Del Mar Futurity

[Gander]

And very little on the Pirates Bounty. Whats up? Its the last day of "the other summer meet" and nobody is saying a word about any of the races.

I think Captain Squire is a wonderful horse but wouldnt be too confident at a short price. Here are some questions that will determine the winner:

Is the Captain quick enough to outsprint Bushwacker early? I dont think hes as good a horse when hes not dictating the pace and it looks really dicey in here that he will be able to have the lead.

Is Old Man River good enough and is there a pace meltdown possibility?

Which Jet West shows up? The one who ran brilliantly at SA over the winter, or the one we saw last time? Did the Dubai trip take out his steam? This horse doesnt exactly love Delmar.

If Captain Squire doesnt go early, is Bushwacker a threat for all the marbles?
The trainer is only 6% with horses 2nd off layoff but this horse looks like he has major upside. He does own one race that would be good enough to win this.

Areyoutalking to me is a complete puzzle. Horse seems to fire but for one reason or another hasnt gotten it done. 0 for 8 since his Feb 05 score.
