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 Los Alamitos.
For this Wednesday, December 11 article, Jeff Siegel shares everything you need to know for the racing card at Los Alamitos.
Tampa Bay Downs | Race 3 | 1:30 pm ET
#4 Midnight Legend (5-1 ML morning line odds) makes a big class drop to face easier competition in his first start away from the New York circuit. Jockey Samuel Marin was phenomenal last week in dirt sprints like this (5 wins, 1 second from 7 starts) and will give him every chance to succeed.
Win-place bet #4.
Tampa Bay Downs | Race 7 | 3:30 pm ET
#4 Woke Up In Love (3-1 morning line odds) goes for a Jon Arnett barn that had 3 wins and 1 second-place finish from just 6 starters last week at Tampa Bay Downs. Solid runner-up over the track November 20 and notably has finished top-2 in 4 of his last 5 starts.
Win bet #4.
