Large crowd of spectators gathered at a horse racing event in a grandstand setting.

When your 4/1 lock of the day loses in a photo, you know its going to be a brutal day at the track. Whatever, the train rolls onward. Let’s have ourselves a Saturday at Santa Anita, Let’s Ride.

Race 1: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) F.Mdn 54k

#9 Maxim Rate (12/1) – She was 235k at auction and is working like a good thing.  The Conductor isn’t sold on the runners with experience in here and will key this 1st time starter in the exacta and trifecta.

Race 2: 6½ Furlongs. Clm 12500n2L

*Never a Doubt Free Weekend Lock of the Day #3 Facts Matter (2/1) – Taking a huge drop in class with good early speed and cutting back to a sprint, the Conductor can’t see her losing.

#12 Comegowithme (8/1) – She’s dropping to the claiming race for the first time and her debut effort two starts back was the fastest race in this field on the Conductor’s numbers.

Race 4: 1 1/8 Mile. (Turf) F. G3 Robert J. Frankel Stakes

#2 Escape Clause (7/2) – She loves to win and runs her race no matter what the surface, distance, or competition.  She’s the type of racehorse the Conductor loves.

Race 5: 6 Furlongs. Clm 8000

*Gullet Shot of the Day #7 Monterey Shale (6/1) – He has good early speed, is cutting back to a sprint and is working well.  The Conductor loves him at a nice number.

#9 Treasure Hunter (4/1) – He’s dropping in class and looks to be rounding into form after his last quality start.  He is the class of the field.

Race 7: 6 Furlongs. MC 30000

#5 Bachchan (10/1) – This field looks ripe for a 1st time starter and this colt is working like a rocket for top connections at Santa Anita. His sire also wins at a 19% clip with debut runners.

Race 8: 1 1/4 Mile. (Turf) F. G1 American Oaks

#5 Princess Warrior (6/1) – An impressive winner at the G2 level last start, she’s steadily improving and hasn’t run a bad race on the grass.  She’s drawn well and will be very dangerous.
