Big Pick 6 Carryover at Del Mar- August 21, 2015

This blog will be completely dedicated to the Pick 6 with a carryover of 300k plus and is comprised of Races 2-7

RACE 2- Claiming 20,000 6 Furlongs
I went very deep in this race and will post my horses in order of preference
#8 Mistaken Identity (5/2)- Quite simply you just can’t ignore those works..WOW
#1 Shame On Alex (6/1)- Getting back to sprinting should be a big plus for him
#3 Sacred Ovation (8/1)- He won’t need to improve much to be a part of this group down the stretch
#2 High Test (7/2)- Broke very sharp last time and ran well last time.  Horse has been ITM 16/19 starts at the distance
#4 Limited Respone (10/1)- My comments on this one were “Not impossible” so I had to include
#5 Apollo Ten (15/1)- Needs to have a complete form turn around but if he does he’ll ring the bell at a big price to kick this sequence off

RACE 3- Claiming 40,000 Mile and Sixteenth (Turf)
Going 4 deep in this leg
#5 Loveenseek (3/1)- This horse will appreciate getting back to the turf…looks live
#8 Trifecta (5/2)- You can never ignore Phil D’Amato claim and on the turf
#2 Frat Boy (8/1)- AC Avila thought enough of this horse to claim at Keeneland in April….geld him and then put in for double the price he paid…horse didn’t run a lick that day as the favorite but was claimed by Gus Headley.  I’ll give him one more chance
#6 A Colt Following (12/1)- Only included this one b/c he seems to be improving and first time on Turf.  The Mystery horse in the field

RACE 4- Maiden Claiming 30,000 5.5 Furlongs
Went 3 deep in this one
#4 Kelly With A Twist (5/2)- Doug O’Neill with Tyler Baze aboard on a huge drop and adds blinkers
#10 Nusret (4/1)- First time gelding on the drop and Bejarano stays on board after being beaten as the post time favorite back in May at SA baby race
#6 Dixie Writer (3/1)- Might be in the best form of all horses in the race and Iggy will probably be gunning this one out of the gate. You’ll always get an honest ride from Iggy

RACE 5- Optional Claimer 20,000 Statebred/N1X- One Mile
Going 4 deep in this leg
#5 Nina’s Dragon (4/1)- Can’t ignore a winner of 5 straight shipping in here.  4 for 7 at a mile…should be a confident animal
#6 Storm Comin Thru (3/1)- Horse has improved drastically the past year and seems to be working well
#7 Chief of Staff (2/1)- How can’t you include this horse?  looks ready to go
#1 Guy Code (15/1)- Included a price horse as he stretches out from the rail.  If Q sends and can get clear it could be interesting…otherwise horse won’t be a factor

RACE 6- 80k Stakes Mile and 3/8 (Turf)
Single here
#9 Scooter Bird (7/2)- CNak has been on this horse many times including 3 wins.  I think Sadler has this horse right today and ready to fire

RACE 7- Maiden Claiming 20,000 One Mile- Fillies
Another Single and another 9
#9 Olympic Lady (3/1)- Dropping in class today and stretching out after having an even running line last time out.  Let’s see if Q can make Q a wealthy man to close things out

Total Ticket Is $576 but if this pool gets $1 Million new money today you are talking about 0% takeout which means it’s a great gamble
Good Luck today!

Horse of the Day from Del Mar- Saturday 8/15

RACE 8
#7 Zipessa  (4-1)

Stidham scratched her out of an 80 grander on the Turf yesterday to go in the Oaks and a $300,000 purse today.  Very confident move on his part.  She is 2 for 2 lifetime and I think her last was much more impressive than the 80 beyer she earned.  If you go back and look at my July 17th blog I was talking about how she just might be something special.  If she is able to win today and go 3 for 3, she will be well on her way to making a name for herself.  Some might question why Bejarano is riding the other Stidham horse, Her Emmynency, and it's my opinion he probably commited to her a while back and when they cross entered Zipessa the mount freed up for Prat to pick up.  Great Grass rider so have full confidence going to the window.  Good Luck
