Del Mar for Saturday 14 August 2010
[private]
Handicappers Corner
My father-in-law (couldn't ask for a better one and I say that with all my heart) passed away last night less than 3 weeks since we put his wife to rest so once again thank you for your patience. Sunday is their 68th wedding anniversary and I guess they can celebrate it after all.
You know the drill. Names and numbers only for today (except for the top pick) and possibly tomorrow.....That's it for parents on both sides of the family so I hope not to be making similar posts for quite some time.
As I've often stated in the past trainers win in bunches and O'Neill has quite a few I've selected in my top 3 selections today. Might want to key around those picks. After all he has been on fire for the meet
race 1 average clarity
7 Warren's Swamp Fox repeat of last very tough here...on fire trainer/rider combo
4 Seedless
5 Ida Of March
2 Jordon's Sister
race 2 average clarity
4 Roar Of Applause dangerous barn with layoff drop downs.....ample pace sets things up for his closing style
5 Star Nicholas
3 Kanan Dan
race 3 average clarity
1 Fairway Road good record when runs for a tag......can get a nice mid pack position in a race where the pacesetters have a good chance to knock heads and tire
4 Yankee Romance
5 Folk Dancer
8 Come Home Quick
race 4 average clarity
5 Don Perico decent debut fig wise put of more significance is the strong pace this state-bred showed...positive rider switch too
1 Cestatorre
4 Big Bad Boo
9 Papa Lev
race 5 average clarity
9 Titus Aurelius placed to win for O'neill who seemingly is in full go mode
1 Halo's Law
8 Joyful Success
3 Self Defense
race 6 average clarity
6 A Lil Dumaani race lacks speed and this ratable gelding can have great position in reasonable pace on or near the lead

4 Gallant gent
5 All Man
race 7 average clarity

7 Riveting Reason
race 9 below average clarity
