Saturday’s Race Day Plays :

AT Aqueduct… Red Vine at 7/2 was poorly managed by J. Rosario – to my eye – he was an easy winner…but Rosario managed only to get the place.

At Del Mar… Toledo Eddie, ran 4th after getting caught in tight behind slow cover.  It’s not clear that he was good enough with a better trip..

It’s important to state, not all bad trips are the fault of the jockey.  In the case of Toledo Eddie, it was just unlucky circumstances that the horses in front of him backed up and he was locked into the pocket – generally a good spot.  In the case of Red Vine, this was an extremely live horse with tons of run, and Rosario had plenty of opportunity to guide him OUT OF THE POCKET and into the clear.  The fractions were so slow, that he was essentially unused at any part of the first portion of the race, but he did find a way to get in trouble…

The KHSS will NO LONGER be offered! 

I am removing the KHSS — as I am preparing a more comprehensive product.  The new product will be available on or about the opening of the Santa Anita meet at the end of December…
