I congratulate Santa Anita for having the “stuff” to cancel before we all did all that work and to do the right thing for our equine athletes…

Today, we should consider “Betting  Traps”, they come in many different forms.  An easy one is a M/L favorite that’s drifting up in price on the front board.  That might work at a small track, but at places like Belmont and Santa Anita that’s a definate Betting Trap and a certain way to say goodby to your bankroll.  That’s not the same thing as an 8/1 ML that drifts up to 12/1 or higher.  That’s just a horse that got lost in betting excitement…
