Santa Anita Park 🏇🏾 // Fri., April. 25, 2025

Happy Friday &....

National Zucchini Bread Day!

Let’s kick off today by returning to the racetrack at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, CA. We posted our Home Run Line plays earlier today, but those games don’t start until this afternoon, so we need to stay engaged until then. While we have a smaller nine-race card, that doesn’t mean we can’t find value and plenty of winners.

I initially thought there were three stakes races due to a mix-up with the track abbreviations. The track code for Santa Anita is SA, while the track code for Sandown Park in Esher, England, is SAN. After this oversight, I reminded myself to slow down, and I’ll be using today to prepare for tomorrow’s opening day at Churchill Downs. That's right—we’re just one week away from Oaks Day and eight days away from the Derby.

Today’s featured races include several Maiden races alongside some claiming races, with the top purse reaching $61,000 in multiple events. While these races may not seem significant, they offer several opportunities to cash in as we head into the weekend.

The weather today is expected to be cooler than usual, with highs in the mid-60s and partly sunny skies. As of this writing, the track should be fast and the turf firm.

Santa Anita Park, located in Arcadia, California, is one of the most iconic horse racing tracks in the United States. Opened on December 25, 1934, it quickly became a premier venue for thoroughbred racing. The track was developed by a group led by Dr. Charles H. Strub and movie producer Hal Roach. During World War II, Santa Anita was temporarily closed and repurposed as a Japanese American internment camp. After the war, it resumed racing and became home to prestigious events like the Santa Anita Handicap and the Breeders’ Cup. Known for its picturesque setting against the San Gabriel Mountains, Santa Anita remains a cornerstone of American horse racing.
