Best Bets, Score Predictions for Saturday Jan. 16
Matt Blunt

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Nashville Predators

Money-Line Odds: Columbus +104; Nashville -120
Total (Over-Under): 5.5

Score Prediction: Nashville 4 Columbus 2
Best Bet: Predators ML

It appears I'm not starting nearly as high on Columbus or possibly as low on Nashville as the market suggests for this game, as the Predators are a team I do believe can be more of a player in the Central Division than their +800 price tag suggests.

The Blue Jackets are right behind them at +900, but I would have had Nashville be listed as a slightly bigger favorite than this.

The Predators have won six of the past eight meetings between the two clubs for what that's worth, but I view this as a short price on Nashville regardless. That info definitely doesn't hurt that position.

San Jose Sharks vs. Arizona Coyotes

Money-Line Odds: San Jose +108; Arizona -125
Total (Over-Under): 5.5

Score Prediction: San Jose 3 Arizona 2
Best Bet: Sharks ML

Maybe it's starting to show up as a theme, but San Jose is another team I'm not in a hurry to completely give up on this season, as I'm not sure they will be as bad as expected in the West.

It will be an uphill climb to compete for a playoff spot for the Sharks for sure, but they've been where Arizona is trying to build up too, and understand what type of team will be coming for them.

Also, an older team like the Sharks would do itself a great help by starting out hot and piling together wins while they are fresh and haven't been bogged down by some brutal travel or back-to-back spots.

Arizona is another one of those teams that I still prefer to treat as a “prove it to me first” team, similar to my thoughts on Montreal yesterday. These are the games the Coyotes are supposed to win if they want to make that next leap, but sight unseen, the prove it first idea is worthy of a fade.

Al Cimaglia: Meadowlands Early Pick 4 Analysis

January 16, 2021 | By Al Cimaglia

The Meadowlands has a competitive 15-race card scheduled for tonight. The 0.50 Early Pick 4 begins in Race 6. The sequence has a $50,000 guaranteed pool with a 15% takeout, and it will be my focus.

Comments and selections below are based on a fast track.

Race 6

1-Yacht Seelster (8-1)-Had a nice try from post 9 at this class last week and raced from the back. Dunn is back in the bike, should be forwardly placed and is well worth a swing at the morning line price.
2-Decision Day (6-1)-Fired hot off the bench, now steps-up and AMac steers instead of Zeron. Has enough gate speed to be put in play early and could be better than last week at a square price.
4-Semi Tough (3-1)-Got on the engine and was just a bit short after being off since 12-26. Took 7 pictures last year in 21 starts. Gingras returns and this could be the spot to get 1st Big M win, currently (0-8).

Race 7

1-Warrawee Unique (9/2)-Idle since 11-20 and comes off an okay tune-up but this isn't a strong group and a soft spot if ready.
3-Incredible Shark (7/2)-Gets some post relief, drops to a better level, and makes 2nd straight Big M start. The barn has been so-so but like #1, this is a beatable field.
5-American Boy N (3-1)-Makes 3rd start off the bench and was on the point in last. Should be on the ticket but was camera shy last year going 2-23.

Race 8

1-Ollie's Ztam (6-1)-Comes off a dull try at the Meadows, but Gingras should have him near the top of the stack and could pop at a square price.
5-Lachie Maguire N (9/2)-Got on the engine in last 2 starts and faded down the lane both times. Loses Dunn and Zeron may look to work a ground saving trip and roll by late. This is the 3rd start in sequence, needs a good steer and an honest pace.
8-Italian Delight N (3-1)-Steps-up again after winning 2 straight. Normally not a time for me to use, but both wins were done easily and probably is the one to beat again.

Race 9

4-B Stoney (7/2)-Comes off 2 big efforts from the 8-hole and just missed versus better in last. Allard steers instead of Dave Miller but he knows how to blast out and get on the engine. Should be a major player and can take a picture if steals a quarter.
7-Paduka N (9/2)-Has a similar M.O. to #4 but Todd McCarthy could land in the 2-hole and trip out at a fair price.
8-De Los Cielos Deo (8-1)-The 2 above should be leaving as well as #9. So, if a speed battle ensues here is the closer that could pick up the pieces.

