1 1/4 miles on the polytrack. 10 horse field. Game On Dude is the morning line favorite at 5/2 and looks to be the controlling speed in the race. Richard's Kid is 7/2 morning line and won the race in 2009, and 2010. Dullahan at 6/1 is coming off disappointing runs in the Belmont/Haskell, and a 3rd place finish in the Derby. But those races were on dirt and his 2 wins have come on polytrack. 5:18 pacific time post.

Game On Dude lays over the field.The only chance to beat him is if the track is a tar pit but that may not even be enough.After him I think Rail Trip(10-1) and Where's Sterling(15-1) are the value.Comment -
I wonder is anyone will go with Game On Dude early and try to soften him up. According to the Full Card Reports analysis, Riveting Reason may be that horse. If Game On Dude gets away with easy fractions, it may be lights out for the rest of the field.Comment -
It doesn't matter.In his last race ,the Hollywood Gold Cup, he dueled through the fastest pace figures I have seen(151-121) and still won comfortably.Normal pace figs for a G1 are around 100-110.Del Mar does sometimes play extremely toward closers so hopefully that may effect him.If GOD wasn't in here I would like Rail Trip a lot and Where's Streling but the is no way to know how that one is going to handle the synth.Comment -
Like Rail Trip. Lightly raced 7yo gelding is 4th off a 7 month
layoff. Races nicely spaced. If god doesn't fire like rt's chancesComment -

Just read on DEL MAR's website that the #8 has been training lights out on the track. The horse has never run on the polytrack so who knows if he will take to it. But he recently beat the winner of the Arlington Million and has some back class. 5/1 on the morning line.Comment -
Going with a fringe contender who is 46/1 the #6. Severely tested for class, but hopefully he can move forward. Putting the #8/9 over top the #6 as well. Race goes off in 3 minutes.Comment -
