Free Selection For Sunday 12/27

Over to the 5th race at Santa Anita today for the daily free selection. This is a one mile turf event, optional claiming $32,000. A very wide open race here and we will take a shot with #8, Big Wig. This is his second start off of a year long layoff and he ran decent in his comebacker on December 4th. We will use him in the exotics along with a small win bet.

Santa Anita Free Selection For 12/26

Today is opening day at Santa Anita and we hope to see some more competitive fields over here. Today's free selection comes in the 8th race on the program, the La Brea Stakes.

Going with the number 4 in here, Amazed By Grace with Go Go. Let's just hope that we get the 6-1 price that she is on the morning line.

Hollywood Park Free Selection For 12/20

Today, we go to the fifth race over at Hollywood Park which closes after today for the holiday break. This is an optional claimer for fillies 3 and up going 6 furlongs on the turf.

Our selection here is the number 5 horse, A Jealous Woman. She broke her maiden last time out over the same layout after a four month layoff. Joe Talamo stays with her for this one and she has been training well for this, her first start against winners. Bill Spawr is hot right now with a 32% win rate from 19 starters. Let's see if we can end the meet with another winner.

Hollywood Park Free Selection For 12/19

Today's free selection goes in the 4th race, The Stuka Stakes for two year olds sprinting on the cushion track. I think the sharpest horse in here could be the number 5 horse, Cardiff Giant. Let's take a shot with Periban here as he is having a good meet and retains Santiago-Reyes to ride this one.

Hollywood Park Free Selection For 12/18

Today's free selection comes in the fourth race, a nonwinners of one for fillies 3 years old and up. We are going to stick with the combo of Baffert-Garcia and go with the number 4 horse, Toro Bonito. She has been off since February of 09 but has been training well for this comeback. She is 4-1 on the morning line and looks spotted for the win today.

Hollywood Park Free Selection For 12/17

Today's free pick comes in the fourth race, a group of 2 year-old maidens going 1 1/16 miles over the cushion. A full field of seven goes here..well seven is a big field right now in Southern California..

Our pick is number 3, Broken Tango, a second-time starter from Bob Baffert. Has one route under his belt and Baffert has Martin Garcia riding here. They have hit with a 37% win rate over the last 60 starts when teamed up. Should get some value in a wide open race.


Race 4-#3 Broken Tango

Hollywood Park Free Selection For 12/10/09

We finally broke through yesterday with Quoted in the sixth race paying $11.00 to win. Let's try to make it two in a row today with another nice priced horse.

Today's third race has only six entrants, and I will take a stand against the morning line favorites here. These are two-year olds going two turns, and I like the #1 horse, Ballerina Angel. I see this filly up close early or maybe even leading as she exits a couple of sprint preps for this race. Let's see if we can steal one here.
