Well, it's February, and even though the weather outside isn't exactly hot, racing is really starting to heat up--especially for 3-year-olds. There is solid stakes action from Santa Anita, Gulfstream, Aqueduct, and Oaklawn on the calendar, so let's take a look at some of the major races.
Robert B. Lewis, Santa AnitaA showdown between Hollywood Prevue winner American Lion and the highly-regarded Tiz Chrome
Las Virgenes, Santa AnitaNo way I can pick against Blind Luck, who is probably the best 3YO filly in the nation right now and has two very good runs over this strip.
Whirlaway, AqueductI love trying to beat favorites, but Quality Road is another one I just can't play against.
