The Classic Power Page does not accommodate this…

Bias Report

Del Mar’s Main track seemed a little more honest today, but the results have been a bit on the “strange side” on Wednesday, which tells me the surface is not being picked up by many horses.

Race Day Plays

Wednesday  7/19

Del Mar..Race #7… Saint Dermot off at 12/1… ran along behind the early leaders but not that far out of it, started to pick up the running as he moved to the middle of the track, at which point the two leaders scooted away.  Clearly he was moving well, but on slower going… got up  for the show, but beaten a good number of lengths.  Good Effort, Fine Price, but tough luck…

Del Mar…Race #7… Shy Carmelita off at 14/1… ran forwardly, showing surprising early speed, turned for home in a tussell and managed to eventually defeat the early leader he dueled with throughout, but could not withstand the late close of Snow Cloud.  But gamely got the PLACE…  We got this $305/$2 exacta.  I thought he was a bit too forwardly… just my opinion.

Friday 7/21/2017

Saratoga…Race #7  Red Rifle off at 4/1… took back behind SLLOOOWWW fractions, wrangled back to last and that  was it… poor ride… I might come back to this one…

Del Mar…Race #6 Candy Promises off at 8/1… well placed but sluggish, trying to make headway on the inside… nothing really…

Satruday 7/22/2017

Saratoga… Race #11  Blarp … no bueno

Del Mar…Race #10 Luck Soul… show up for show…

Sunday…7/23/2017

Saratoga…Race #8… Table For Six  off at6/1???… ran along well, saving the ground, took over entering the lane, ran on very well, but was outfinished for the WIN…  Much the 2nd best in getting the PLACE.

Del Mar… Race #5… Blackjackcat off at 5/1… attended the pace, took over when ready, finished very well to hold off a hard charging Vyjack… got the WIN at $13.00 and the exacta and trifecta…
