. And I realize the 11 is no spring chicken either to be running here, but I'll single him in my pk6 due to budget issus, but would include both (along with the 6,7 and 12) if I had deeper pockets today.

I like him, too. He'll be on my ticket if I play and most likely the 10 and 11. I'd like to have more (6 or 8), but it'll make my ticket way too expensive.

Here's the ticket that me and 5 others are placing today.

3) 5,10,12
Don't think the two prior dirt efforts by the 5 were due to the surface, but she is bred for turf. Big drop in class of the layoff, and could be live considering she ran fairly competitively last year against Balance, Foxysox, etc..

4) 2,6,8
If Red Opal doesn't get to the finish line, I'm hoping it's because Mashina and Corey Nakatani make a clever, ground saving trip to win. Moogie fits on class and has run well down the hill.

5) 4,6,7,12
I think the 4 logical horses are covered. I'll let the 8 and 9 beat me if they can.
6) 4,7
Wanted to single Court Seeker, but was overruled. I'll see if Antifreezete can really wire this field.
7) 7,8,9
Would love to cover Charm the Giant and Ballados Thunder here, but can't. I don't care for Maxxi ARte, but one of my partners insist on including her. Honestly, it's reassuring knowing you have these two covered (Nakatani/Frankel and Espinoza/Gallagher)in a turf stakes.
8) 11
Highly Gallant can return to form and win fairly easy. Am worried about several in here, including the 6,7,12 and 14. But...let's roll.

3x3x4x2x3x1 = 226 x $2 = $452
Good luck everyone!

It almost seems a hunch play with Jon Court in the saddle....

He is on my ticket in the Contest.

I also liked the 9, Alluring Eyes in the 3rd race, 4, Peace and Love in the 4th, 1, In My Life in the 6th, and the 3, Bush Prowler in the 8th, but couldn't get them on my ticket.

I liked him.I told Scav to use him.This is not the kind of horse you feel confident in telling people to put their money on.This rider just got him into trouble last time(waiting for room on the turn ...dum de dum dum,)and the trainer is so-so(but not reliable.)YOU EITHER WIN WITH THESE,OR YOU FEEL LIKE A SUCKER(FOR PLAYING THE CONNECTIONS.)One,or the other.

I had a strong feeling about him, thats why I put up the post which is something I seldom do. He looked like a great value to me because he had the best current form and speed. I kept debating whether to make him a single or not on the PK6 ticket and ended up going two deep in that race. My only reservation was that the rider would not find a way to get a good trip from so wide. But he actually did exactly what he needed to do which was not to try to be cute and hang back, he just rode him fairly aggressively towards the front end as if he had the best horse in the race which he did.
