So today I like two races again. Race 1 - Nicky Santoro is the one I like. Should get a nice trip with Tyler Baze aboard. The horse is part owned by Joe Pesci and he loves Del Mar. With that aside, the horse fits well at this spot and should win--we hope. Race 7 - Vikki's Honor is the one I LOVE today. M/L 2-1 so we arent going to get much back. But the horse fits with this bunch, has the right running style for this race.

Good luck all.

To say the least. Sucks about Pesci's horse. I really liked him in this spot.

Havent you come to expect this from Southern California racing? I mean, be honest. You have the beautiful skinny girls, the great Pacific Ocean, way better Mexican food, and a couple nice to look at race tracks. But as far as racing goes, when is it ever really good out there, save for Santa Anita in the winter?

Not dissing your great state, I love visiting it as much as any other place but the racing has been bad for a while and shows no improvement in sight.

I put together a cheap Pick 3. I'll tell ya their is one horse that I like at decent odds in the 6th, Oneida County. Likes the distance, steady figs. 10-1 ML odds.

I think I've seen 3 breakdowns in the past 2 days at Del Mar. Jeez, when you card 15 10,000 claimers I guess that's what you can expect but it doesn't make it any easier watching it.

You are right. I really wait till Santa Anita reopens to play again. Santa Anita has had alot of short fields too. Just not enough owners in Califorina. The big barns are in Kentucky and ship east. I wonder if there's a chance that Agua Calinte in Mexico ( just south of the boarder)will reopen after we change California racing to Cushin-Pushin-Polytrack racing, so we have some good old dirt racing?

I'm 'churning', putting down $5 show bets that I just hope to get back ($2.20 is fine) so that I will be able to watch streaming of Euro races at BRIS. First race, I used Schwindler (7), second race I have Warrior Song (2), third race Gold Label (6), undecided on rest, want to see how they look before I choose.
