I always look forward to the Wednesday card which starts our new week at Santa Anita. It's a curious thing, these 8-race weekday cards. Often it's a "burn the midnight oil" trying to scratch out enough value to make a worthy wager. Then there are times, when the horses you like carry some very nice odds. Such is the case for this Wednesday.........it's a definite "Play Day".
Here's why I like it:
#1- Great day for the Place Pick All (PPA), which is always one of my favorite plays and I especially like it when I can easily put a couple long shots into the 8-race play.
#2 - I come up with 12 long shots over the 8-race card, which make my trifecta and P3 plays well worth the trip.
#3 - The P3 BalWaL play is only $18 to play and 5 of the 8 horses used over the 3 race sequence are 8:1 or more.
Here's what the boys at At The Track will wager on Wednesday:
- $18 on our P3 BalWal races 5-6-7
- $36 on our Baseline P6 ticket
- $36 on our $1 PPA play
- $60 in our Tri Play in the 4th (6H-3H-6H combination)
- $36 in our Tri Play in the 6th
- $36 in our Tri Play in the 7th
- $45 in our P4 races 5-6-7-8 (2 singles and one All leg)
A lot of action for a total of $267 and a very good chance to begin the week on a strong winning note. Our "Best Bets" Package details the specifics of each play.
Kentucky Derby fever is heating up and it looks to be another one of those classic confrontations where there will be several horses with win potential, which means terrific returns on the exotic plays.
We still have Triple Crown Packages available at the tremendous discount of $150 which covers our full card packages for all three of the Triple Crown races (Kentucky Derby, Preakness, Belmont Stakes). Go to our website
Good luck on Wednesday at Santa Anita and anytime you're At The Track!
