Our free pick will come from the Santa Anita Derby to be run at Santa Anita on Saturday. This is the big one for three year olds as the winner is certain to be headed to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Derby. The Santa Anita Derby will be contested at 1 1/8th of a mile on the main synthetic surface. With our free pick we will play on #4 Sidneys Candy to win. The Santa Anita Derby is scheduled as the 6th race on the Santa Anita card on Saturday with a post time of 5:36PM Eastern Time and you can watch it on TVG.
Sidneys Candy will be ridden by Joe Talamo and is trained by John Sadler. This three year old has won two straight at the Great Race Place and is coming off an excellent stretch run to win the Grade 2 San Felipe back on March 13th in his prep for this one. He kicked by Caracortado in the stretch for the win. Prior to that it was a win by 4 ¼ lengths in the Grade 2 San Vicente back on February 15th. Sidneys Candy has trained well for this one.
