Del Mar for Thursday 15 November 2018

Take note that there is a Pick 6 carryover of $45K today and with another $10K in the jackpot.

Best of luck as always!

 

race 1    average clarity

3  Devils Dance   3 decent dirt races to start her career and in those efforts she showed good early speed......this is a good spot for a speed horse especially considering the abbreviated 5F turf distance.....if she takes to the turf in her 1st race on it she should be tough.......two year old filly owns an adequate turf pedigree

7  Rather Nosy   MSW debut at SA down the hill  which was run 4 weeks ago wasn't too bad beating 7 of 9 foes.........works since the 6 1/2F turf race are improved hinting the turf muscled her up and a forward move should occur today.......Prat staying put supports the notion

6  Miss Alegria   awfully decent dirt MSW debut considering she went off at 66 to 1 odds.......she likely wasn't all that cranked up and surprised the barn a bit......she should be now.....and she gets to run on the grass which she owns a good pedigree for.......two of her siblings were turf winners

4  Gallantlystreaming

 

race 2    average clarity

1  Sooner Better   nice endurance building route race on the AW at GG in her 2nd lifetime start.......improved 4F work since the race at Slr........and drops into maiden claiming for the 1st time........good post and rider......brothers Desormeaux are starting to heats things up a bit

8  Silent Alarm   just fired his lifetime best in his 1st ever in a route race.....and the effort is disguised in its strength by a wide trip up on the pace........endurance is likely to be enhanced today with that 1st route under his belt.......jock could use a little more cleverness with his ride today

7  Redrock Trail   nice forward move in his 2nd lifetime start and 1st with Sadler as the trainer.......another 1st today as in 1st at a route........like the step up from MC30 to MC50K as it suggests his new trainer likes what he is seeing since his 2nd place finish vs 11 foes on 13 October.......pedigree to handle the two turns is decent

3  Classy Chasie

 

race 3    below average clarity

1  Aunt Lubie   good effort two back with the blinkers on for the 1st time and going a route for the 1st time in her 1st race at Del Mar........too ambitious in her next start.........her winning race two back was run off of 10 weeks rest......11+ weeks since her last and a.m. work hints she is ready........back to Prat after being absent for one race......such a deal

2  Mo See Cal   scratched the other day for today's race......Cal-bred just fired her lifetime best albeit on a good track .........not sure if she is as good on a fast surface but if she is she fits well in this spot

6  Whirling   double barrel action from the Mandella barn as he also trains our top pick......tossed a clunker in her latest but continues to train as if she is healthy........rather confident she mounts a rebound but to what degree is tough call

 

race 4    average clarity

2  Breezy Bee   last two races which were both on the grass at Del Mar fit very well at today's lower maiden level.......filly has been absent for over a year but her a.m. prowess hints she is fit and ready fresh off of the bench.........brothers Desormeaux seem to be in "go mode" right now

6  Tig Tog   seems like an overdue drop into maiden claiming for this filly who runs well but has yet to win in 11 starts (11 0 3 4)

5  Gattaia   lost to our 2nd choice at GG (seemingly fair and square) two races back but her lifetime best was the only time she has seen the Del Mar turf........that and her trainer is 36% win & 73% in the money with the MSW to maiden claiming move

4  See That Kat

 

race 5    below average clarity

1  K P's Smokin   lone dirt race that this filly ever ran on the Dmr surface stands out as so much her best ever........and that race like today was run at one mile.......positive rider switch and the trainer appears to be in go mode of late..........if she is up to a repeat of her aforementioned 11 August Dmr race she should be tough in this spot

4  Peachy   best routing on the dirt (2 1 1 0).......seems to like racing of off of short rest......she does today and also gets to run turf to dirt which is usually a plus for most horses

5  Mousey Mousey   invader from Canada made a significant step up in maiden claiming (MC16K to MC50K) in her latest seemingly out of nowhere (and with no sign that she warranted a multi-level step up) in her last.........but the connections knew what they were doing as she won her 1st ever at a route by 5 1/2 lengths to break her maiden at odds of 24 to 1 in a 6 horse field........bothers to ship from Vancouver to Del Mar.......gets the meets leading jock to ride.......interesting and unusual sort for sure

6  Cooper Cowgirl

2  Rolling Shadow

 

race 6    average clarity

3  Objective   tightly spaced work tab for this Proctor MSW 1st time starter and she sure appears meant and ready at 1st asking as she held her 6 day work interval despite the long ship from Fai to SA.......that is very rare indeed......and Tom Proctor gets his old pal Stevens to accept the mount

7  Data Storm Kitty   solid MSW debut two back on the dirt at SA.......effort was better than par and unless you are a touring gold pro below par is a very good thing..........turf race in start number two was OK opening up a lead in the stretch and tiring bad late.....back on the turf for start number 3 and with endurance building a.m. work that hints she is ready fresh off of a 12 week layoff and with more staying power this time around

5  Sold It    pounded in her MSW debut to even money and didn't live up to her support at the windows whatsoever.........switch to the turf might help........we shall see

2  Shut It Up

1  Apples Arch

 

race 7    average clarity

5  California Journey   good move by Hollendofer putting his new shooter (used to be in the Chew barn) on the main track for the 1st time as he ran a lifetime top and the strength of the effort is somewhat disguised.....works since are solid......last might be good enough and he seems up for even more this afternoon

1  Ninety Nine Proof   like the move to his first at a dirt route as he handled two turn turf racing just fine and he sure appears to be a better dirt horse than a turf horse........Miller four year old should be in the mix from the get go and very dangerous

7  Ground Attack

2  Duluth

 

race 8    average clarity

2  Tough It Out    3 for 3 on the Del Mar grass......2 for 8 on other turf........1 for 1 at the marathon 11 furlong turf distance..........good post and an adequate turf jock up in Tiago Pereira........trainer has been fairly hot of late..........hard not to like

4  Lucky Soul   was screaming out for more ground to cover and he sure ran well in his latest when he got it........ retains Prat and for a trainer in Michael McCarthy who was firing on all cylinders at the SA fall meeting.......four year old gelding gets another furlong to deal with today (from 10F to 11F) which should be to his advantage

3  Icy Street   nothing cooking in 2018 so far (only two starts) but 3rd out after a long layoff and back in short rest both indicate he might be up to his 2017 form........Sadler is stout 3rd out off of a layoff and this colt's lone win came off of short rest.....last race 13 days ago........hmmmm

5  Alsatian

1  Red King

7  Epical
