Day 8: King Glorious Stakes



After a gusty and game performance by Take Charge Brandi in the Starlet on Saturday, we now look forward to another 2-year-old event: The King Glorious.

Last year's edition was won by California Chrome who went on to have a 2014 campaign for the ages. Those are some tough shoes to fill.

The undefeated Acceptance has been listed as the 6-to-5 morning line favorite after a pair of good looking wins at Santa Anita Park and will now stretch out to a mile distance for the first time. His wins have been visually impressive and will by tough to beat if he keeps improving.

Today's Best Bet
Race 5
#8 Vegas Bound
Morning Line Odds: 5-1
Has been off since March when running fourth against in a field of five over the Tapeta at Golden Gate Fields. She returns to the surface of her best performance (dirt) and has a steady workout schedule leading up to this race. The outside post should give her clear running space leading into the turn and has enough speed to be close to the pace.

Selections:

Race 1:  5-3-2
Race 2:  8-9-3
Race 3:  4-2-3
Race 4:  6-8-4
Race 5:  8-3-2
Race 6:  6-5-2
Race 7:  1-9-2
Race 8:  3-4-1
Race 9:  8-4-10
