Derby Trail Forums - 7/18: Del Mar (5th-8th)

Entertaining and pretty lucrative opening day at Del Mar Wednesday, as other than Gabriel Charles arriving a beat late in the Oceanside, a lot of things went right. Value player Greeley Awesome ran huge in the 1st half of the co-feature and boosted the tri/super while nightcap winner (and my Dime a Day play) Spring Up finished the day with a $12.40 tote. Although the Gabriel Charles beat cost the P4, Gervinho ($7.80), Diamond of Blue ($10.80) and Love de Car ($7.60) combined between the 6th-8th for a generous $125 P3. A lot fun yesterday and the good action bodes well for a great summer at Del Mar. Hope you did great!