0.50 Early Pick 4

1,2,4/1,3,5/1,5,8/4,7,8
Total Bet=$40.50

Jeff Siegel's Santa Anita Analysis/Wagering Strategies - 1/16/21

January 16, 2021

Jeff Siegel’s Santa Anita Analysis & Wagering Strategies

Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s “Daily Analysis and Wagering Strategies” isolates those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.
*
The selections are posted at 6:00 a.m. and updated later in the morning to reflect late scratches and changes (approximately 10:30 a.m.).
*
*
Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.

Click to view today’s Santa Anita Workout Report

RACE 1: Post: 12:00 PT Grade: C+
Use: 1-Agamemnon; 2-Jetovator; 5-Shady Empire; 10-I Wll Not

Forecast: The Saturday opener is a difficult state-bred allowance sprint on dirt that requires a considerable spread in rolling exotic play. Use as many as your budget allows. Shady Empire was nosed out in a similar affair at Los Alamitos last month that produced a career top speed figure, and with another forward move today the J. Bonde-trained gelding may be as good as any, especially with the switch to J. Rosario. Jetovator is eligible to this condition right back after winning an identical race on a different surface (grass) last month. Whether he can be as effective on dirt remains to be seen but based strictly on speed figures he’s a serious player. I Will Not is solid on form, having finished a good second at this level last month at Los Alamitos with a competitive speed figure. The son of Square Eddie projects to settle in the second flight and then have his chance from the quarter pole home. Agamemnon ran well two races back when missing in a photo at 43-1, but then didn’t fire in a similar spot in his most recent outing. The Grazen gelding continues to impress in the a.m. and likes this track, so at 8-1 on the morning line we’ll include him on our ticket.
*
*
RACE 2: Post: 12:30 PT Grade: B+
Single: 4-Burnin Turf

Forecast: Burnin Turf has much in his favor in this maiden state-bred turf miler for older horses. The D. Blacker-trained gelding, third in both of his starts with rising speed figures, has worked well since his most recent outing in late November and should continue his improving pattern as he gains experience. With the switch to F. Prat and the always-popular blinkers off angle, the son of Acclamations seems pretty solid at 2-1 on the morning line, and at that price we’ll make him a win play and rolling exotic single.
*
*
RACE 3: Post: 1:00 PT Grade: B
Use: 3-Mister Bold; 4-Swift as I Am

Forecast: Swift as I Am was nosed out in a similar allowance optional claiming sprint at Del Mar in late November, and with steadily rising speed figures and a healthy recent series of workouts the J. Sadler-trained gelding should be hard to beat. The son of Danza was nearly seven lengths clear of the rest when beaten last time out, and with J. Rosario staying aboard he’ll probably leave at a shorter price than his morning line of 3-1.Mister Bold, listed as the 5/2 morning line choice, is the one to fear most and is a “must use” in rolling exotic play. Back sprinting after finishing a close fourth when favored in the one mile King Glorious S. at Los Alamitos last month, the J. Bonde-trained colt gets Lasix, blinkers and F. Prat, so there’s every reason to believe he’ll fire his best shot while turning back to his preferred trip.
*
*
RACE 4: Post: 1:30 PT Grade: B+
Use: 1-She’s Devoted; 2-Leggs Galore; 5-Warrens Showtime

Forecast: She’s Devoted gets a class test today while moving in stakes competition after a pair of nice wins to begin her career, her debut last winter over this turf course and then most recently in an entry-level allowance grass dash at Del Mar. She’s developed a late-running style and therefore should appreciate today’s extra furlong, so with some help up front and good racing luck from the rail the daughter of Grazen may be able to to tag the speed at 4-1 on the morning line. Leggs Galore seeks her fourth straight score, with all three of here prior wins accomplished sprinting on turf. She has excellent early speed and projects as a strong pace factor throughout, perhaps even the controlling speed. She’s also 4-1 on the morning line and a “must use” in rolling exotic play. The most dangerous of the deep closers is Warrens Showtime, a four time winner over the Santa Anita turf course but clearly (so far) most effective over a distance of ground. She’ll be running on strongly late.
*
*
RACE 5: Post: 2:02 PT Grade: C+
Use: 5-Complete Control; 7-Allergic to Logic

