Santa Anita Opening Day (12/26) Featuring Malibu: Taiba Returns

Taiba returns for the opening day of the Classic Meet at Santa Anita.

Blinkov (2-1) is the top selection for the Santa Anita Park's race 1. Summer (3-2) has consistent pace figures and is a major player in the race. Handy Dandy (5-5) runs evenly and looks to get a fair pace scenario. One More Bid (10-3) makes sense on speed figures.

#2 PURIFIED (2-1) is the top pick. #6 PALAGIO (3-2) appears to be a major player in this race. BLETCHLEY PARK (7- 2) has to respect the combination of Baffert and Hernandez. MIGRATION (6- 1) probably best to put underneath on most tickets.
