| * TRIFECTA: 3,5,6/1,3,5,6/1,3,5,6,8 | ||||
| COMMENTS: MAN O ROSE tends to run some of his best races following some rest like today. MOTORIOUS does not run two races in a row all that often. He does here and has a bullet work between starts. SUMTER has the best chance for the pace to match his past winning efforts according to Smart Sheets C Zone. MONSTER showed the most improvement last put with better early pace and faster fractions. | ||||

| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $300,000 DEL MAR OAKS GRADE I | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |

| * EXACTA: 3,9.10 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 3,9,10/3,5,9,10/3,4,5,9,10 | ||||
| COMMENTS: TAM TAM is getting a little better by the race and has hit the board in five of five at the distance with three wins. KENSINGTON LANE won her lone race at the distance last out and did so handily. RAIDING PARTYs last race was better than it looks with better middle and late pace numbers. DEFINE showed some strong late pace last out and could be posed for a career best making two starts in a row for the first time. | ||||
| RACE #10 $1,000,000 Stakes 1 1/4 Miles ON THE Dirt - POST TIME: 9:43 PM ET | ||||
| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $1M PACIFIC CLASSIC GRADE I | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |
| WIN | 5-2 | 11 | Knightsbridge | J Alvarado |
| PLACE | 8-1 | 9 | Navajo Warrior | M J Husbands |
| SHOW | 8-1 | 3 | Finger | K Tosaki |
| WILD CARD | 5-1 | 2 | Forged Steel | E Gonzalez |
| ALTERNATE 1 | 6-1 | 7 | Hit Show | F Geroux |
| ALTERNATE 2 | 10-1 | 5 | Malarchuk | U Rispoli |
| * EXACTA: 11/2,3,5,7,9 KEY BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 11/2,3,9/2,3,5,7,9 | ||||
| COMMENTS: KNIGHTSBRIDGE ran a triple digit speed figure in six of his last seven races and really any of them would likely be enough here. NAVAJO WARRIOR won ten of eighteen races including three mostly easy wins in a row. FINGER is a wildcard out of Japan with race times that should be him close to par here. FORGED STEEL would be most dangerous on the lead with reasonable fractions. | ||||
| RACE #11 $300,000 Stakes 1 Mile ON THE Turf - POST TIME: 10:18 PM ET | ||||
| ** BONUS COMMENTARY ** $300,000 DEL MAR MILE STAKES GRADE II | ||||
| PICK ORDER | M/L | P# | HORSE NAME | JOCKEY |
| WIN | 7-2 | 12 | El Potente | H I Berrios |
| PLACE | 10-1 | 10 | Flyover | A Ayuso |
| SHOW | 8-1 | 6 | Sinsel | K Kimura |
| WILD CARD | 5-1 | 9 | King of Gosford | U Rispoli |
| ALTERNATE 1 | 6-1 | 7 | Almendares | A Fresu |
| ALTERNATE 2 | 12-1 | 4 | Freedoms Not Free | E Jaramillo |
| * EXACTA: 6,9,10,12 BOX | ||||
| * TRIFECTA: 6,10,12/6,9,10,12/6,7,9,10,12 | ||||
| COMMENTS: EL POTENTE should sit right off the pace and try to close out the race late. FLYOVER can win from the front to the back of the pack and has an early race edge over the rest of about a length. SINSEL arrives from Brazil as a major unknown but we know his workouts say he is ready. KING OF GOSFORD is another that can win from anywhere on the track and has the best chance to get a trip that matches his best efforts. |
