Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields have announced they will partner on a brand new low takeout “Golden Hour Late Pick 4,” effective Saturday, Sept. 19, the opening day of Santa Anita's 18-day Autumn Meet.

The wager, which features a one dollar minimum and a low takeout of 15 percent, will be comprised of the last two races at both Santa Anita and Golden Gate each racing day and will complement the successful “Golden Hour Late Double,” which was instituted by the two tracks this past winter.

“We've had a very encouraging response to the 'Golden Hour Double' and believe our customers will respond well to this new low takeout wager,” said Santa Anita's Aidan Butler, Executive Director, CA Racing Operations, for The Stronach Group. “We've heard feedback from many of our players asking for this type of bet—one that provides a player friendly new wager with a one dollar minimum, capitalizing on the larger competitive fields at the end of the card.

“This is a fun new addition to our betting menu and will drive extra attention to both of our California tracks as the racing action across the country is winding down each day.”

What’s in a Name: Bold Mistress

Literary references are not rare in horse racing, and 2yo winner Bold Mistress (Vronsky–Common Truth) carries a precious such connection, linked to the GOAT (probably) writer Lev Tolstoy. Unhappily married Anna Karenina is in fact the absolutely bold mistress of Count Vronsky in the Russian novelist’s book of the same name.

“Many writers consider ‘Anna Karenina’ the greatest work of literature ever and the author himself called it his first true novel,” states Wikipedia–and only a few years before Tolstoy had written “War and Peace,” which I personally prefer (reading the earlier masterpiece is like being immersed in life, I think).

This flying and head-strong young filly deserves her name and let’s hope that her race beginnings are as promising and luminous as the very famous incipit of “Anna Karenina”: “Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
