Good morning racing fans. We’re back with more racing action. This time we’ve got Delaware Park to look forward to. We’re expecting fast and firm conditions beneath partly sunny skies with steamy temperatures. Let’s get to it!
Wednesday at Delaware Park:
Race 7: Unconquered Spirit - 1 pt win (US Morning Line Odds: 10/1)
Allowance runners go a mile and a sixteenth on turf in this one and this race looks like a showdown between four runners: In Effect is 7/2 morning line and has numbers that would contend here as he continues to drop in class but he seems a little pace dependent and I didn’t love his last race. I’ll pass at likely shorter odds than the other contenders. Initforthelove is 6/1 on the morning line and rides a two race win streak into this. While his form is good, he seemed to hit his groove at Tampa Bay Downs with Jermaine Bridgmohan riding. He ships to Delaware where he didn’t have much success last year and gets an 8% rider. Passing. Palio comes off nearly a year layoff and has numbers that can contend with these but he didn’t beat much last time out and faces better today off a layoff. I’m siding with 10/1 morning line runner - Unconquered Spirit who returns off an October layoff. Two of his career wins have come off a layoff so that’s a nice sign. He’s got a win over this track (nobody else has that) and is 4 for 4 in the money and has two wins in two starts at the distance. 10/1 is the best value here.
Best of luck to everyone playing Wednesday’s races from Delaware Park!