Forecast: We’ll try to survive and advance in this maiden $50,000 claiming sprint for state-bred 3-year-old fillies using just two in our rolling exotics. If you feel the need to spread deeper, go right ahead. Complete Control makes her eighth career start but her first with Lasix while returning to the maiden claiming ranks after finishing a respectable fourth in maiden special weight Cal-bred company at Del Mar in late November. On pure numbers she’s a strong fit at this level and had run well over this main track in the past. She’s hardly a standout but the logical top pick. Allergic to Logic is a first-timer from the B. Koriner barn with win-early breeding (Smiling Tiger) and a work tab that indicates some ability. With F. Prat taking the call she has the look of a live item, even from a barn that doesn’t have good stats with debut runners. Tread lightly here.
*
*
RACE 6: Post: 2:33 PT Grade: B+
Use: 6-Closing Remarks; 7-Sensible Cat

Forecast: Closing Remarks ran into a roadblock when attempting to rally along the rail entering the stretch in the Jimmy Durante S.-G3 at Del Mar last month and lost whatever chance she may have had, eventually being taken in hand late and winding up last of 10. She tries state-bred foes today and is reunited with “win rider” M. Smith, so with better luck the daughter of Vronsky may be capable of producing the last run. Sensible Cat, a smart winner of her last two with rising speed figures, is the likely choice and one to beat. She has good tactical speed to ensure a clean trip and can settle just off the leaders and then kick home when called upon. Both should be included in rolling exotic play; we’ll have a couple of extra tickets keying Closing Remarks on top.
*
*
RACE 7: Post: 3:05 PT Grade: X
Single: 1-The Chosen Vron

Forecast: The Chosen Vron graduated at first asking in very impressive fashion, establishing the pace in hand and then kicking clear with ease to earn a powerful number like a gelding with a future. The future is today in this year’s edition of the Cal Cup Derby, and from the rail he should be capable of controlling the race from the start to finish over a two-turn trip that we anticipate will be within his capabilities. He’s 8/5 on the morning line and likely to go lower, so we’ll make the E. Kruljac-trained sophomore a rolling exotic single and leave it at that.
*
*
RACE 8: Post: 3:37 PT Grade: B+
Use: 2-Ward ‘n Jerry; 4-Indian Peak; 8-Acclimate

Forecast: Here’s a deep and competitive nine furlong grass affair for older horses that offers several possibilities. Indian Peak, listed at 8-1 on the morning line, catches the eye in his first start since joining the B. Koriner barn. A stakes winner over this course and distance as a 3-year-old, the son of Comic Strip should receive the patient ride he requires from J. Rosario, and in a race loaded with pace types it’s possible the son of Comic Strip can produce a sufficient late kick to register an upset. The works look good and this colt could easily be a better four year old then he was as a sophomore. Acclimate and Ward ‘n Jerry both exit graded stakes races and should appreciate this softer assignment. The former does his best work on the front end, but with other committed speed types in the field P. D’Amato-trained gelding may be forced to employ stalking tactics, which has never been his favorite type of trip. The latter, a four-time winner over the Santa Anita turf course and back with “win rider” F. Prat, will suited the projected pace flow and figures to come running in the final furlong.
*
*
RACE 9: Post: 4:09 PT Grade: B+
Use: 1-Tigre Di Slugo; 3-Fashionably Fast

Forecast: Fashionable Fast is the defending Cal Cup Sprint winner and certainly can win it again this year if he’s ready to fire off a more than five month layoff. The works are decent enough, but the son of Lucky Pulpit doesn’t really have a history of firing fresh, so it’s possible that he’s a race away from behind dead tight. Tigre Di Slugo continues to impress both in the morning and in the afternoon, and if he can negotiate a good trip from the rail the Smiling Tiger gelding figures very strongly. Most effective as a late-running sprinter and with J. Rosario riding him back, the M. Puype-trained gelding earned a career top speed figure when beating a first-level allowance field at Del Mar in late November in his first start in nine months, so we’re expecting a forward move and a big effort despite the class hike. The proven class horse Fashionably Fast gets a very slight edge on top but both should be included in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 10: Post: 4:41 PT Grade: B-
Use: 5-Miss Baylee; 6-Another Eddie; 7-Omg It’s Jessica; 10-Annietown

