It has not been easy finding winners in succession - or at all - at Santa Anita in the last hour. The $1 pick three ending in the seventh race returned a monster price of $12,329.

It was deserved after wins by Muchos Besos ($47.20) in the fifth race, The Critical Way ($27.20) in the sixth race, and Chromium ($28) in the seventh race. The sequence of winners leaves little chance of someone hitting the pick six this afternoon, even though Majestic Heat (2) is the 1-2 favorite in the upcoming eighth race, essentially turning the bet into a pick five in the eyes of some bettors.
