Ouch. Two places and a show yesterday. Soooo close. Oh well, let’s shake it off and move on. I’m playing in a couple of online tournaments today and I’ve been studying Del Mar, so let’s take advantage of that and head west for some winners.

Your BEST BET is 2 VICTOR’S CRY in RACE 8 (5/1 ML). Street Cry boy is proven on this course and likes to run fresh – won twice from a layoff. Last race was a G1 win. Race may set up nicely for this closer.

Your NEXT BEST BET is 4 ROCK SO HARD in RACE 7 (5/1 ML). Rock Hard Ten baby sports a consistently sharp work tab for his debut and gets Lasix today. Baffert is 26% with first timers and Garcia wins 32% for him.

Your VALUE BET is WIN/PLACE/SHOW on 10 LILLY FA POOTZ in RACE 6 (8/1 ML). Hollendorfer trainee loves the turf – in the money in all 7 starts on the stuff. In fact, she has finished in the money in all 8 starts this year. Can’t see that changing today. She’s coming off a nice Hollywood win at this distance and fits well with these.
