[Bogey]

Del Mar POST SCRATCHES - POLY / FIRM


R5 - Md 30k (Most of these have had trouble at the gate and lack experience)

#9 Talk N Sassy (4-1) - Long string of works for debut and might avoid problems when the gates open.
#2 Cotton Belle (8-1) - Showed nothing in debut versus MSW. Expect improvement here. 4TH
#5 Cupid's Bling (5-2) - Clean start and should be right there when it counts. 3RD
#1 R Dbouleday (3-1) - Burned money at odds on in latest when she stumbled out of the gate. 2ND

R6 - Cal Breds OC 25k/N1X (Turf 8F)

#8 Sweet Baguette (10-1) - Benefits from the lack of speed lined up and could prove tough to reel in. 4TH
#6 Highly Rated (5-2) - Will probably stalk top choice and try to take her late. WON $4.00
#5 Jewel Seeker (10-1) - Upgrades jock and had some competitive races at Golden Gate.
#2 Miss Speed Dating (7-2) - Off the pace threat will need a set up.

R7 - Cal Breds Real Good Deal $200k

#1 Rousing Sermon (2-1) - Huge class edge and a few might be backing up late. 2ND
#5 Stoney Fleece (5-1) - Has been holding his own versus stakes company.
#2 A Toast to You (10-1) - Has shown some quality and J/T combo on fire.
#4 Champions Gate (8-1) - Will show some speed and try to hold on for a minor piece. 4TH

R8 - Clm 12.5k

#8 Miss Ambition (5-1) - Handled easier in most recent and hot barn steps up.
#2 Lady Rochelle (12-1) - Has some decent effort at GG that fit here. WON $19.20
#6 Arinyes Love (8-1) - Most experienced runner has a knack for rounding out the bottom of exotics.
#10 Anne's Seven Cats (20-1) - Has enough early speed to contend and 1st time lasix doesn't hurt. 2ND

PK4 - 1 2 3 5 9 / 2 5 6 8 / 1 2 5 / 2 8 = $60 for $.50

Good Racing Luck

Good Racing Luck

You don't like the Baffert #8 - Derby Gold at all in R7? Should get a nice trip from the outside, 7F looks fine, good work at DMR one back, spd was excellent yesterday, what am I missing that he isn't better than half this field? I'll bet him to win at 7-2 or better and must use in Pk4.

Its a tough little sequance, especially if you aren't in love with Rousing Sermon in the feature. Not sure if I'm playing it, but I was leaning towards taking a leap of faith with Sadler in the 5th and singling his filly there so I can spread a bit later. Regardless, Good Luck with it Gus.

Matt, if you want, I can see if I can find the time to cap the Rousing Sermon race. If I don't like Rousing Sermon, you can confidently single him.

Thanks Nick, I knew you were a good friend. Hang in there and keep firing. You know how this game works, it's a matter of time until you go on one of those famous Pointman runs.

SS, I feel that he is going to be an underlay today and I can see him being wide on the turn with the other inside speed lined up. It seems he'll be less than 3-1 and don't he's worth it today. Good Luck today.

Good luck with your plays today.

Some big scratches in the finale.

Yeah, never good when your top choices are scratched. Miller/Gomez are on a roll and should be able to handle this field.
