2/7: Santa Anita (Late P4)

[Kasept]

Back in brutally cold New York for the week, and it convinces me that the Florida gig ain't so awful... The weather frosted out Philly Park looks for Tuesday, and fear of cancellation shied me from AQU for Wednesday, so Santa Anita it is Wednesday!

Got lucky for readers Saturday at Gulfstream with a $400 P4 play made possible by the outrageous 100-1+ Hal's My Hope in the nightcap. Good thing too, as anyone who caught it wouldn't have been happy with a tiny payout for any of the other inclusions after Invasor, Naissance Royale and Nobiz chalked out the first three quarters of the quad! Glad some people caught it...
