Here is the complete 8 race breakdown for Del Mar before scratches with my top pick 3 picks listed in order of preference
RACE 1
6 Furlongs
State bred Md 50,000
#7 Player's Charm (5-2)
Has been long odds in first 3 starts and ran well in all 3. With the drop today the pressure is on to win when expected. Looks tough
#3 Better Luck (3-1)
Can't ignore any firster out of the Peter Miller barn. Only paid $13,000 for the horse so certainly this horse must be working well in the AM
#2 Stormin Wild (9-2)
Showed speed going 5F and today they add blinkers so is it possible to show more speed? If he clears the field could be tough to catch
RACE 2
6 Furlongs
Filly Md 62,500
#8 Suite One (7-2)
Broke from the rail first time when running an impressive second. Trainer steps up in class which is always a confident sign at Del Mar
#3 Nicole Michelle (3-1)
2 starts and 2 decent efforts. With a slight move forward today could find herself in the winners circle
#7 Birthday Song (15-1)
A nice string of 3f drills may mean this one is ready to show early speed in a race that might be looking for a pace setter. Upset possiblity
RACE 3
6 Furlongs
Filly Clm 40,000
#8 Tough Business (7-2)
Improving filly and could have her choice of trips after drawing the outside post
#2 Natalie Paige (4-1)
First time synthetic and should like stretching back out. Should be part of the early pace
#7 Gracie Ragazza (5-1)
If things fall apart up front this could be the one rolling late
RACE 4
One Mile and Sixteenth
Filly Clm 32,000
#3 Flashy Dame (5-1)
Looks very dangerous to me and this 5 year old mare appears to be in great form
#1 Silver Hustler (6-1)
Only second career synthetic start but a much softer spot for this effort so stands a serious chance
#9 Always a Chance (15-1)
Reclaim for the O'Neill barn 3 back so they like something for her at this level. Tyler just missed with this one earlier in the meet at a double digit price
RACE 5
6.5 Furlongs
Filly MSW 75k
#9 Here's Bella (6-1)
Good debut effort over at Los Al and seems to be working forward for start #2. Only ? is that Talamo was to jump on the 1 but that horse is now a scratch
#4 Keezheekoni (15-1)
Should benefit from the freshening and ran well fresh in her debut. A return to that form and is right there in the thick of things
#2 Fashioned Lady (7-2)
Proctor/Drayden Van Dyke combo did a lot of damage at the Santa Anita meet and this one could get them rolling at Del Mar
RACE 6
6 Furlongs
State bred Filly 20k/N1X
#6 Only Josie Knows (9-2)
Canani trained filly looks ready to fire a big effort
#9 Midnight Lady (7-2)
has ran well over the Del Mar synthetic in the past and is training well leading up to the race
#1 Halo La (6-1)
A little cheap for the condition but holds some dangerous early speed. Will need to get loose to steal this one
RACE 7
5 Furlongs
Filly- Stakes "The Daisycutter Handicap"
#1 Master the Blues (4-1)
Super sharp mare who cuts back to sprinting. Hess/Desormeaux combo has been lethal
#3 Tribal Spy (3-1)
Layed off since May but can't ignore a Tribal Rule sired horse on the synthetic
#4 Our Pure Creation (6-1)
Another layoff horse but does possess one synthetic effort that was a win at BHP by open lengths
RACE 8
One Mile and Sixteenth
Md 20,000
#7 No Dishonor (9-2)
Blinkers stay on and serious drop in class to try and win today. Talamo stays aboard
#2 Super Reagan (5-2)
Ran too good to lose to stable mate on opening day. Could be his day
#4 Stolen Property (6-1)
Surface switch and a drop in class for this gelding they only paid $6,000 for. Saw something promising to keep him at a higher level up to today
Thank you all for reading and the support along the way. It's my dream one day to make my name in the racing industry but I know that only happens with hard work and many humbling times.
Best of Luck and enjoy the Races,
