PLAY OF THE DAY
​
SATURDAY 10/5/24
SANTA ANITA 3 (5:00 ET)
OAK LEAF (G2) 200K, 1M 1/16 DIRT
8 NON COMPLIANT 2-1
3 TENMA 5-2
2 JACK’S MAGIC GIRL 15-1
4 NOONI 3-1
PICK: 8 NON COMPLIANT
Bob Baffert has won this race 12 times (in the last 27 years). He has 4 of the 8 entered in this race and will likely make it 13 wins. JJ Hernandez had options on 3 of Baffert runners (who he’d ridden in the last start) and he stays here. Was a minor upset winner in debut over a 3-5 Glatt 1ster. Notice the lengths in front of 3rd.
VALUE: 2 JACK’S MAGIC GIRL
Was bet in both starts. She ran to the action first time out when she rallied to run away from a MSW group at 5-2. Show finisher was 3rd in the 100k Juvenile Turf next and then crushed two starts later in a MSW. Had a slight stumble and awkward beginning last out but did have some run in the lane. Toss under in the tri’s.
A) 3,8 B) 2,4 C) 5,6 D) 1,7
