1/1: Santa Anita ($123k C/O)
 

Warm wishes for a very Happy, Healthy New Year to ATR listeners and Derby Trailers! Year ended with a flourish of action from New York to Florida to California Saturday with some wild swings of hits and misses. Hope you had a fun finish to '11 and are ready to start 2012 off with another good set of cards at AQU, GP and SA. Arcadia is the focus after waking up late and with a $123k P6 carryover available on a harrowing sextet. Note that Aqueduct, Gulfstream and Santa Anita run on the quasi-holiday Monday and ATR returns live from the seasonal break at 9a ET!

Jeff Siegel's SA Analysis

Brad Free's DRF Analysis

Is Dick Mandella as classy as he always seems?

Pretty much.

Kev, I met him during the '04 BC (Pleasantly Perfect) and he was pure class. Matz plays on the same team. They're easy to root for.

I tell ya...people can talk about Bejerano and Rosario all they want, I will still take Gomez over them both, 8 days a week. IMO, he is miles better than them both.

what happened to the SA picks?

Sorry.. Was editing on Tina's tablet and it erased stuff!
