BetAmerica’s horse racing pick of the day: Santa Anita (Sept. 25)
Santa Anita. (Breeders' Cup/Todd Buchanan 2014)
Santa Anita's fall meet kicks off Friday, with a 10-race card, including the Eddie D. (G2) and Chillingworth S (G3).
Santa Anita, Race 6: Chillingworth (G3, 6 1/2 furlongs, 6 p.m. ET)
Though seemingly a bit delicate, #2 Qahira (2-1 on the morning line) has won three straight races for trainer Bob Baffert and is undefeated in four starts sprinting on fast tracks.
On Aug. 16, the 4-year-old daughter of Cairo Prince kicked off her 2020 campaign with an easy victory in a 6 1/2-furlong Del Mar allowance, where she all the way to beat next-out stakes winner Proud Emma by three lengths.
Qahira’s impressive performance yielded a 97 Brisnet Speed rating, one of the fastest figures in the Chillingworth field.
There isn’t a ton of speed in the race, so Qahira figures to enjoy a perfect trip, setting or stalking a modest pace. If she improves at all in her second run of the season, she’ll be tough to beat.
A win bet will be our first order of business, but we’ll also play Qahira over #7 Amuse (5-2) in the exacta.
$20 to win on #2 Qahira
$5 exacta: 2 with 7
Total: $25
Good luck!
