It’s a beautiful day and an even better card today at Del Mar. Let’s Ride.
Race 6: 6½ Furlongs. F.Mdn 57k
#1 Leia Marie (4/1) – Cutting back to a sprint and switching back to dirt, her races over the dirt in New York were very strong. The Conductor likes that she’s adding blinkers and he’ll single her in this sequence.
Race 7: 5 Furlongs. (Turf) OClm 50000
#8 Caerulean (9/2) – He’ll be a higher price than he should with low % connections. His maiden breaker was very fast over this track and he’s working well entering today. He’ll be able to put himself in a good position early with his speed.
Race 8: 6½ Furlongs. S.Mdn 57k
*Double Barrell Buckshot #1 Starship Chewbacca (8/1) – Another runner that will be an overlay because of his trainer, he’s yet to run a bad race. 2nd off the layoff and returning to Del Mar where he’s run his best, he has every chance.
#7 Square Root (6/1) – This colt dueled and set a hot pace routing on turf last time and is now switching to dirt and cutting back to a sprint. This is one of the Conductor’s favorite angles.
Race 9: 1 1/16 Mile. (Turf) Clm 25000
#1 Justin’s Quest (3/1) – His race two back on dirt wins this race easy and this gelding is bred for turf despite never having tried it. He’s the most likely winner in the Conductor’s opinion
#5 Golden Doughnut (8/1) – Dropping in class and stretching out to route, he looks to get a favorable trip up close or on a moderate pace.
