The Cary Grant is today's featured race at Del Mar; and we'll be looking at that contest below, as we take another run at The Pick Four at The Place Where The Turf Meets The Surf.
RACE 6 - OC 40k/N1X - Six Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 10 Well Measured (Morning Line 5-2)
B’s
# 7 Blue Anchor (ML 7-2)
C's
# 3 Dead Easy (ML 12-1)
# 4 Spanish Hombre (ML 8-1)
Well Measured, a perfect three-for-three lifetime over this main track, defeated more expensive here two starts back, after winning at this level in his most recent race prior to that. Blue Anchor, who could be the speed of the speed here, took the Place at this class level two starts back. Dead Easy and Spanish Hombre appear to be the two who will be running best late.
RACE 7 - Clm $40k - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 5 Unapologetic (ML 5-2)
B’s
# 6 Fin de Semaine (ML 7-2)
# 9 Start a Runnin (ML 5-1)
C's
# 7 Afleet Domination (ML 15-1)
Note for future reference that this contest is restricted to three year olds only. Unapologetic missed victory by just a neck two starts back against more expensive over this turf course. Fin de Semaine goes first off the claim for Trainer Jay Kruljac, who tends to do well with such. Start a Runnin could get burnt early with all the speed here; but the outside draw could help give Start a Runnin a nice stalking trip with first run at the leaders. Afleet Domination shows a steadily improving form, as well as some very nice morning moves.
RACE 8 - [S] The Cary Grant $100k - Seven Furlongs Dirt
A’s
# 2 Magic Mark (ML 5-2)
# 7 Gold Rush Dancer (ML 3-1)
B's
None
C's
# 3 Image of Joplin (ML 12-1)
# 6 Acceptance (ML 7-2)
# 9 Solid Wager (ML 6-1)
Scratch # 4 Lucky J Lane (No Line)
Magic Mark and Gold Rush Dancer both appear to be in top form, and they each sport recent wins at this class level. Image of Joplin, going first off the claim for Trainer Michael Pender, could be an early pace presence.
Acceptance won at this class level charging down the Santa Anita Hill last time out, and has previously won on the dirt at this class level. Solid Wager is the defending champ for this contest, and could be the one running best late.
RACE 9 - (F) MSW - Eight Furlongs Turf
A’s
# 4 Sugary (ML 3-1)
# 7 Curricula (ML 8-1)
B's
# 3 Shezroxiie (ML 6-1)
# 5 Special Gal (ML 7-2)
# 9 Could Be Magic (ML 4-1)
# 10 Onzaway (ML 6-1)
C's
# 1 Morganna (ML 20-1)
Scratch # 6 Latino Mo (NL). Bring in # 11 Sassy Ashley (ML 20-1), but scratch the other Also Eligibles: # 12 Georgia Blue (ML 10-1); # 13 Midnight Toast (ML 20-1); and # 14 Lauren's Export (ML 5-2)
Sugary has been within two lengths of the winner at the wire in each of her three career turf starts. Curricula could be the quickest early in this field.
Shezroxiie took the Show in her debut charging down the Santa Anita Hill last time out. Special Gal wanted no part of the hill last time out, and could improve with a return to flat racing. Could Be Magic closed well sprinting on this turf course in her debut back in August.
Onzaway has proven to be competitive at this class level. Morganna is a first time starter sired by Uncle Mo, whose progeny tend to do well at first asking.
OK, that's the analysis. Playing our tickets in Crist fashion, we get:
All A Entries
$1.00 P4: 10 with 5 with 2,7 with 4,7 $4.00
All A Entries with All B Entries
$0.50 P4: 7,10 with 5,6,9 with 2,7 with 3,4,5,7,9,10 $36.00
A's with One C
$0.50 P4: 3,4 with 5 with 2,7 with 4,7 $4.00
$0.50 P4: 10 with 7 with 2,7 with 4,7 $2.00
$0.50 P4: 10 with 5 with 3,6,9 with 4,7 $3.00
$0.50 P4: 10 with 5 with 2,7 with 1 $1.00
Total: $50.00
Post Time for Race 6 is 5:59 EST / 2:59 PST. Good luck to all.
Peace and Love,
Jimbo
