All-
Due to a family emergency I will not have any DEL MAR selections listed until Friday. I thought about trying to put up a selection Wednesday and Thursday but realized my mind needs to be 100% with my family. I'll be fresh and ready for a BIG weekend at DEL MAR come Friday.
Thank you all for your support and understanding
Good Luck,
JimmyQ

Sunday at DEL MAR- QRACING 3 Pack
It's been a tough go of things thus far at DEL MAR but in the game of RACING you never know when the tide may turn, so you just keep doing your homework and plugging away. Today, I have a 3 pack for the Sunday Card
RACE 3
Mile and an Eighth
Clm 12,500
#2 Welcome Home Ryan (5-1)
Blinkers added today which should ensure he is part of the early pace for trainer Jeff Mullins and looks to fire a much improved effort in his second time out of this barn
RACE 4
1 MILE
SF OC20k/N1X
#9 Casey's Clem (12-1)
2nd time Blinkers today running at this same level and in my opinion a rider upgrade from Gutierrez to Trujillo. Out of a Papa Clem sire who has shown success over the synthetic surfaces so looking for him to like the Del Mar surface
RACE 10
6.5 Furlongs
SF Md 50,000
#11 Q'Viva (7-2)
With a name like this how can QRACING not be all over this horse. All jokes aside, horse is out of the Tribal Rule sire who absolutely loves synthetic surfaces and she drops in for her easiest spot today and she has been improving. Stretch out and adding Bejarano are all this horse may need to graduate.
All the best and enjoy the races

Saturday at DEL MAR and The QRacing Play of the Day
RACE 10
6.5 Furlongs
Clm 16,000 N2L
Purse $24,000
#3 The Tom Squad (8-1)
Should sit just off a hot pace up front but close enough that he won't be left with the impossible to do. I think he should really take to the synthetic surface as well. Both factors make him a live horse for me today and the QRacing Play of the Day.
Good Luck,

Thursday at DEL MAR- July 24, 2014 QRACING PLAY OF THE DAY
Been a rough start to the DEL MAR meet which I'll get into greater detail tomorrow but no time to over analyze things and you have to keep firing away with confidence.
RACE 6
1 Mile
Clm 16,000
Purse $24,000
For Three Year Olds and Upward Which Have Never Won Two Races
#9 Counting Days (7-2)
Jockey Victor Espinoza finally broke thru yesterday and got out of his little slump and hopefully he can do the same for QRACING on this horse today. This 4 year old gelding has been off since the end of April but does have a series of consistent works leading up to his return to the races. He does appear to run well when fresh. With the drop, he gets a group today that he fits well with and it will be interesting to see where Espinoza places him in the race. It does appear he has some tactical speed and based on the way the main track is playing you don't want to drop back too far. There are enough good signals to make this the QRACING PLAY OF THE DAY
Good Luck,

Wednesday at DEL MAR- July 23, 2014 QRACING PLAY OF THE DAY
Race 7
6.5 Furlongs
Purse $77,000
OC 40k/N1X
#8 Kate's Event (6-1)
I think we could see some money pour in on the Baffert horse, the #11, but I'm going to go with a horse who I think is spotted here to win a race. Kate's Event and his connections are racing for a share of a lucrative $77,000 purse today. Ted West claimed this horse 5 weeks ago for $62,000 and has since put 3 maintenance drill into this 7 year old gelding. West has not had much success of late, so this in my opinion is an aggressive drop by the connections on their initial investment to win. If the horse is taken today, they'll get back the original $40,000 of that investment, and if they win they'll also get 60% of the purse. (Another $46,200 for a total of $86,200) This is well worth the aggressive spotting of Kate's Event.
Good Luck,

