Never ask a lady her weight :) The Santa Barbara Handicap

[Bill V.]

Race 4 Santa Anita 10 furlongs on the turf



BLBL before hides Top 3 ML and high weights

[Bill Lyster]

No surprisingly two of the hi wts also have the top two mile times.

1 137.0 3-2-1
2 136.0 3-3-5
3 134.6 5-4-3
4 134.8 2-2-1
5 135.4 8-9-7
6 135.5 1-1-1
7 134.4 6-5-5 or 7-5-4
8 136.2 7-7-6

The 6 gets pressed by the 4 with the 4 prevailing IMHO, then 3 gets first run on the 7. I would take the 3 over the 7 FWIW and the 4 could prove a nice price as it ML = 8/1

good luck to you all,

The chart:

[DontSayDont]

It seems strange in a race going 1 1/4 miles, that they need to have the horses run almost another 30yds before the timer starts.

Hi Ray

I guess I should think about the run up

I suppose for years horses on the outside post have run much longer than
the horses in the inside post. Its just another notation in the pp's.
So probably someday the pp's will show the run up distance too.

Good Skill
