Santa Anita Park: Late Pick 5 Key Horses for Friday, January 8

Yes I am Free at 6/1 saved Thursday at Gulfstream for the Conductor, but man did he need Real Talk in the 7th. He’s still excited to head back out to west to  Santa Anita for Friday. Let’s Ride.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. (Turf) OC 100000n1x

#6 Gator Shining (5/1) – This colt rallied nicely to break his maiden last time at Santa Anita. He looks to get a nice trip today with a hot pace to run at.

Race 6: 6 Furlongs. F.Clm 10000

#9 Wandering Patrol (2/1) – Drawn well to the outside with an early pace advantage, she looks tough to beat.

Race 7: 1 Mile. (Turf) OC 62500n2x

#3 Salvator Mundi (4/1) – He ran a huge late pace figure last time at this level closing into a slow pace. The mile is his best distance as well.

Race 8: 1 Mile. OClm 40000

#1 Zestful (5/2) – Without anyone else wanting the lead, he’ll be difficult to pass in the stretch.

Race 9: 1 Mile. (Turf) Clm 25000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #9 Camino de Estrella (10/1) – #7 Fly to Mars (3/1) looks tough in here, but the Conductor sees this gelding taking a big step forward at price. 2nd off the layoff and claim and switching to turf, his races on the lawn fit with this group.
