After two winners on the closing day card at Keeneland, we will see if we can get a winner at another closing day card. Today, it is Santa Anita who ends their fall meet. We will look at the seventh race where three-year-old fillies will go one mile on the turf.
Santa Anita Race 7 – Autumn Miss Stakes
Favored in today’s race is the 6 Medoro (8/5 morning line) who comes into today’s race after finishing second in the Del Mar Oaks back in August. She has won all three races at Santa Anita and held her own in her last two. She has been very impressive on the work tab getting ready for today’s race as well.
The 1 Zona Verde (4/1 ML) goes from racing down the hill to back to the mile distance here today. This is an angle that works well many times. She is better suited for the two turn races, and this distance my be her best.
The 8 Sneaker (8/1 ML) may be moving up in class here today, but she will be on the lead here today. She will have company with the 4 Tahini (10/1 ML) also gunning for the lead. But it looks like Sneaker is faster at the start of races.
An interesting closer in this race is the 5 Mixologist (12/1 ML). She is under a new trainer for this race, but I expect the same closing kick here like she showed two races back at Saratoga.
Joe’s Pick
I am going to try to beat the favorite here today with the horse going from the hill to the mile. I’ll take Zona Verde in a mild upset over the favored Medoro. I’ll call this 1-6-5-8 and my play is $20 to win on the 1. Best of luck everyone!
