R1 4:00ET 8f T LureB80k 3 UP 

The 6 horse field here is scarily short, but why not give some credence to the 2^nd highest ML long shot Mr. Impossible at 12-1?  Top LP according to the Grid and PF’s at this distance are credible.

Oh yeah, download today’s free Grid here.

R2 4:31ET 6f D Md 50000 2 YO F

Yuk.

.

R3 5:04ET 8f T Gldikova-G2 3 UP FM

Another short field of 6 and it looks chalky again.

.

R4 5:36ET 6.5f D OClm 50000n1x 3 UP 

Scarily short 7 horse field is not great for betting here either.

.

R5 6:06ET 8f T MSW 2 YO  61000

Field of 8 now that’s more like it. The top 4 in LP are 4-1, 7-2,  12-1 and 15-1.  I like especially The Slap who’s also 2^nd in power rating at 15-1.

.

R6 6:36ET 7f D GldStJuvFB175k 2 YO F

Scary short field of 6 but should be an exciting filly race.

.

R7 7:06ET 9f T TwilDrby-G2 3 YO 

It’s not often you have the top LP as an EP6, but at 6-1ML I’ll take Perfect Flight. Handy Dandy is 6-1 top Power ranking and also solid LP.  The 3 chalky horses look good but don’t forget Seven Wonders 15-1.

.

R8 7:36ET 7f D GoldStJuvB175k 2 YO 

Scary seven short field again, not much to bet on as the favorite will win it anyway.

.

R9 8:06ET 6.5f T SKMaddyL100k 3 UP FM

Do I see a field of 10? Oh my, is that even legal in Cali? Conventionally you bet on top LP in the 6.5f DHT at SA, so in that case check out Aqua Seaform Shame at 12-1, also rating top in EP.  But also there’s not much speed in this one so take a look at She’s So Nice at 8-1.  Lexington Humor at 6-1 and Freedom Flyer at 4-1 also offer good value.

.

R10 8:36ET 8f T AtmnMiss-G3 3 YO F

A field of 12 solid fillies wraps up racing in another exciting turf race.  There’s not much speed here so that’s why the favorite is 8-5, but Gracelund Gray and Pammy’s Ready are just as fast at 8-1 and 5-1.  There’s no way I’m not including Rhea Moon, top LP at 6-1, and 2LP Kitty Kitana is the best value and great long shot special.

Now, go enjoy the races and place your bets. Remember, the Breeders’ Cup is coming up quick on Fri-Sat Nov.4-5, so get ready!