Forecast: The finale is a grass grab bag for state-bred maiden 3-year-old fillies. Anything goes. Omg It’s Jessica tipped her hand when narrowly missing in her debut at Los Alamitos last month but if she can build on that effort today the daughter of Smiling Tiger from the dam of the good Cal-bred sprinter Oliver should be capable of earning her diploma. She’s the quickest of the known element, but with so many newcomers in the field the pace scenario looks muddled. Another Eddie, third in the same race Omg It’s Jessica exits, goes for a trainer whose second-time starters often improve, and this daughter of Square Eddie certainly is bred on both sides of her pedigree to move on the lawn. Annietown is a Cal-bred by Speightstown debuting for Glatt (solid stats with first-timers) and with F. Prat taking the call she certainly has the makings of a live item. Miss Baylee, a promising second when well-backed in her debut last June, returns for B. Koriner with a series of good works and could easily be a better type this time around.

Edzo's Saturday Longshot Bets at Gulfstream

January 15, 2021 | By Eddie Olczyk

handicapper Eddie Olczyk is back with a pair of Saturday spot plays at Gulfstream Park on Sunshine Stakes Day in South Florida. This duo offers juicy prices on a stakes-laden program.

Gulfstream Park // Race 9 // Sunshine Classic Stakes // 3:46 pm ET // 1-1/8 miles dirt

#7 Kaufy Bean (10-1 ML)

His allowance third Dec. 11 was a good return from a 7-month layoff. He's tactical and the distance should be do-able. Kaufy Bean should provide value here with #1 Noble Drama and #3 Last Judgment expected to get a lot of action on the board.

Gulfstream Park // Race 11 // Sunshine Turf Stakes // 4:50 pm ET // 1-1/16 miles turf

#8 Clear Destination (15-1)

While this gelding's record only shows 1 win on the grass in 9 career races, keep in mind only 2 of those turf attempts have been around 2 turns like today's race. He finished second in both, including last time out over this course at 35-1. Those races put him in the mix here at an overlay price. There's plenty of pace to run at with Proven Strategies, Monforte and Max KO front-running types.

The pucks have dropped this week in the NHL and the ponies are in high gear. It's a great time of year as I look forward to next week's Pegasus World Cup Betting Challenge!

Race of the Week: Sunshine Turf Stakes at Gulfstream

January 14, 2021 | By Jeremy Plonk

$75,000 SUNSHINE TURF STAKES AT GULFSTREAM PARK
Saturday, January 16, 2021

The Lead:
Sunshine Stakes Day hits the Atlantic coast Saturday at Gulfstream Park with a series of Florida-bred stakes races. Among the 4 features are the Classic, Sprint, Filly & Mare Turf and the Turf. The latter may be the best betting race of the quartet, and goes as Race 11 of 12 on the card. First post time Saturday will be earlier than usual at 11:45 am ET.

Field Depth:
This group of 9 matches up very similar on class with several listed stakes winners and common opponents across Florida's stakes scene. There's no discernible class edge among the likes of VENEZUELAN HUG, GALLEON MAST and MONFORTE. PROVEN STRATEGIES joins the local state-bred stakes scene after competing in open company in New York and Toronto.

Pace:
PROVEN STRATEGIES has fired to the front in 5 of his last 6 starts and from post 2 probably will be hustled along again. MONFORTE next door is always in the pace mix, as is MAX K.O. This should be a solid early pace with late runners having no excuses to fire if they get a clean trip.

