Del Mar race 10 #2Comment -
Don't have much time to write up.If it's a superspeedway disregard these as most are closers.The 3 graded stakes look boring/chalky.

Sunday
Saratoga
Race 1 is a tough one to cap, only the 1 and 2 can be thrown out in the win spot.7-Samitar looks legit at 2-1 being fastest coming in out of a Grade 1 and 4-Baffle Me 6-1 looks to have the lead all to her self.C Clement is a wizard 3rd off the layoff which is what 6-Orion Moon 8-1 does even if she looks a tad slow I would expect a few ticks better.5-Deanaallen'skitten 6-1 had an impossible trip last out and still almost got it done.8-Abaco 4-1 is the other one dropping out of a Grade 1 and looks like she has been kicking down the stalls waiting to run.3-Ruthenia 7-2 is scary for Clement but she seems to disappoint more often than not.I have no idea how to bet this without a scratch or two.
7-Samitar
4-Baffle Me
5-Deanaallen'skitten
6-Orion Moon
8-Abaco
3-Ruthenia
Race 2 is a good one to go against the favorite.Nick Zito may be the biggest night(turf) and day(dirt) trainer there is.For some reason he just isn't good with turf horses and he has the ML fave in here 8-Illlapa.That brings us to another C Clement horse who debut on dirt and switches surfaces for 2nd start 6-Courtesan 4-1.3-Ameliatheaviator 5-1 probably hated the sloppy off the turf race in her only start but Nihei not very good in most of the categories that apply here.The horse is bred to like the turf though.This is a long way to go for a 2 year old 1ster so I'm a little hesitant but not much to go on in here.In order of preference it would be 5-Lemon de Oro 8-1, 1-Ready Player One 8-1 , and 7-Stock Yard Hen 12-1.Another tough race without a scratch or two.
6-Courtesan
5-Lemon de Oro
3-Ameliatheaviator
1-Ready Player One
7-Stock Yard Hen
Race 3 looks pretty straightforward with 4-Mio D'oro 7-2 and C Brown new acquisition 8-Hamnet 2-1 the main contenders.7-Standup Paddle 10-1 is the interesting one though as he comes in fastest albeit on dirt.Nicks has done very good in a limited sample with long layoffs and has hit with a long shot going 1st turf.3-Our Emerald Forest 6-1 has a shot to wire them and the Darley entry is the obvious other one .
7-Standup Paddle
8-Hamnet
3-Our Emerald Forest
4-Mio D'Oro
Race 4 is a rubix cube of angles,turnbacks,dirt to turfs, and 1st off claims.It looks to me like Maker has 10-Cayambe 4-1 ready to fire and he excels 1st claim and dirt to turf.Galluscio also good 1st off claim with 1-Saint Pete 7-2 but has to overcome the rail.6-Synthesizer 15-1 is my long shot having won in both 3rd start of the cycles so far in career.
10-Cayambe
1-Saint Pete
6-Synthesizer
Race 5 finally gives a break from the big crazy races.2-Currency Union 5-1 looks like the best price of the contenders and has the ability to rate.
Race 6 has 6-Saturday NThe Park 6-1 who looks best on dirt.
Race 7 Pletcher 1ster 5-Spanish Gold 2-1 probably has future Kentucky Oaks odds after this race.
Race 8
6-Bi Light Of Day 15-1 can improve on stretch out
8-Chasing Paradise 20-1 might be another Kingsley bomb
11-Done Smoking and 5-Eddy's Time
Race 9
4-Tattenham 5-1 had no chance last race from post 13/Think Frac Daddy is a underlay at 7-2
6-Favor Factor 5-1
3-Joha
1-Notacatbutallama
Race 10
4-Sweet Reason 8-1 has a chance if debut monster effort wasn't just because of wet track
Race 11
Don't see how Fast Falcon/Abraham lose unless Truth Is is a beast.None of them are going to be a price
Race 12
7-Wedding Lass 15-1 or 5-Darnley Bay 8-1
Delmar
Race 1 6-Soi Phet 2-1 looks tough off 3 straight wins.
Race 2 I don't really have an out of the box opinion except maybe 5-Perfect Magic Man if he drifts a little from 6-1 ML.Yankee Gentlemans love synthetic.
Race 3 Don't know what Beholder is doing in this race but it can't be a good thing.At 1-2 it's worth taking a shot against.The obvios alternatives are 2-Becky Lou 6-1 and 6-Charlie Em 8-1 who both drop out of Grade 1 turf races.I have also been a sucker for 4-Miss Empire at least 2 or 3 times in her career.
Race 4
3-Sumerian 8-1
Race 5
8-Maker Or Breaker 8-1 should sit right off the stretch out sprinter
4-Lady Aspen 4-1 takes the exact same road as last years winner of this race coming from a fast closing run at Santa Rosa in the Burbank
3-Cathy's Crunches 10-1 won this last year
Race 6
Very tough race that no one would be a surprise even the 20-1s.I'll go with 4-Rising Legend 9-2 second off the bench.
Race 7
2-Colonel Joan 10-1(These first three have good pace #s to strech out nicely)
1-Appearance 5-1
9-Miss Machiavelli 5-1
7-Exotic Behavoir 7-2
Race 8
5-Heir Kitty 3-1 Miller good with layoffs
Race 9
2-Play It Loud 6-1
Race 10
1-Unusually Green 10-1
Race 11
1-Diocesan Policy 15-1
2-Mezzanotte 12-1
10-Dolphin Shorts 8-1
11-With A Miracle 7-2Last edited by mikemca; 09-01-13, 10:25 AM.Comment -

Solid thread Mike. Keeneland and the Breeder's cup on the Horizon.Comment -
If the Ramseys are going to win every other race at KEE I'll pass.Looking forward to Kentucky Downs but it's only a 5 day meet and then Woodbine has a big day the 15th I think.The Breeders Cup is always great but kind of dulls the excitement being at Santa Anita. You can probably bet on a Game On Dude/Cross Traffic exacta box if the track isn't slowed down.Don't see how anyone runs those two down on a speed favoring track.Comment
