The US horse racing calendar is galloping to a close, but there is still much to play for in the last race meets of the year.
Taking place on the 26th of December is the race that typically lights up the festive period, the Malibu Stakes. We take a look at who will snatch the Boxing Day bragging rights this time around.
His most recent win was notched up just last year by Omaha Beach, who kicked sand in the face of the rest of the field. There is no doubt that as racing tipsters and experts begin to give their free picks and insightful tips, that a Richard Mandella trained horse will be hotly backed to bring home the proverbial bacon once again.
Another trainer to keep an eye on is Bob Baffert, whose horses always run well at Santa Anita Park.
Smith has won the race back-to-back in 2018 and 2019 and will be looking to do the hattrick in 2020. Few will bet against him to do so, even though he was strangely absent from the Breeders' Cup line-up this year.
So, make sure to keep track of which horses looked to be at the top of their game in Kentucky, and who may even have more to give once they are back on their home turf, or dirt, for this grade 1 race.
Good luck with your picks!
