At The Track - Santa Anita - Friday 2/24: Top Picks are listed in the handicapped order of finish. They are often not the program favorites, although today looks chalky. Long shots, where listed, should be used in all your exotic plays, along with our Top Picks.
Race #1 Top Picks 3-7-6
Race #2 Top Picks 1-5-3
Race #3 Top Picks 5-1a-4
Race #4 Top Picks 6-1-2
Race #5 Top Picks 7-10-8, Long shots 12-6
Race #6 Top Picks 3-6-2, Long shots 1-7
Race #7 Top Picks 1-4-2
Race #8 Top Picks 10-3, Long shots 1-8-4
Wagering strategy: Today we recommend vertical bets, using our 1st and 2nd position Top Picks over All over each of our Three Top Picks in the show position. We're trying to catch a surprise runner to run second at a good price. Trifecta's are our favorite vertical bets. In order to cash a large Trifecta play, you need a good price horse to run 1st or 2nd and second appears more "in the cards" today. For the races where Long Shots are listed (races 5, 6 , and 8)...........large bank rolls should box each of the selections (Top Picks and Long Shots).......for the shorter bank rolls, box the same 5 horses in a 10 cent superfecta. Good luck -- At The Track
