Santa Anita Park Pick of the Day: Race 8 Grade I La Brea Stakes

Indian Blessing is the 8/5 chalk in tis race. Who can argue with that? She almost wired the Breeders' Cup Filly Sprint in her last and could try and steal it this time around as well.

Wait a sec...she can't. Want to know why? Because the filly that I chose to win the Breeders' Cup Filly Sprint, the beautifully fast Indyanne, is in this race.

Indyanne is one of the fastest horses I've ever seen in my life. She puts Indian Blessing in a serious pickle here. If Indian Blessing goes with her, then forget it, Indyanne will run her into the ground. If Indian Blessing doesn't go with here, there isn't any other speed to take Indyanne on.

I'm betting Indyanne to win and hoping that her 5 to 1 odds stay right around there.
