With our free pick from horse racing on Saturday we will select from the San Simeon Handicap to be run at Santa Anita. It will be a 6-½ furlong event on the downhill turf course for four year olds and upward in this Grade 3 event. With our free pick we will play on #3 Ever A Friend to win. The San Simeon Handicap is scheduled as race 9 at Santa Anita with a post time of 7:38PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TVG.
Ever A Friend will be ridden by Tyler Baze and is trained by Mike Mitchell. This seven year old shortens to 6 ½ furlongs after a 6th place finish by 2 ½ lengths in his return from a layoff as he faced Grade 1 company. Ever A Friend has three wins in four races at Santa Anita. He has 1 win and 2 seconds in his past four Grade 1 efforts. Mitchell has been the hot trainer with 5 wins in his past 13 mounts. Ever A Friend has produced good works leading up to this Grade 3 event as he makes his second start off the layoff.
