Del Mar for Sunday 24 July 2011
[private]
After getting our feet wet the first two days at Dmr we have been doing well and today's card once again looks rather decent. Let's hope we make a clean positive sweep of the weekend. Good luck and thank you for being such good customers. I love working hard for you and of course myself as well.
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
5 Mayakoba  needed last and the drills since suggest a good forward move is likely today
3 Solar Wind  bred to be a nice sprinter and training as if her debut into the wonderful world of thoroughbred racing will be a good thing
2 Izshelegal  late runner is proven on the Dmr surface.....needs some of the 1st timers to have early speed or her finish might be too late
4 Heidi Maria  competitive sort just needs a little more punch late.....maybe route - route to sprint can give it to her
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
4 Gatheratthealter  trainer is good with laid up horses and this gelding won for fun in both lifetime turf races....mid pack runner seemingly gets speed up front to close into
8 Photo Shopped  horse likes a couple months between starts and Canani shows patience and gives it to her....work tab is nice
5 Fifth Dimension  closer fits solidly at this level and has a decent chance to get that needed pace up front....trainer could use a win
7 Go Richie Go  Big Apple invader is spotted to win for his new (decent) connections
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
2 Golden Bounty  broke slow and ran wide in debut and now drops....fits solidly if gets the trip today......a ton if he gets the trip and moves forward
6 Stardust Dancer   3 wide in a fast heat works out to be a par like effort for today's level...good drill since and it was on the Dmr synthetic
7 Depth  consistent sort just needs a little bit more punch to get over the maiden hump....no pun intended
4 Fort William   1ster is training well enough to possibly be ready for his debut run....Talamo has won his last 8 of his last 16 riding for Mr Mitchell
race 4Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
1 Pink Leminade  can be loose and lonely on the lead and if Flores can get her to relax and slow things down she will be tough to catch
2 Dynamo  rather amazing this one won in last considering she had the trip from you know where....best animal in the race ability wise...just needs a decent trip and a little pace to close into
8 Ex Lover  done little wrong in 3 lifetime races on the grass......brilliant eye popping 5/8ths best of 83 bullet drill....might be one sharp cookie....her rider sure is
4 Lady Francesca  P Val has a good shot to get a nice chase position hoping our top pick falters down the lane....best not move too early her she will probably get burnt
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
4 Point Mugu  big race long to short 2 races back....same route to sprint today...training is not always rocket science
2 Crispy Corey  best speed in this spot and speed was finally OK yesterday....1/2 furlong less then his last race sure seems like a good thing
9 Creston Cowboy  both races with the blinkers on fit....might be able to get a decent chase position
12 Final Answer  final answer: moves forward today and fits fine
race 6Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
7 Lucky Primo  impressive fast paced duel and drew off....can rate which is a big plus......weight off too......same horse and he can repeat....trainer has limited 2011 starts but he makes the most of them
1 Norvsky   great chance to get a nice ground saving mid - pack position....highly consistent sort
2 Tamarack Smarty   Rosario sure fits this horse and he gets 9 lbs off and a good post to accomplish his goal.....the winners circle and a nice check....maybe even a hug from the owners
6 Burns  good horse is back in 4 days off of a strong race as our 2nd pick (he ran 2nd to our top pick).......fits if the horse can handle the stress
race 7Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Got Even  showed significant early speed in debut and tired some.....should stay longer in 2nd lifetime race
1 Already There  wide trip in debut or might have broken her maiden......had the 11 post that day.....gets a better post today to keep from running wide
3 Panettone  precious breeding....sprint breeding....good trainer with 1sters.....good works, especially the last, a nice 4F bullet
7 Our Boy Bejamin  tricky trainer to judge with young horses and the way he trains them.....but he sure has a good history 2nd time out of the box
race 8Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
5 Sarah's Secret  4 for 4 in the win column and exits a very key race...best credentials here by far....sharp drills.....sharp trainer
7 Great Hot  won for fun in both lifetime races.....bred well to handle the distance and the turf....positive rider switch
9 Mizdirection  done little wrong in 3 career races......has good enough early speed for Gomez to get on over and save some ground
3 Fifth Commandment  pedigree screams for a turf route and finally she gets it.....should be able to get the wood on turn 1 either on or very near the lead
race 9Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
9 Lady Lazer  good speed and a good speed rider and good speed trainer....cut back to 6F looks like a gooooooood thing
4 Safe Word  hellooooo Del Mar.....sharp near bullet drill 1st listed work on the Dmr AW seems to suggest she likes her new surroundings...both lifetime AW sprints fit...back to a top jock
1 Mona Storm last 3 sprints race turf or dirt fit well here......low % trainer but not when he drops likes here
12 Be Driven  long layoff but working great at Slr....whole career fits at this lower level
10 Cayala  last was the gimme to drop and go go go go 1st time ever in a claiming affair
2 Our Lady Gaga  solid win/effort/fig in her last with the positive rider switch to Talamo.....that was at 5F....can she do the same 1 furlong longer
Longshot Possibilities:  5 O She So    exits quite a few key fields....done little wrong since going on Lasix....sharp works say ready