Our Eyes:
VENEZUELAN HUG won the Sunshine Turf Preview at Gulfstream Park West and won his only 2 starts over this course in 2020 at Gulfstream Park proper. That Preview victory was his first attempt against older horses, and the now 4-year-old looks poised to be a long-standing member in this state-bred turf division. He was getting a 3-pound break in the Preview from photo-finish runner-up SECOND MATE. He'll now tote co-top weight of 122 pounds and give 4 to his past rival. That's a 7-pound weight shift and we're only talking about a head difference in margin Nov. 21. You could make the case that the value play was VENEZUELAN HUG at 7-2 last time, and now SECOND MATE offers more value. Note SECOND MATE finished a decent fifth in the Sunshine Turf last year against an arguably tougher field that included winner March to the Arch. SECOND MATE is working well for this.

The top returnee from last year's Sunshine Turf is third-place finisher GALLEON MAST. Like SECOND MATE, he's now 8 years old and both are just 1-for-their-last-10 while posting several solid losing efforts. But GALLEON MAST never got uncorked in the Sunshine Turf Preview across town and his workout tab gives no indication of a big wake-up.

PROVEN STRATEGIES recently turned 4 and has yet to take on elder stakes runners. I like the way Mark Casse's barn perked up with 3 winners last week after needing the first month of the Championship Meet to tally his first 3 scores. PROVEN STRATEGIES has done all his best running on the front, and it should be contentious with MONFORTE latched to him from the outside. MONFORTE was the beaten favorite in the Sunshine Turf Preview when battling on the front end and tiring to seventh. He'll get a new pilot in John Velazquez, which never hurts, but he's got to prove himself against this pace pressure and older stakes horses. The price likely will be an underlay on the rider change and 8 straight starts being bet to 3-1 or less.

OVER THE CHANNEL has won 2 of his last 4 and has done his best running on the GP turf. David Fawkes removes blinkers after a wide trip in the Claiming Crown Emerald.

Most Certain Exotics Contender: VENEZUELAN HUG has won 4 of 6 since moving to trainer Danny Gargan's barn, and that outfit has been sharply on point with limited starters at the Championship Meet.

Best Longshot Exotics Contender: SECOND MATE will offer another solid price, and MAX K.O. doesn't have a great pace set-up for his front-end style, but he's a recent $50K claim for a Mike Maker barn that's made a career out of high-dollar claims turned turf stakes winners.

Sending it in ($100 bankroll): $50 win and place SECOND MATE.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Laurel Park - Race #4
Picks Notes
#5 Share the Ride Looks likely to be a handful in this spot, as he's quick enough to sit close early, but he can settle just off what promises to be a quick pace.
#1 Wendell Fong Finished with some enthusiasm last out, and he has been pretty reliable over the local footing. Seems useful in the underneath spots at a square price.
#3 Penguin Power Proved he could cut it with this kind last out when showing the way in the lane before settling for third. He looks like the best of the pace players.
Race Summary Share the Ride should get a perfect trip just behind the pace, and he reliably earns BRIS Late Pace figures that suggest he's the one to worry about when he comes calling.

Laurel Park - Race #7
Picks Notes
#2 Miss Leslie Handled stakes company when trying two turns for the first time last out, and her two-back score at this trip was really sharp. She's the main danger to the chalk.
#3 Street Lute She's a neck away from a perfect 6-for-6 record, and she should be in line for another brilliant pressing trip with this bunch. She's the one to beat, but I'm not sure she towers over the top choice.
#7 It Can Has earned soft figures while posting a couple of upset victories to open her career, but she hasn't really been hard pressed in either of those scores and may land a piece of this at a big number.
Race Summary Miss Leslie gets Lasix for her 3yo debut, and she would be playable at something like the 3/1 ML price. I'll use her while trying to get It Can into the gimmicks with either of the top two.

Laurel Park - Race #8
Picks Notes
#9 Erawan The main worry here is that he may want a bit more pace to kick at, but he'll get Lasix for the first time, and he has been a reliable finisher over the local footing. 6/1 ML offering would be appealing.
#8 Maythehorsebwithu He impressed in the local debut last out when flashing speed and holding easily in the lane, and he has a real chance to try and run this group off their feet.
#7 Shackqueenking Has done little wrong through four starts, and he just held to land a similar stakes around two turns last out. Quicker tempo here may leave him running from a touch off the pace today.
Race Summary Erawan is capable of races big enough to win this, and he should be a playable enough price after losing to Shackqueenking going two turns last out.
