californiawinning.com SANTA ANITA RACE COURSE (The Great Race Place) Saturday, March 2, 2019 NEW SUBSCRIBERS: YOU WILL RECEIVE SIX CALENDAR WEEKS OF SELECTIONS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL FOUR WEEKS, FOR A MERE $20 SEE BELOW ON HOW TO SUBSCRIBE Message Board to My Subscribers Clarification of the Nature of the Ultimate Pick of the Day, Penultimate Pick of the Day Ladies and gents, suppose, hypothetically of course, that in a graded stakes race today here at Santa Anita we found Man O War, American Pharoah, Sea Biscuit, Justify, Secretariat, Curlin, Vasilika, City of Light and Fahan Mura in a field of nine. There is no way in that hypothetical race that any of the foregoing iconic equines would ever be the Ultimate Pick of the Day or even the Penultimate Pick of the Day. The point: The Ultimate Pick of the Day may or may not be the best horse racing that day. The Penultimate Pick of the Day may or may not be the second best horse racing that day. The Ultimate Pick of the Day is the horse that is most likely to win the race in which he/she has been entered. The Penultimate Pick of the Day is the second most likely horse to win his/her race. Those selections are based upon how high the horse is graded relative to the other challengers in his/her race. I am sure you understand this distinction. Thanks for reading this.

Mini Happy New Year Handicapping Tips *** wring everything you can out of your DRF, Racing Digest, Race Lens etc., look at everything, every nuance, there could be a clue lurking there don t be formulistic and rely on multiple angles, not just one *** don t be overly concerned about slow workout times, as some trainers don t push it until race time do pay attention to very recent very fast workouts, they provide a great insight as to the race day condition of the horse Horsecallany It is said by the horse whisperers that horses probably do not recognize their name, as dogs do. However, they can routinely be trained to come when called, and that is likely a product of the fact they do recognize familiar faces and voices. Recent studies show that horses recognize human emotions by the person s countenance. Saturday, March 2, 2019 Santa Anita Race Course FOR AMUSEMENT---AND NOT BEMUSEMENT---ONLY!!! (Of course, these are recommendations only, and there are no guarantees in this sport, but that is what generates its mystique. And so, please follow your own heart and mind, considering me as a mere advisor, when making your selections. In any event, I do wish you all the best in your quest to predict the future, because it ain t easy. And remember, horses, just like us, have aches and pains, headaches, suffer fatigue, etc. Try not to get mad at me, I usually have excellent days, occasionally, not-so-excellent days: with all of the informative past performance data we handicappers have in front of us, we have no idea how a particular horse feels at race time. (By way of example, maybe that 50/1 colt is in a big hurry because he has a hot filly waiting for him back at the barn so please stick with me if there are a few speed-bumps along the way.)
This analysis is prepared under the reasonable assumption that (i) all turf races will be run on a firm turf track, and (ii) all dirt races will be run on a track graded fast. Should different conditions exist at post time for a given race, please temper these selections with your own best judgment in light of less-than-ideal conditions. Please see my Handicapping Tips No. 6, What If It Rains on Race Day?, in this regard Note: Please keep in mind that I call them as I see them and do not set the odds, nor do I even look at the M/L before I conduct my comprehensive analysis of each race I just select the horses who I believe are the most likely to come in first, second and third, respectively however, as we all know, a horse is a horse, of course, of course on any given day. Additional Note: There is no warranty, express, implied, legal, moral, or otherwise with respect to these graded selections, they are for amusement only. There is likewise no warranty, express, implied, legal, moral, or otherwise, for any failure on my part to transmit any daily analysis to you: your sole remedy in the unlikely event that happens is that you will receive a credit for one day s analysis and you will receive the next racing day s analysis free of charge. All purchases are final, and thank you. Incidentally, did you know: the average career of an NFL running back is a mere 2.57 years, and the average number of total career races for a thoroughbred is a mere eighteen races? Did you know: while thoroughbred horses tend to max out at about 40 m.p.h., quarter horses in very short races have been clocked at 55 m.p.h For only $2 for a daily card, or $20 for a thirty calendar-day subscription, you can have my full card delivered to your electronic mail inbox for each racing day for a calendar month. Even if you prefer your selections to mine, look at it this way: I provide a rather elegant summary, in one sentence, of all of the relevant information from the past performances of three contestants, the three horses whom most would agree are the contenders just look after Today s Free Selections below to see how to order, and thank you THE FOLLOWING ARE TODAY S FREE SELECTIONS : Races 1-3 (see below)
Note- for newcomers: here is the definition of a Likeable Longshot : it is a horse whom we do not expect to win or place in the contest, however, his/her payoff will be huge (usually, 10/1 or better) and there is some other mitigating factor that suggests that a nominal bet could payoff really nicely. Other mitigating factors which suggest you make a nominal (by your definition) win/place bet on this longshot might include one of more of the following: the horse has a high percentage of winning at race distance, he or she carries a great jockey, or carries a good jockey with a significant weight allowance, or, the horse comes out fourth in your ranking of the top three, and so on and so on. Sometimes it is almost visceral, preternatural even I am sure you get the idea now don t bet the house but it makes an excellent beer money, as in Bud Light, bet! Note: Likeable Longshots are not available in this free version of californiawinning.com s analysis.

