Santa Anita: Oct. 8 Best Bet

Santa Anita Race 7

9 - Vegas Vic

This colt's speed figures jump off the page when compared to the other runners in the field. Vegas Vic's August run at Del Mar is simply not matched by today's competition. Trainer Philip D'Amato skipped the Los Alamitos meet and enters his runner fresh with a solid series of works. This guy has speed, expect to see it on display even more in this return from the short rest. Vegas Vic has not run on the grass before, but his speed will only benefit on the downhill turf course. Jockey Edwin Maldonado is also a great rider for a pacesetter and clicks with D'Amato at a nice 25 percent at Santa Anita. Vegas Vic is the best bet on Sunday's card.
