Saturday plays at Oak Tree
I have my eyes on a few horses racing Saturday during Oak Tree at Santa Anita.
2nd -- Margaritalosflores loves this race track and Jon Court stays aboard. I'll bet her at 3-1 or more.
3rd -- Champagne Tuxedo will go off at huge odds, but I believe he's worth a small across-the-board bet. Matt Garcia, who's booted home his share of long shots, has the mount.
6th -- Ghost Actor, for trainer Steve Knapp, drops a peg and gets the services of the underrated Court. He's won 9 of 28 lifetime. I need 3-1 or higher to bet him. I'll also bet a two-horse exacta box -- Ghost Actor and Hotel Hall.
9th -- I'm hoping that Opimian sends me home a winner in the nightcap. Gryder gets the call on a 3-year-old gelding who was a fast-closing third, beaten only 1 1/4 lengths, in his last try at six furlongs. I'll bet him at 4-1 or higher.
