Santa Anita Park Pick 6 – Jan 22
Friday Santa Anita Park Recap – Jan 21
Edge to early-pressing types on both surfaces. Turf rail at 24 feet. Rauschenberg (7th race) finished a troubled 3rd from the outside post in this Optional Claiming turf route and is worth following.
No riding or training doubles on Friday.
On the ticket front I tabbed three Primary (Lutess, Reba Is Tops, Requisition) winners.
