Santa Anita Park Early Pick 3 Tickets for May 7
Saturday Santa Anita Park Recap: May 6 (Winning Daily Double Ticket)
Wet Fast (sealed) main track and firm turf course (downhill races moved to dirt). Two wire-to-wire winners on dirt (4.5f, 6f). The winning turf course running styles were a front runner at one mile (Sircat Sally) and a closer at one mile (Bowies Hero).
Edwin Maldonado booted home a pair. Apprentice Austin Solis and new trainer Mick Ruis teamed up to win with a pair of longshot first timers (Summer Buddha at $21.20 and The Critical Way at $92.00). Phil D’Amato saddled three more winners including Bowies Hero in the Singletary.
Sircat Sally controlled the pace and remained unbeaten in the Grade III Senorita. Late runner Beau Recall got up late for 2nd and might be able to get to Sircat Sally at some point if she gets more pace help. Promising second timer Pacific Wind missed 2nd by a head in an encouraging effort.
Bowies Hero stumbled at the start, got plenty of pace help, and outfinished fellow closer Bird Is The Word in the Singletary. Post time favorite Sharp Samurai dueled through quick splits, opening up a 2-length lead in the stretch, and weakened to 4th in an okay effort.
Saturday’s (5-6-17) suggested Early Pick 3 Tickets from Santa Anita Park yielded one Primary winner (ROY H) and one Secondary winner (Giro Candito). The winning $2 Daily Double (Races 2-3) returned $53.20. I had half of the eight horses covered in the opening leg for first time out juveniles but did hot have 7-1 winner Sir Valentine.
My suggested individual race wagers for SA included second race winner Roy H ($7.40).
