Santa Anita’s winter meet gets underway on Monday, and Picks and Ponderings previews all four stakes races on the card!

It’s winter break, so Paul Mazur is back to join in the fun.  I took the pair of Grade I dirt sprints for sophomores: the La Brea and the Malibu.  Paul takes you through the pair of grass stakes: the Mathis Brothers Mile (GII) and the San Simeon Handicap (GIII).

Head over to Picks and Ponderings, read our preview of Monday’s stakes races at Santa Anita, and let us know in the comments what you think!
