Santa Anita Park Winter Meet Recap (March 16-19)

Thursday SANTA ANITA PARK Recap: March 16

Fast main track and firm turf course. No wire-to-wire winners on dirt. The winning turf course running styles were a patient runner down the hill, a front runner down the hill, and a downhill closer (rail at 10 feet).  




Three wins for Tyler Baze. He almost made it a four-bagger but was taken down in the 7th race aboard Anita Partner.

I mentioned in my full card that Bolitar frequently promises more than he delivers. Maybe that will change for his new trainer Peter Miller, who nabbed him out of the 6th race for $16k.

Friday SANTA ANITA PARK Recap: March 17

Fast main track and firm turf course. Two wire-to-wire winners on dirt (6f, 7f). The winning turf course running styles were a front runner down the hill, a downhill stalker, and a patient runner at one mile (rail at 30 feet).

Riding double for Flavien Prat.

Aotearoa was the only horse entered for a tag in the opener and sharp trainer Phil D’Amato reached out and took him for $40k. He likes the downhill course and ended up 2nd in today’s optional claimer down the dip.
