We are excited to announce a renewed partnership with the fine folks and handicappers at 1/ST BET. Jeremy Plonk and Jeff Siegel will be sharing their expertise on a weekly basis to pass along some ponies that they like for races at various tracks around the country, including Santa Anita.
For this Friday, October 25 article, Jeff Siegel shares everything you need to know for today’s racing card at Santa Anita.
Seventh Race – Post: 4:00 PT. Degree of confidence: B+
Top Selection/Prime Play: 8-Kelly’s Out (Ire)
Forecast: We’re not crazy about the extreme outside draw in the local dog-legged 10-furlong turf routes, but if Kelly’s Out (Ire) runs as well today as she did when beating restricted $32,000 foes at Del Mar last time out for her prior connections she should be able to repeat on the raise for new trainer Kelly Bainum. However, that trainer has middling stats with the first-off-the-claim angle. Let’s hope the Irish-bred import can take back, drop over, and get cover for the first mile or so and then find room and quicken like she did last time. She’ll be the main push on our key Pick-6 ticket.
Eighth Race – Post: 4:30 PT. Degree of confidence: B
Top Selection/Prime Play: 2-Naida
Forecast: Naida launches a comeback and has trained like she’s fit and ready for a barn that has strong stats with layoff runners. She was game in her debut victory last year at Del Mar in a fairly decent maiden state-bred dash, and our assumption is she returns bigger, faster, and likely better, thanks to an additional year of maturity. With Juan Hernandez taking the call, the daughter of He Be Fire N Ice has the look of a live item.
