Del Mar for Wednesday 27 July 2011
[private]
Just a reminder we will not be covering the Fairplex meeting this year except for a few select days and even that is only a possibility. There was little interest last year and the break should do this aging brain of mine some good.Â
race 1Â Â Â average clarity
3 Hot Ride  seemingly a hot ride for a cold jock at least by Rosario standards......strong drills and a good winning debut at Crc which is loaded with good 2 year olds this time of year......solid gate drill on the Dmr surface is reassuring
7 Chips All In  won maiden debut as the fave back in early June.....love the long works since while in waiting for a spot to run especially for a conditioner like Kitchingman......rather sure should be strong late
6 Ruler Of Dubai  good move forward in 2nd lifetime race.....sharp recent work on the training track at SA hints another move in the right direction can occur
4 Grumpy Small Mouth  bad trip in debut and beaten badly....good trip in 2nd lifetime start and an easy winner......only needs to move move forward a couple of lengths to battle for the victory
race 2Â Â Â average clarity
5 Shawklit Sunday  claim back by a small but capable barn........looking for his race 2 back which is quite strong......9 wins and 4 2nd's on the AW
3 Lit De Bet  most or maybe all of her career races run on the AW fit fine at this filly 10K level
1 Sing Sing Cindrela  1st time Mitchell and works seem good enough......like our 2nd choice this girl's whole career fits fine in this spot
8 Victoriously  improving sort has handled the rise in class rather decently 3x in a row.......going for 4x today
race 3Â Â Â average clarity
9 Three Cuties  improved effort for his new trainer in last.......solid move forward last time had a chance to run off of shorter rest which is today's scenario
8 Judy's My Angel  improved speed with the blinkers added in latest......10 lbs off with the apprentice up today.......should fly early loose on the lead in this spot....hang on kid
1 Running Isabella  continues to train like she is a nice horse....needs to learn how to run in the afternoon.....blinkers on in last didn't work.....smartly off todayÂ
6 Sweet Pleasure   1ster is training up to snuff and catches a less then stellar group
race 4Â Â Â average clarity
4 R Vicarious Girl  highly competitive sort and consistent.......ships in and now is in the high % Mitchell barn......ratable mare seems like the controlling speed here
5 Gumption  late runner will be finishing well most likely when quite a few in here tend to flatten out at 1 1/16 miles on the sod
1 El Nadia  smooth runner can get the trip saving some ground stalking the pace setters......does tend to flatten out slightly at the distance.......still, smooth running grass horses are almost always dangerous
2 Hameildaeme  claim back by Lloyd and he leaves P Val aboard who has won his last 2 of 3 mounts with this mare......deep closer seemingly gets about a 50/50 shot at getting the needed heat up front to sets things up for a closer like herself
race 5Â Â Â average clarity
7 Coal Region Kid  last was OK.....race 2 back would handle the competition here
8 Te Rapa  raced over his head in last in what appears to be the tune-up for a full throttle drop and go today
4 Volacious  improving sort will need the trend to continue.....trainer is off to a decent start at the seaside meeting
6 Royal Heat   another on the improve....1st long ever but bred to handle a route of ground......7 pounds off with the apprentice up......should be in the hunt from the get go
race 6Â Â Â slightly above average clarity
6 Rumor  love the way Mandella is taking his time with this filly keeping her in alw races and teaching her what winning is all about.....filly has been most impressive in all 4 lifetime starts
2 Pedaltothemedal  1 for 1 at Dmr and that race came after a grass race run at Hollywood....same scenario for today
1 Alaska Miss  speed of the speed has a dangerous history when she gets clear by a length or two
race 7Â Â Â slightly below average clarity
5 Victory Pete  last 6 races average 1 below par on The Racing Digest's Top Turf Today Figs and both lifetime turf wins are at the 1 mile distance being run today
4 Gallant Son  decent history at least figure/effort wise running short to long like today and he won his last in a 6 furlong sprint on the sod
1 Blue Chagall  experienced runner will need a near flawless race to upset either of our top 2 picks if they run their best.....post and rider (Gomez) may give her what she needs
9 American Lion  solid runner at 2 and 3....caught some very solid competition......sprint tune-up in layoff run last......bred to handle the lawn.....Harty is solid 2nd out after a layoff
race 8Â Â Â average clarity
6 Courtney's Prize   trainer has come ready to rock and roll from what he has shown so far......2 nice Emd races under her belt and maybe more importantly a sold bullet 5/8ths work on the Dmr synthetic
2 Jessakar  bombed in last.....race 2 back was a strong bad trip effort.......that race 2 back with a good trip would make her mighty tough here
10 Bold Remark  2 decent lifetime races....Bejarano accepting the mount seems like a good signal this filly has held her form for her 1st on the Dmr oval
7 Elegant Eve  claiming 1st timers isn't exactly Palma's strong suite but the works sure seem like this one is meant and ready
1 Kvell  nothing special so far in 2 lifetime races but positive rider switch and the trainer is solid 2nd time lasix with a horse
5 Lady Aragorn  works are so so but Walsh has won a third of her last 90 mc 1st starters
