Daily race-by-race workout information, always a vital tool in the handicapping process, will be available to Santa Anita horse players as part Jeff Siegel's Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies column when racing resumes on opening day, Saturday, Dec. 26 at the Great Race Place.
A part of the XBTV team, Siegel is widely-regarded as the West Coast's most astute veteran handicapper. His column will be accessible at santaanita.com or xpressbet.com every race day morning as a PDF document that can viewed, printed, or downloaded. The Santa Anita Workout Report will highlight recent drills from “In Today” runners and will include commentary, digitally-timed interior fractions, graded analysis and links to the video of the workouts that are housed in the extensive xbtv.com library.
“This new analytic tool will describe and evaluate each listed drill with the written word but, more importantly, it will easily allow the reader to view many of the actual workouts and form his or her own opinions,“ said Siegel, who was the first to publish workout reports back in the 1970s after co-founding Handicapper's Report. “The Santa Anita Workout Report should be an invaluable reference source for the serious player.”
The daily morning tab at Santa Anita often contains a hundred or more officially-timed workouts, especially on weekends. “Because of the sheer volume, it is difficult to record them all,” said Siegel, “but, truthfully, some workouts are benign, simply for maintenance, and are of little consequence to the handicapping process. The XBTV team focuses on those runners that hold the most interest to the horseplayer, such as maidens, horses returning from layoffs, those in gate drills, and stakes performers.”
The Santa Anita Workout Report, along with Siegel's popular Daily Analysis & Wagering Strategies, will be posted no later than 6 a.m. PDT each racing day and often times the evening before to allow horse players sufficient time to incorporate the information into their handicapping.
