Santa Anita Race 6
6 - Black Tie
Usually not a fan of making a best bet in a standard claiming race, but really like the fact that trainer Rafael Becerra is doubling down on this guy. Becerra claimed him for $12,500 last time out and now moves him up to the $25,000 level. The gelding enters today after a solid 5F 1:00 workout this week and adds blinkers and ground for this first off-the-claim start. Look for him to get a nice trip and follow the smart money to the cashier.
