Bonus Del Mar Play- Race 3 #3 Hit the Road. This is a very good horse IMO. Very professional in turf bow. Exploded in lane and looked like he had plenty more in the tank. Last work was very strong.

Looks like Hit the Road scratched

Yep...too bad, was really looking forward to betting him.

Now you owe us another Del Mar bonus play as I was going to play along, haha just kidding.

Curious how many you are using in the Spinaway to get through the pk-4 if you are playing. It looks kind of a straightforward race and yet I have thoroughly confused myself with it. Currently planning on just using Jeremiah's horse and the obvious Mott. I think I can get through the 9th with just the 2,3 and like some prices in the 10th and 12th...one of those frustrating races where if I spread Mott will probably win but if I go narrow I'll miss entirely.

It’s a tough sequence. Agree in the 9th. I also think the finale is 1 or 2. I will probably use the 3 on a small ticket because I know that horse is going to eventually win and pay $30.

I don’t love the Mott in the Spinaway but obviously she’s a deserving favorite. I also don’t love Miah’s horse but she will be on my ticket. I’m using Figure of Speech also

Thanks for the thoughts. I think I’ll throw in Chad’s horse on your recommendation plus I read she’s worked well with Guarana which says a lot to me. Totally agree on the last but I also want to use NutzforBoltz as it seems like Agra’s has back on track and if we like Risky Sour why not he?

Alandra follows the old Steve Byk adage to watch out for Shug horses debuting at 7F.

Good luck today.

Alandra was very game in winning, paying $16.80 and $7. Dashing Dan got bet like he couldn’t lose and then set a fast pace and folded late. I’m actually glad what happened with Alandra happened yesterday because it shows how challenging only picking two horses a day can be. It was my idea, so I’m not complaining, but it means a lot of other horses I liked didn’t make the cut. All in all it was a fun meet. Probably not going to show a profit but didn’t disgrace myself either. I’ll have a better recap in a few days.

So, Hit the Road scratched at Del Mar, but just romped in the Zuma Beach at Santa Anita. Very good 2 year old grass horse.
