Moreno is my prime alternative to Palace Malice in Saturday's Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park.
In reality, the meaning of the term “best bet” in Daily Racing Form is “most probable winner.” That was the case Sunday in race 1 at Santa Anita.
A double carryover in the pick six is up for grabs beginning with race 4 at 2:53 p.m. Eastern. A key question throughout the afternoon will be who handles the off-going.
The pick six Thursday at Santa Anita is the topic of conversation. With a carryover of $129,366 already in the pot, new money could exceed $750,000.
Although three favorites, a second choice and a third choice were in the mix, most of the fresh $180,435 going after a $29,573 pick six carryover was dead after the first leg, when King Dix C (4th, $109) tested all the bulbs on the tote board.
California Chrome would seem to have three potential early-pace rivals: Samraat, drawn in post 7, General a Rod, drawn in 10, and Tonalist, drawn in 11.
