Santa Anita Picks & Predictions — June 13, 2026

Hot Day Girl (3) rates second overall at 57.50 — nearly identical to First Light — and goes at 5/2, making this a razor-thin deficit at a slightly better price. Hector Isaac Berrios rides for Carla Gaines, meaning the same barn saddles both our top two picks, which is a meaningful signal of stable confidence in this race. Use her in exacta boxes with First Light; if the barn splits the vote, she could easily be the one that gets up.

Have Style (2) rounds out a tight top three with a 56.67 rating and a 3/1 morning line — she's nearly in a dead heat with the top two on paper. Antonio C. Garcia trains, and Armando Ayuso is a capable pilot in these spots. In a maiden turf mile where early pace can be slow and closers can swoop late, Have Style's profile as a potential stalker makes her worth including in trifecta tickets at a fair price.

Bessie Coleman (7) rates second in the field at 78.73 and opens at an attractive 9/2 morning line, giving her real place value. Emisael Jaramillo takes the mount for Steven Miyadi, and her 18% career win rate suggests she competes honestly at this class level. She matches the highest average speed figure in the race at 55, and if Clubhouse Cutie gets involved in any pace pressure, Bessie Coleman is perfectly positioned to run past tired horses late.

Dorie Miller (1) is the morning-line favorite at 7/5 — the public will back her — but our ratings put her third in the field at 69.69, making her a show horse rather than a win bet at short odds. Antonio Fresu rides for Leonard Powell, and her 9% career win rate is notably low for a favorite at this level. Use her third in the trifecta; she'll likely hit the board but the odds make her a tough win bet.

Grandisimo (3) rates second at 84.90 and opens at 9/2, making him the value play in this race if you think the top two contenders will fight each other into the stretch. Ricardo Gonzalez rides for Andy Mathis, and the 20% career win rate is the best among our top three picks here. If Mici's Express gets pressured early and flattens, Grandisimo has the rating and the pace profile to swoop past.

Ballyhooligan (6) checks in third on our sheet at 71.87 and owns a 22% career win rate — one of the stronger numbers in the field. Ali Husain rides for George Papaprodromou, a trainer who knows how to prepare horses for these middle-distance dirt routes. At 7/2, Ballyhooligan could easily be bet down further at post time, but her solid rating and respectable win percentage make her a safe show anchor in trifecta plays.

Divisible By (7) is the morning-line favorite at 7/5 despite rating second in the field at 64.15 — the public clearly sees something here. Joel Rosario aboard for Hall of Fame trainer Neil D. Drysdale is an intimidating combination, and his average speed figure of 55 leads the field. He makes perfect sense as the place horse; Rosario will have him in the right spot, and if Lorenzo Bernini has any trouble, Divisible By is the logical beneficiary.

Raging Inferno (1) sits third in the ratings at 51.73 and opens at a playable 6/1 in a race where the top two are fairly well-established. Kyle Frey rides for Dan Blacker, and while his rating trails the top two significantly, in a maiden claiming route on the turf there's always a chance for a pace collapse that benefits a live longshot. Include him in trifecta tickets as an affordable show option.

Thirsty Caitlin (4) rates second at 56.67 behind our top pick and goes at 3/1, giving her legitimate place value as part of an exacta or trifecta. Armando Aguilar rides for Edwin G. Alvarez, and in a sprint full of first-timers, the right trip from a clean gate break can make all the difference. She's a natural play underneath I'm Smoken Hot.

Sauced Up (2) rates third in the field at 55.00 and opens at 4/1 — a fair price for a maiden debut sprinter with strong connections. Alfredo L. Bautista rides for Felix Rondan, and as the third of three closely clustered horses at the top of our sheet, she's worth including in trifecta tickets. In a race with no speed figures available, don't go too deep into the field — stick with the top three on ratings.

