Del Mar - Closing Day

DiscreetCat · 09-05-2007, 01:07 PM

Race 2

#8 Richer Gear (6/1 ml)

O'Neill firster worked heads-up recently with Good Man Dan, who's entered in the Del Mar Futurity today. That being the case, i'm a little leery that this one is entered for a $40k tag. But he IS a gelding, and the only paid $5k for him.

Race 3

#2 Relato Del Gato (5/2 ml)

This horse comes off a hugely impressive performance on Pacific Classic Day, where he ran considerably faster early than Grade 1 sprinters Bordonaro/Greg's Gold on the same card. Previously, this horse had beaten the crap out of the high-quality sprinter Sailor's Sunset down @ Turf Paradise. Hard not to like this one.

HRT record:

26 for 87 (30%)

$246.30 mutuels ($9.47 avg)

Wow, a ton of plays today...

Race 6

#9 Hy Temp (15/1 ml)

Abrams trained-and-owned firster has been working well for his debut, and mets a mediocre field here. Value play.

Race 7

#1 Sindy With an S (10/1 ml)

I'm still of the opinion this is one of the best female sprinters in the country. Unfortunately she drew the rail again (that's 3 races in a row now), but she won from the rail with this rider two starts back. Catches some good horses here, but i think she'll run very well.

Race 9

#7 Leonides (5/1 ml)

Hard trier has demonstrated a good closing kick in both races so far, and that should serve him well in this 7-furlong polytrack race that has a ton of speed lined up. Makes his first start overr the poly here, and comes off a layoff, but has been training well and looks ready to run. Should be coming late.

Race 10

#7 Patch of Blue (7/2 ml)

This colt took off in his last race like his tail was on fire. Huge closing kick, and should only improve in start #2, especially with the increase in distance. The 3rd-place finisher from his last race (Sir Lowry) came back to run very well yesterday.

ATTENTION:

Sindy With an S is actually the #2 horse. Sorry for the typo.

Adding one more...

Race 8

#8 Placid Lake (2/1 ml)

Just got done watching the replay of this filly's last start, and she suffered thru a horrendous trip. She practically took a right-hand turn leaving the backstretch to circle the field about 10-wide into the stretch, and ran right past everybody exvcept for the winner, who was long gone. Should be tough here with any kind of clean trip.

Like I posted at FP, this #8 horse will love the extra 1/2 furlong and Talamo will know just when to ask this horse.

Race 8 - #8 wins for fun
