Opening day at Del Mar was a card of competitive races, but was dominated by Doug O’Neill, he didn’t notice how competitive the races were – he just put out super-ready horses who performed! I think he had a total of 4 winners and Jerry Hollendorfer had 3 winners. Including Million Dollar baby Brill. Brill won well while well place throughout, closing with a nice rush. It is important to note, that the inside on the DIRT might have been a little slow. I thought being off the rail was a slight advantage! So horses like Brill, might have looked a little better than he actually was. But I am sure he will get better with more racing, at least that’s the way it looks.
Okay… that’s it for tonight… good luck tomorrow…
