Friday’s Santa Anita Park Recap  – Jan 4

Fast main track seemed to play fair. Patient runners nabbed both firm turf races on the card (rail at 8 feet).

Victor Espinoza and Julien Leparoux both booted home a pair.

On the ticket front I tabbed two Primary (Twelve Folds, Master Chef) winners. Carryover into Saturday.