Sunday at DEL MAR- July 20, 2014 QRacing PLAYS OF THE DAY
Two PLAYS for Today out at DEL MAR
RACE 9
6 Furlongs
Filly- OC 40k/N1X
Three Years Old and Upward
#9 Provenance
Lots of upside here for me with this 4 year old filly trained by Mike Puype. Solid effort last out being beaten by a nose down the hill at Santa Anita. I think the return to the synthetic surface is a PLUS for this horse and she'll move forward on it. A couple solid works since the last effort and Tyler Baze stays aboard. If she can improve slightly today, then she has a great shot to find herself on top for win honors. She caught my eye and is the first of two QRacing PLAYS OF THE DAY
RACE 11
7 Furlongs
Md 20,000
Purse $25,000
Maidens, Three Years Old and Upward
#9 Play Maker (6-1)
This field is made up of a few droppers who today are running for career low price tags. I'm going to stick with a horse who ran at this level last time out and the looks like he is starting to figure out what the game is all about. This 4 year old gelding for the George Papaprodromou barn has recently been doing his best running late. Last time at Santa Anita, he closed over 3 lengths on the top two finishers in the lane which isn't an easy task over that surface. There isn't a ton of speed in here today, so it's quite possible that Jockey Alonso Quinonez will have this one placed closer to the pace like his start last March at Santa Anita. That day, he was sitting only a length or so off of pretty quick fractions and posted a career best beyer against a much saltier group. Looking for Alonso Q to get QRacing to the winner's circle in the second QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY.
Best of Luck and Enjoy the Races,

Saturday at DEL MAR- July 19, 2014 QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY
RACE 11
1 MILE (TURF)
Filly- MSW
Three Years Old and Upward
#9 Sweet as a Rose (9-2)
We are going to have to wait the entire card for the QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY but I think it's going to be worth it. I'm not going to get into great detail other than to say I've been waiting for this horse to run and it will be my Largest Wager thus far at the DEL MAR meet.
Good Luck,

Friday at DEL MAR- July 18, 2014 QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY
RACE 3
1 1/16 MILES (TURF)
State-bred OC 20k/N1X
Three Years Old and Upward
#2 Frensham (15-1)
He exits a very productive turf stakes race from June 21st at Santa Anita where the second and third place finishers both came back to run BIG yesterday and finish second and third respectively in the Oceanside Stakes. Many could argue Frensham wasn't much of a factor in that Santa Anita race when he finished last of 9 and beaten over 15 lengths. I'd actually argue that he was for 2/3 of that race until they turned for home and he basically ran up the backside of a horse that was coming out. This caused Gutierrez to check hard and put the whip away for another day. Today just might be that day, as he takes a significant drop in class and to a group that he actually belongs with. Notice the last time he ran against a group he fit with, he broke his maiden at Santa Anita by over 2 lengths on the dirt. Doug O'Neill and the ownership group have been pretty aggressive with this 3 year old colt in his 7 lifetime starts, with 4 of those 7 starts being against stakes company. Note that 2 of those stakes were before he even broke his maiden so clearly his connections think he has a bright future. I'm looking for him to put up a BIG effort in this spot, and therefore is the QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY

Opening Day at DEL MAR- July 17, 2014 QRACING PLAY OF THE DAY
RACE 4
1 Mile
Md 20,000
Purse $25,000
Three Years Old and Upward
#2 Super Reagan (8-1)
This Peter Miller trained 3 year old gelding was claimed 2 back at this same level but sprinting from the Doug O'Neill barn. I think what Miller discovered is he claimed a very sound animal. In the following 18 days after the claim he worked him 4 furlongs and then put him in a MCL 40,000 race down the hill and in my opinion it was simply because the horse was fit to race and just needed to run. I truly believe this is the ideal spot today. Since that turf effort where he finished 7th, Miller has put 3 works into him (2 of which are solid 6F drills) to have him ready for today. Turf was never going to be this horses best surface but I believe synthetic is. Note his best lifetime beyer was over a synthetic surface at Betfair Hollywood Park and against a much tougher group then he'll face today. Super Reagan is sired by Successful Appeal who is an A+ synthetic sire according to Brisnet sire stats. Jockey Elvis Trujillo stays aboard and he stretches out for the first time. I think it's all systems ago today and why he is the QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY
Good Luck
