SANTA ANITA - Friday, January 18, 2013


Two winners yesterday. When I was handicapping yesterday’s card, I thought it looked easy. I was wrong and there is a $59K Pick 6 carryover for today. The only bright spot was seeing Eblouissante win easily on the dirt. Earlier in the meet, I thought Tyler Baze was unlucky. Now, I think you need a very compelling reason to use him on any horse that is not a standout, if even then. He continues to dramatically and consistently underperform on almost everything he rides. Looks like another tough card today.  Good luck!