Anmer Hall (8) is a sneaky-good play at 8/1 morning line with a 78.54 TrackWiz rating and a 28% career win rate — both numbers are elite for a horse going off at that price. Antonio Fresu rides for Peter Eurton, and this horse brings the second-best average speed figure in the race at 55. In a big field where pace can get messy, a horse rated this closely to the top pick at nearly double the odds is exactly the kind of place value we look for.

First Peace (4) rates third at 78.23 with a 31% career win rate — right up there with Freedom's Not Free — and goes at 7/2 for trainer Mark Glatt, who also saddles our win pick. Kazushi Kimura rides, and First Peace's average speed figure of 58 is tied for the best in the entire field. He's arguably the most talented horse on pure speed figures, and if the pace sets up to allow a quick turnaround, he could easily leapfrog our win pick.

Lady Gambita (5) rates second at 73.27 and opens at a very playable 6/1 — real value for a horse with a 20% career win rate and Joel Rosario in the irons. Trained by O.J. Jauregui, who also saddles Tiny Prancer in this race, Lady Gambita's 55 average speed figure is among the best in the field. If Crazy Cami's connections have been pointing at this spot but the horse has a history of flattening late, Lady Gambita is perfectly poised to collect a place check.

Surfin the Coast (6) catches the eye with a 100% career win rate — meaning she has won every race she has finished — and goes at 7/2 for Jeff Mullins, a trainer who moves horses confidently when they're ready. Kyle Frey rides, and while the 55.83 rating ranks third in the field, that unbeaten record in career starts is a stat that demands attention. At 7/2, she's a legitimate show anchor and a dangerous dark horse in the win slot if Crazy Cami underperforms.

Zalamo (8) rates second in the field at 66.74 and opens at 7/2 — nearly identical odds to Sabertooth, which is interesting given a 14-point ratings deficit. Hector Isaac Berrios rides for George Papaprodromou, and the 55 average speed figure leads the entire field, suggesting raw ability is there. The 6% career win rate is the concern, but a horse with that kind of speed figure and a top pilot fits perfectly as a place play in a mile-and-an-eighth turf route.

None Above the Law (3) rounds out our show picks at 66.55 rating — nearly identical to Zalamo — and opens at 6/1 with Juan J. Hernandez riding for Peter Miller. His average speed figure of 55 ties Zalamo for best in the field, and at 6/1 he represents a slight overlay compared to Zalamo at the same ratings level. Include him in trifecta tickets as a show option; in a field this competitive, a horse with this speed figure at 6/1 is worth spreading to.

Mo' Em Down (4) rates second at 80.07 with an elite 40% career win rate — the best strike rate among our top picks in this race. Joel Rosario rides for Peter Miller, and the 56 average speed figure is tied for best in the field. At 6/1 morning line, Mo' Em Down could easily be the best value bet in the race; a horse with a 40% win rate and a top jockey going off at 6/1 in a stakes deserves serious consideration.

Marjoram (7) rates third at 77.02 and brings a stunning 66% career win rate — two wins in every three career starts is elite by any measure. Emisael Jaramillo rides for Michael W. McCarthy, and the 56 average speed figure is tied for top in the field. At 3/1 morning line she's fairly priced, and with that win rate she's clearly got the class for stakes company. Include her in all exotics as a show horse who could easily upset at a fair price.

Sissy Girl (4) rates second at 53.33 and opens at 5/1 for trainer Paul G. Aguirre with Armando Aguilar in the irons. She has no published average speed figure, which adds uncertainty, but her overall TrackWiz profile sits just below Forza Palermo and comfortably above most of this field. At 5/1 she's an appealing exacta partner — use the 11-4 combo as your primary exacta play.

Anti Slapp (5) rounds out the show picks at 51.67 rating with an average speed figure of 56 — the highest in the entire field among horses with published figures. Antonio Fresu rides for Jeff Bonde, and while Anti Slapp's overall rating trails the top two, that 56 speed figure is a meaningful data point in a race full of unknown quantities. At 6/1, she's worth including on the bottom of trifectas as a live longshot who could outrun her rating on the right pace setup.