SUBSCRIBE NOW AT TODAY S FULL RACE CARD ON THIS SITE ULTIMATE PICK OF THE DAY: PENULTIMATE PICK OF THE DAY: RACE 1: All entries but She sluckythatway have won at race distance ( RD ) Wellrested Lucky Student gets a couple of notches of class relief, has only won three of eleven races at RD, and hit the board five additional times at RD, this top 2018 earner carries a talented apprentice, he of the continuing five-pound weight allowance, critical in so short a race. The narrow ML favorite, narrowly over Lucky Student, is Duranga, who gets a notch of class relief, the mare won at RD here last spring, she enjoys both a top trainer and our winningest apprentice, he too afforded a five-pound weight allowance. Madame Mousse has won two of four races at RD and hit the
board in another, albeit on the synthetic, he is trained by the Baffert of the North and comes off a narrow win at RD. Likeable Longshot(s) and Ultimate Pick of the Day and Penultimate Pick of the Day : (there is a Likeable Longshot for this race and there are several today, and there is an Ultimate Pick of the Day and Penultimate Pick of the Day, but such are not available in this free version you can go to Today s Full Race Card on this site and purchase today s full analysis for a mere $5, less than you pay for your DRF or Racing Form, and they don t handicap for you OR you can subscribe for thirty (3) calendar days for a mere $20, at the same location on this website If you have a PayPal account you can easily make payment at PayPal.me/SailorBoston if not it is free to set up) RACE 2: Mo Bob is a fine Irish lad, born and bred on the lush county green (County Tipperary), thus he is preternaturally suited for turf racing, the rested gelding is the sole entry to have posted a win at RD, which came her last time out with this excellent rider aboard, his trainer is none to shabby as well. Tartini knows only the turf route, usually longer than the mile so he will appreciate the shorter race, where he has actually done his best work speed-wise, the jockey is accomplished and he is a clear and present danger. Falcone is in the hearts and minds of the odds maker(s)/computer as the ML favorite, in large measure because he has hit the board in five of six grass races at RD, his rider/trainer duo is enviable too but I wonder if he can win off such short rest--- thirteen days as he has not liked his two instances of short rest at all. RACE 3: Eskenforadrink is in the hearts and minds of the odds maker(s)/computer as the ML favorite, as the filly has hit the board in seven of nine races on the main track, winning two, one at seven furlongs, the top 2018 earner in this
field carries an accomplished rider and will battle in this bland field. Conformation, a rested contender, gets significant class relief, is one of three entries to have posted a win at RD (see also Sea Glass and Cee Sam s Girl), she knows little but route distances and has good connections, look for her to put up a fight. Speaking of Cee Sam s Girl, she comes off a win at RD here, in the slop as it were, with this veteran rider aboard, in this pedestrian field she could foul up the best laid high falutin post-race dinner celebration plans of other owners at The Brigantine.
