Santa Anita's winter meet opens Friday with a trio of graded stakes for sophomores. Champion Shared Belief (Candy Ride {Arg}) takes on a four-horse contingent from the Baffert barn, as well as five others, in the GI Malibu S. Meanwhile, TDN Rising Star Taris (Flatter) headlines a fully loaded renewal of the GI La Brea S. and Heart to Heart (English Channel) takes on 11 rivals in the GII Mathis Brothers Mile. Also, Bill Oppenheim provides a list of four stallions that offer that best value in Kentucky and T.D. Thornton provides the latest on New York's workers' compensation problem. The TDN offices will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas day so our next new edition will be Saturday Dec. 27. Happy Holidays!
