[Wandering Eyes]

Jeff Siegel has been named as the new Morning-Line Maker for Santa Anita, replacing Jon White who announced his retirement earlier this week. In a release sent Friday afternoon, Santa Anita noted that Siegel will begin the positive effective with the beginning of the Autumn meet, Sept. 27.

“Jeff is universally respected by his peers, be them horseplayers, horsemen, or his fellow analysts,” said Santa Anita's Senior Vice President and General Manager Nate Newby. ” We are excited that Jeff will be expanding his role at Santa Anita in taking on this important role.”

Siegel has been a long-time member of the Santa Anita television production community including working with HRTV and XBTV.

“I've enjoyed working with Santa Anita in various capacities for nearly 30 years, but this will be my first as an official price maker and I'm really looking forward to embracing the responsibility associated with the position,” said Siegel. “I'll do my best to produce an accurate and balanced morning line that can be referenced with confidence by my fellow horseplayers.”
