Today, our free selection comes in the 7th at Santa Anita, the La Puente stakes. Our horse here is #3 Leedstheway, with Joe Talamo up. This one is listed at 8-1 on the morning line and should get a ground saving trip, hopefully with something left turning for home. The favorite, Battle Of Hastings will break from the 11 post, seems to have to be near or on the lead and should have to race wide throughout the mile over the turf. Joe Talamo has really come into his own of late and also has shown that he can be patient with a horse and make that one big move at the right time.
That is the essence of turf racing and jockeys are a big factor when handicapping turf routes.
