| Horse Racing Pick 3 of the Day: Starts in Santa Anita Race 8 |
Rains are expected to hit SoCal yet again this weekend. That’s a bummer because the Grade I Frank E. Kilroe Mile over the turf is usually one of the best races to bet for horseplayers during the entire Santa Anita meet.
In any case, it’s our duty as horseplayers to put forth a solid effort and actually try to make some mullah off of Santa Anita’s Saturday card. |

| Horse Pick of the Day: Santa Anita Race 7 Grade III Sham Stakes |
The Grade III Sham Stakes was supposed to be run two Saturday’s ago but torrential rains caused a wipe-out. So, 3 year olds with designs on April’s Santa Anita Derby will take to the track this Saturday to go 1 1/8 th miles in the Sham.
Named after the bridesmaid to the brilliant Secretariat in both the 1973 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes, the Sham has started to become one of the... |

The weekend is fast approaching, with several interesting Derby preps on the menu for Saturday.
The $150,000 Sham Stakes, originally carded to go last Saturday, is the feature at Santa Anita, weather permitting. There is rain the forecast and two of the last three Saturday cards were washed out by the lack of proper drainage on the Pro Ride surface.

| Horse Pick of the Day: Santa Anita Race 7 |
Santa Anita will continue with their lucky sunshine only policy this week on Thursday. That’s good news for horseplayers who should be able to find an overlay or two or three in Race 7 on Santa Anita’s Thursday card.
The race, an optional claiming $80,000 at 1 1/16th miles over the Pro-Ride surface, will showcase some up and coming fillies in Southern California. |

| Horse Racing Pick of the Day: Santa Anita Race 6 |
The rains that hit Santa Anita this past Saturday put a damper on what would have otherwise been a great day of racing.
No such rains are expected on Wednesday. Santa Anita resumes a full 8 race card on Wednesday. The best horse betting race, from my point-of-view, looks to be the 6th where 3 year olds will attempt a mile over the Pro-Ride surface.
