We look at the final Superfecta Sunday of the year at magnificent Santa Anita.
Santa Anita Race 8 {Robert J. Frankel~G3~1 1/8 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A field of nine gracious ladies line up this tribute to the great Southern California trainer. Contrary to what the odds gods have conjured up for the morning line, this one is a bugger of a handicapping challenge. Hopefully the weather holds favorably and this one stays on the TURF. Any one of the gals could win it. There is enough of the forwardly placed to keep the pace sharp. With the clear majority of the horses coming off a short layoff, it could come down to last out speed plus works. Let's give our final effort of the year to plot a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#8 More Chocolate (Gomez / Sadler) could surprise with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two strengthening workouts. She has the tactical speed to stay close to the pace and swoop on through in the stretch. She is our bronze horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#2 Halo Dolly (Talamo / Hollendorfer) will challenge with the fourth highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four superb workouts which include two bullets. She can be expected to be part of the forwardly placed group.
#9 Tiz Flirtatious (Bejarano / M. Jones) should be a top contender with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression covering her three race career, and three endurance workouts. She will come closing fast with a solid pace.
#3 Qaraaba [GB] (Leparoux / Callaghan) will enjoin the battle with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and three robust workouts. She should be prepped for a solid closing.
10 CENT Superfecta Box ($2.40)

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday with family and friends.
To begin our horse racing weekend we start with a splendid allowance warm-up filled to the brim with talented horses.
Penn National Race 4 {6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Allowance}
A great group of hard knocking horses will go to post in this allowance feature. Large fields such as this make for potentially rewarding 10 CENT Superfecta payouts. This field is equally matched by virtue of their closely aligned speed numbers at this sprint distance. The vast majority of the group will be forwardly placed leaving the race open for a tracker to shine on through. It should be a very good race.
#4 Cortado (Cora / Levine) has a slight edge with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race porgression, and three solid peaking workouts. He should be fresh coming off a modest layoff. This guy could benefit from his tracking/closing running style.
$2 SHOW.
#8 New Yawker (Whitney / Jacobson) will challenge with the highest last out speed number and a three race progression. He ships in from Aqueduct for this one. This guy also holds the second highest speed number at the distance. His tracking/closing running style should help his cause.
$2 SHOW.
Other Wagering Interests
#6 Dogwoods Barto (A. Castellano / Ness) should be a contender with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and one stout workout. He has the tactical speed to stay close and move swiftly through the stretch.
#10 Miami Mako (McCarthy / Pregman) could be in the mix after a extended layoff. He holds a win over this track and has posted the third highest overall speed number. His pressing attack coupled with two strong peaking workouts should earn him respect.
#9 Triple A Rating (Rodriguez / Kreiser) should be in the hunt with the fourth highest last out speed number. He holds the highest speed number of the field, at the distance and the second highest over the Penn National track. He is another with a pressing style that could set him up favorably.
10 CENT Superfecta
#4 Cortado / #8 New Yawker / #6 Dogwoods Barto / #10 Miami Mako, #9 Triple A Rating.

Superfecta Sunday at Turf Paradise
On this Sunday we go to the "Valley of the Sun" for some nice Turf action.
Turf Paradise Race 8 {7 1/2 Furlongs~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A field of ten will line up for this grass allowance feature. There is sufficient speed to keep the pace going. After the three most outstanding horses in this group, it is a tough one to figure out. Let's try to forge a winning 10 CENT Superfecta box ticket.
#9 Collating Lady (Franco / Silva) looks dominating among this field with the second highest last out speed number off a route and one strong workout. She has raced well at both Hollywood Park and Santa Anita earlier this year. She should be able to take advantage of the pace with her tracking and closing running style.
#4 Triveni [FR] (Carreno / S. Callaghan) could be well spotted for this race with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and two robust, peaking workouts. This French bred filly also has the highest speed number at the distance. She is our Bronze Horseshoe selection.
$2 SHOW.
#6 Laura Beasley (Ochoa / McFarlane) should be in the mix with a couple of decent last out speed numbers and one good workout. She holds the third best speed number at the distance along with a 57% in the money record. Her tracking/closing style will benefit her today.
#1 Serious Stuff (Bridges / McFarlane) could have the speed to hold on with the third highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one bullet workout. She could surprise.
