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

In the Sir Beaufort,i'll use 2 horses. Whatsthescript is a nice horse,but I also think Monterey Jazz will be a bitch to run down.If take a 3rd it will be Rutledge Cat,because Bejarano-Frankel are pretty much like dogs stuck together right now.So,my guess is the R CAT is live(for Bejarano to get off Frankel's horse.)Still say M JAZZ gunna try to open up and leave them.

Default SA Opening Day

Malibu - Race 7

Really think only two horses can win this one.
#2 Les Grand Trois - Frankel/Bejarano 4-1
#3 EZ Warrior - Baffert/Smith 8-1

Leaning towards Les Grand Trois

Sir Beaufort - Race 8
Wide open race and like 3 here all on the outside
#10 Stoneside 8-1
#12 Adagio 15-1
#13 Twilight Metoer 4-1

Seen Dutrow do this before and Adagio has the best past number to shoot for. Enticing...

Race 2
Love #6 Bob Black Jack at 3-1 here. Anything above 2-1 and i might go heavy.

Good luck and Happy Holidays to all....

PSH

Monterey Jazz could be very tough.
