I wouldn't play the opening day at Del Mar at all. In fact, I don't think I would play the whole first week. Nobody really has any idea how this new surface will play there, and without at least SOME information on the track bias, I think a wait-and-see approach makes the most sense.
Also, what will the relationship be between horses' performances on Hollywood's cushion track and Del Mar's poly? Are they different enough to treat them differently? If so, how differently? We don't know that for certain yet either.
I only like to bet if I feel like I have an advantage over most of the other people betting in terms of information or skill. I don't feel that way here. With all of the unknowns going into the opening week at Del Mar.....betting the races there seems like like a big crapshoot to me.

Agreed! it is probably a good time to be a numerologist. Open day has some good turf races (total of 4). Might take a stab at them.

Good luck to those who play...
