The $400,000 San Felipe (G2), Santa Anita – Race 6

The San Felipe is a [50-20-15-10-5] points qualifier on the road to the Kentucky Derby. Trainer Tim Yakteen has five horses in the field with four that were just transferred from Bob Baffert and one that was with him throughout his career. (3) Practical Move is the horse that Yakteen trained from his maiden races to his victory in the Los Alamitos Futurity (G2) over three horses from the Baffert barn. He has been off since that December win from a stalking position and should get the right set up in the San Felipe with a fast pace expected. (8) Geaux Rocket Ride was a winner of his debut race at Santa Anita at the end of January while racing on the lead and winning by almost six-lengths. Richard Mandella brings him back in an ambitious spot and he would only do that knowing that this horse can compete. (7) Hejazi was purchased for $3.5 million as a 2-year-old and finally broke his maiden in his fourth try in January after running third in the American Pharoah (G1). (2) National Treasure won his first start in September at Del Mar and then hit the board in three Grade 1 races behind three talented horses in Cave Rock, Forte, and Reincarnate. Betting strategy:  Exacta key box: 3 with 1, 2, 7, 8.  Trifecta box: 2, 3, 7, 8
