The Santa Anita R8 on June 6th is a mile and 1/8 race this weekend that is a Grade 1, $400,000 race for 3-year-olds and also servs as a prep race for the Kentucky Derby, which was postponed until Sept. 5 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The field in this race is pretty short as usual but the share of the pie might be decent due to the number of people who will be interested. The Favorite in this race is a Baffert horse named Authentic and he will be right at home at this track. He is a deserving favorite being undefeated with the top Beyer’s speed figure at 98. Honor A.P. is the second favorite currently at 5/2. The last race that both of these horses ran in happened to be at the San Filipe at this same track where Authentic coasted to a win with ease by 3 or four lengths. I honestly think that Authentic is the real deal here but I am definitely not sold on Honor A.P. I think this horse has a chance to not hit the board here with the stronger competition. The horse that I will have as my favorite to place in my exacta is Rushie. I like how he won 2 of his last three races and how he is trending up in speed to an 89 Beyer. I also have to throw in an “oh please God” exacta due to the fact that favorites only win 1/3 of the time. to Here are the plays:
