And the “v” horses were Great on Saturday – winning a total of $63.60 against a lowly cost of only $18.00. Let’s add that Roper was an good 2nd at 12/1 returning $12.00 to place in the 2nd at santa Anita. To go with “V” wiiners Arethusa ($22.00) and Singing Kitty at ($41.60)… Additionally, STAR horses returnd $12.00 against $6.00 in cost…
But as good as my Power Page’s were, Shared Belief was bomb!!!
The San Felipe, The Kilroe Mile, The San Carlos and The Santa Anita Handicap are headlining out at Santa Anita.
While back East at The Big A they are sporting the Tom Fool and The Gotham mile.
Obviously, the headline action will be at Santa Anita. First we are going to see, what I believe is indisputably the best horse in world in Shared Belief. I don’t like to make predictions in this space, but to me – this is a walkover. Although stranger things have happened in racing, I don’t expect any other horses to be near him at the end. I believe the wager is – how many lengths does he win by! And I am not worried about some cheap speed type stealing this race, that can happen when they are more evenly matched, but if Shared Belief is feeling — OKAY — he will run over all the horses and against any bias – then win off by himself .
As for Dortmund – he will encounter Bolo for one. Bolo has raced even faster than Dortmund, but that was on the Turf. I have rated Dortmund a 1/2 point higher, but in truth that’s because I downgraded Bolo for not ever racing on Dirt. So I ask, “what if Bolo likes the Dirt better?” These are 11 fabulous races at Santa Anita – and if you have a need for Speed – you will be rewarded and satisfied!
