SANTA ANITA

POST-SCRATCHES

3rd: MSW, 3yo, 8.5f (P3, DD)

Included this to remind all that Baffert’s West Coast returns today off debut where only stablemate Bronze Age topped him. Race has been the fastest 1m event of the meet and Flatter colt has trained forwardly out of the debut. Hollendorfer’s Honor and Courage is pretty nice, but looks like a win-shy type..

Most Likely: #5 West Coast 1-2 WON ($2.10)
Next Best: #2 Honor and Courage SCR
