Santa Anita Horse Racing Picks for Saturday 6/3/23

The rebranded spring portion of the Santa Anita six-month racing season started on Friday, April 21 with a new moniker – the “Hollywood Meet."

There are 9 races on Saturday's card at "The Great Race Place", including a Grade 2. Post time is at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. local time.

As always, check the program for scratches and changes and monitor the weather and track conditions.

(I will reference Equibase's Speed Figure in selected races, which tells you how fast a horse has been running in each of its races after adjusting for track, distances, and conditions).

Race 3 is a Starter Optional Claimer for older horses at 6 1/2 furlongs on the turf. Just 5 runners, and numberFire projects low payoff potential with the favorite Jetovator (8/5) expected to win. Guaranteed Tip Sheet rates him tops along with Mucho Del Oro (9/5), who is 0-for-2 this year but won three straight races last year with triple-digit speed figures. Jetovator loves this track with five wins, and he's in better current form with a win and runner-up finish this year.

2. Nang Singha and Miss Joannie, Race 4

FanDuel Racing Odds: 3/1 and 5/2
