Pick for Sunday February 4, 2024:



Las Virgenes Stakes
1 Mile | Fillies | 3 Year Olds | G3 STAKES | PURSE: $100,000


Track: Santa Anita Park
Race: 7

Horse: Kinza (ML 6-5)


Field (in post position order):

1. Great Forty Eight (ML 30-1)
2. Nothing Like You (ML 6-1)
3. Kinza (ML 6-5)
4. She's a Tempest (ML 6-1)
5. Grand Slam Smile (ML 8-1)
6. Kopion (ML 7-5)



Bet Kinza (ML 6-5) to win.

Yes, that is right: WIN.

Put some considerable amount of money on Kinza to win to make it worthwhile and justified going to the racetrack.

I expect Kinza to win the Las Virgenes Stakes on this Sunday February 4, 2024.

She is the West Coast's leading 3yo filly from now on going forward for the rest of this year.

I don't see anybody is going to challenge her dominance status as the West Coast's leading 3yo filly this year.

I know Tamara is recovering from a bone surgery and she won't be the same when she comes back.

This leaves Kinza as the dominance 3yo filly division in the west for 2024.

This 3yo filly reminds me of another superstar filly named Gamine (also trained by Bob Baffert) a few years ago when she dominated her division in her 3yo year.

Kinza, while not there yet, will be a force to be reckoned with in 2024 and perhaps beyond as well.


In this race she is towering over the field.

This is the easiest money you'll ever going to get on the card at Santa Anita Park or at any other racetracks on this Sunday February 4, 2024.

Kinza's final odd will most likely be right around 3/5 favorite.

Take this easy money 6/5 (or at whatever the price is -- 3/5 is my guess) and leave the racetrack as a winner.
