Free Pick of the Day for Thursday, Apr. 4


Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Thursday, Apr. 4

Santa Anita:
7th race--
#2 HORIZON SKY (5-2)
Mullins-trained colt ran a solid third behind Rosengold in Baffle Stakes when making his U.S. debut over the hillside course a month ago. With that race under his belt and dropping into a a softer allowance, 'Sky looks like a “single” in today's Pick Six (carryover of more than $88,000).

Sunday's Result: Missed exacta box in 1st race.

Live Longshot: MY DIVIDEND (1st race)

ShowVivor: MY CINSATION (3rd race)

Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Mar. 31


Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Sunday, Mar. 31

Santa Anita:
1st race--
Exacta Box 3-5

Let's start the day by boxing the first race exacta, using favorite FARAYYA (8-5) and comebacker CAMRYN KATE (6-1). Farayya has shown ability in two starts, cuts back in distance and switches back to turf. 'Kate has been away since June but has trained in sharp style for French and figures as a pace factor from the bell.

Yesterday's Result: DIAMONDSDIPLOMAT ($4.00) won the 2nd race.

Live Longshot: PLAZARITA (7th race)

ShowVivor: UBELONGTOMEMISSY (2nd race)

Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Saturday, Mar. 30

Santa Anita:
2nd race--
#1 DIAMONDSDIPLOMAT (5-2)
Older gelding comes off a sharp wire-to-wire win over this course when facing $50,000 and actually drops in class to face first-level optional claimers off the Sadler claim. Tab right back in front-running style.

Yesterday's Result: SKI'S COPPER PENNY ran out in 5th.

Live Longshot: CRESTATORRE (9th race)

ShowVivor: ONLY THE GOLD (3rd race)

Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Friday, Mar. 29

Santa Anita:
5th race--
#5 Ski's Copper Penny (8-1)
Let's take a shot with Baltas-trained filly that exits a race that produced three next-out winners. She drops into a claimer, stretches out and goes long on turf, and figures to be a nice price.

Yesterday's Result: SHOWME YOURFRIENDS was scratched from 4th race.

Live Longshot: TRICKSAREFORKIDS (1st race)

***Live Longshot SECRET GENIUS ($14.00) won the 2nd race.

ShowVivor: ONDINE (2nd race)

Bob Ike's Free Pick of the Day for Thursday, Mar. 28

Santa Anita:
4th race--
#2 SHOWME YOURFRIENDS (6-1)
In what might be the best gambling race on the card, let's take a small shot with route-to-sprint angle gelding from McCanna barn. He dueled inside going long last time and seems like the type that might take to the hillside course. He beat turf sprinters one race back at GG, so tab at a square price.

Sunday's Result: KURO finished third in 4th race.

Live Longshot: SECRET GENIUS (2nd race)

***Live Longshot BELLE DE LUNE ($24.60) won the 5th race.

ShowVivor: FLY HIGH (1st race)

Days Survived: 8
