Anderson has enjoyed a more extraordinary October than most.
In the past three weeks, the trainer has got married to Steph, and his 3yr-old pacer Spirit Of St Louis confirmed his status as a rising southern star with a big win at Forbury Park.
The excitement could continue for Anderson - albeit on a smaller scale - if Rockin Rod and With The Stars win today.
Both pacers ran into tricky spots in their last starts at Forbury Park.
Rockin Rod and driver Matthew Williamson found themselves in a traffic jam before running on strongly behind the talented Sweet Mary. Once in the clear, Rockin Rod made good ground to get within three lengths of the winner at the finish.
Rockin Rod reverts from a mobile to a 2600m standing-start race today, which Anderson hopes will benefit the 5yr-old
''Going back to the stand helps.
''He is well, he has eaten up after his last run and his coat's good and he is bouncing around, so he should be a pretty good chance.''
With The Stars lobbed into a good spot in her last start at Forbury Park for much of the race. But things turned pear-shaped when she was locked in a pocket from the 500m to the 175m mark.
''She would have won the other day if she had got the right run,'' Anderson said.
With The Stars reverts from standing-start racing to a 2000m mobile race today. That should give the 5yr-old every opportunity to notch what has so far been an elusive maiden win.
''This looks like her race. We have been aiming her at a race like this all along.''
Anderson will start new stable star Spirit Of St Louis on Tuapeka Cup day at Forbury Park on Sunday.
Spirit Of St Louis should strip in even better order than he was for his outstanding win at the track last week as that run was his first in several weeks.
Fellow beach trainers Greg and Nina Hope also start a strong team at today's meeting.
Talented trotter Baxter returns to racing after a short, but impressive, 3yr-old stint.
The now 4yr-old impressed when winning and then placing in the Hambletonian behind Lotamuscle before going to the paddock after failing to fire in a subsequent start.
''He is a nice horse. We lined him up in a Sires Stakes race after he ran third in the Hambletonian and he was just a bit disappointing,'' driver Ben Hope, son of the trainers, said.
''So he went to the paddock. He seems to have come back really well.''
Baxter goes into race 3 having had just one quiet trial in preparation for his return as a 4yr-old.
The Hope stable also starts Crazy In Love (race 1), Melody Pond (race 2), Rockntommy Rulz (race 3) and Panda Girl (race 4) today.
