ARCADIA, Calif. – A $58,869 pick six carryover mitigates the takeout Friday at Santa Anita, and after the late money arrives, track officials estimate the gross pool will exceed $400,000. New money typically shows up late, after CAWs scan early wagers to identify inefficiencies, then flood the pool in the final minutes. It is not unusual for the total pick six pool to double in size from zero minutes to post, until the field breaks for the first leg. The pick six begins in race 4 and starts weak: low-level claiming sprint, maiden-claiming turf route, and a claiming sprint for 3-year-olds. Quality improves in races 7-9: Cal-bred allowance sprint for 3-year-old fillies on turf, starter allowance for 3-year-old fillies on dirt, and a non-winners-of-two-other-than turf sprint for fillies and mares. Below is a rundown. :: Santa Anita Classic Meet! Get DRF Past Performances, Clocker Reports, and more. Race 4: Fillies and mares sprint for a $6,250 claiming tag. Most enter off night races at Los Alamitos, including comeback program favorite Honorable Gal and Respect the Crown, who won a $5,000 claiming race last out. A Rousing Babe drops from a $10,000 claiming tag. Others in the weakest race on the card are Rock N Roll Song, Dress Rehearsal, and Cee’s the Image. Race 5: Program favorite Gallatin drops from a maiden special weight sprint, in which he pressed the pace and finished last, to a $50,000 maiden-claiming turf route. Jonathan Thomas trains Gallatin, the likely pacesetter. “He’s the horse to beat if he takes to the turf and the stretch-out,” Thomas said. “He wouldn’t surprise me if he was good enough to win, but I don’t have a whole lot of faith in him. I didn’t like that he was the first one to wave the white flag [in his debut].” Progeny of Authentic prefer dirt, but Gallatin’s female family includes Grade 1 turf winner Dress to Thrill. Kazushi Kimura rides Gallatin. Prime Artist, a six-start maiden, will be running late. Race 6: Listed 3-5 in the program, Sendit Mo is the shortest price on the card. He is the speed of the field, adding blinkers, and dropping to a $25,000 claiming tag. Based on his runner-up finish two starts back, Sendit Mo could be gone. Beers On Me returns from Sunland, while Joker Went Wild was claimed from a low-rated $20,000 maiden-claiming win. If the favorite misfires, anything goes. Race 7: This allowance turf sprint for Cal-bred 3-year-old fillies is a do-over for Still Unwritten, an impressive maiden turf winner Jan. 17 and among the favorites in a dirt allowance on Feb. 20 where she almost made it to the gate. Trainer Ryan Hanson described what happened: “She was walking up to the gate, perfectly calm, she wasn’t doing anything wrong, and she caught something out of the corner of her eye [and reared]. She didn’t flip, she just sat down.” Automatic scratch. Still Unwritten resumed training immediately afterward. “She never missed a beat, worked right along,” Hanson said. He believes the filly prefers turf over dirt. If she breaks running, Still Unwritten can wire the field under Edwin Maldonado. Otherwise, the promising maiden winner Troisieme Etoile could get there for the meet-leading trainer-jockey combo of Doug O’Neill and Emisael Jaramillo, who are 19 for 65 together. Troisieme Etoile is listed as the 8-5 favorite, while Still Unwritten is 7-2. Those odds are likely to be closer, if not flipped outright, at post time. :: Get the Inside Track with the FREE DRF Morning Line Email Newsletter.

Trainer Mike Puype advises caution. “My biggest fear handicapping-wise is I’m not sure [the maiden race] was a very good race. She did everything right and looked good, but I’m not sure there was depth there,” Puype said. Five ran back, none won, and one finished third at odds-on. Puype is right. Meridian Mae beat a bad field. If Meridian Mae is not as good as her line looks, program favorite Memetic is a viable option. She drops from Cal-bred N1X for the O’Neill-Jaramillo duo. Memetic is 5-2, Meridian Mae 3-1. Race 9: A second-level allowance turf sprint for fillies and mares came up deep, led by 9-5 program favorite Certitude and Imaboutago, two-one, respectively, in a similar turf sprint Feb. 6. Certitude is a consistent filly with four wins from 18 starts and eight seconds. “Certitude runs every race,” trainer John Sadler said. “She’s got very steady form.” Jaramillo rides Certitude for the first time, while Imaboutago overcame trouble to defeat Certitude two back. Imaboutago is entered for the $80,000 optional claiming tag. Phil D’Amato entered droppers Jungle Peace and Irina’s Charm. Jungle Peace will benefit from her comeback. “She definitely needed that last race. It was a really strong race.” D’Amato said. “With a race under her belt, back to firm and softer company, she’s a strong fit.” The second D’Amato starter is live at a price. Irina’s Charm scored a fast allowance dirt win two back, then was overmatched and uncomfortable from kickback when fifth in a Grade 2. Irina’s Charm, whose turf races last fall in Kentucky were not bad, looms the come-from-behind upset candidate. Irina’s Charm is reunited with Kimura, back on turf and listed at an attractive 12-1. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
