Your Saturday Stakes Sweep: Jan. 1, 2011

This is the afterthoughts.

Some stakes recommendations appear on the day’s Pick of the Day page.

Otherwise, some West Coast issues to discuss. At Golden Gate, the third is the Calif. Oaks, and #3 Cathy’s Crunches seems too good.

Likewise at Santa Anita in the third, the Robert J. Frankel (R.I.P.) Stakes, where #5 Harmonious is prohibitive.

Sorry, but that’s the way the bee bumbles with today’s stakes. Perhaps tomorrow will be kinder to the upsetters.
