Sports betting fans should get their bankrolls ready because there are three graded stakes races on the Santa Anita Park card. \u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One of the races, the Grade II San Fernando Stakes, happens to be our Saturday pick of the day.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not always easy for online racebook fans to find overlays in stakes races but in the San Fernando on Saturday there happens to be a horse that a lot of online racebook fans had better not forget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s get to Saturday\u2019s pick of the day!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Santa Anita Park &#8211; &#8211; Race 8<\/strong><br \/>\nGrade II San Fernando Stakes<br \/>\n$150,000<br \/>\nFor Four Year Olds<br \/>\n1 1\/16th miles on Pro-Ride<\/p>\n<p><strong>Muny &#8211; &#8211; 4\/1 fair online betting odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some online racebook fans might feel that Muny is strictly a turf horse after his victory in the Oak Tree Derby and then his 5th place finish in the Hollywood Derby.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/mid\/1570\/racebook\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 1px solid #ffffff;\" title=\"Betus Horses\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportsimagestore.com\/showbanner.asp?affid=11892&amp;banid=1570\" alt=\"Santa Anita Free Picks\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But that would be a big mistake because this fella broke his maiden on the Del Mar Polytrack. Not only that but he has exceptional speed in a race that\u2019s lacking that quality. He\u2019s the gate to wire threat and should be a serious player in this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cherokee Artist &#8211; &#8211; 4\/1 fair online betting odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The only reason I don\u2019t like Cherokee Artist as much as Muny in this race is because of the expected pace scenario. Cherokee Artist has the ability to close into slow fractions but he\u2019s coming off of his first victory since his maiden score. He does have all sorts of ability and could easily win this, but he might need a race after the lay off. At 4 to 1, though, he\u2019s definitely worth a long look.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wishful Tomcat &#8211; &#8211; 6\/1 fair online betting odds<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a feeling that online racebook fans are going to bet down this son of Tactical Cat because he gets Joel Rosario to guide him around the Pro-Ride surface and he\u2019s running first time for Bobby Frankel. He\u2019s a definite player if he\u2019s good and ready but he\u2019s coming off of a slight layoff and he likes to run up front. This guy has never seen speed like Muny\u2019s. Will he cave?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wagering Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m betting Muny to win and place at online odds of 4 to 1 or higher. I will also use in an exacta and trifecta box with Wishful Tomcat and Cherokee Artist.<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National horse racing handicappers will attempt to pad their bankrolls and yours with this weekly column.
