Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

Call it beginner’s luck, if you must, but it may have been sheer guesswork. Five winners and two seconds led to a very profitable opening day. Scores included the daily double, a nice quinella and a $77.80 exacta.

You could have picked the same winners. They included three dead-fit runners from other tracks and a pair of horses for the course.

Today’s card includes a Santa Anita stakes and twin-trifecta races jammed with contenders. Don’t be stunned if Rc Midnite Cruiser wakes up in the seventh.

Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $20 win on BENNYSCOUSIN JENNY. Split any winnings between SASH GANG and ELTTAES CHILD.

THIRD: Wheel SASH GANG in $5 exacta ($25).

FOURTH: Wheel ELTTAES CHILD in $5 quinella ($30).

FIFTH: $10 win on CLEVER PURSUIT.

SEVENTH: Wheel A CHANCE TO KNIGHT and RC MIDNITE CRUISER both ways in the $2 trifecta ($24).

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Friday’s result: Won $201.80.

Present bankroll: $2,201.80.
