Del Mar - July 18
Hello again and welcome to a new week on the calendar or known as bail out day among horse players. Overall this weekend has been a mess due to a Reds game and a Milwaukie Bucks miraculous comeback. On the horse front yours truly has been with family and friends in Ohio so I have not paid as much attention as I would have liked at Del Mar so far. With that being said here are a few winners for the readers of Bettors Insider today, best of luck if you are playing along at home.
Race 7 - (8) Next Shares 5-1
It may come off as a pick from the heart with the 8yo gelding but when looking at the paper the numbers are there to compete, pace set up seems logical enough and I am hoping the outside draw may lead to a clean trip or give options to Franco on approach with a good amount of speed coming from Prat. The team @drfinsidepost had a solid grade on the gelding as well with an eye-catching note.
Race 9 - (10) Anna Fantastic 6-1
In 5 furlong races things have to go right – clean break, no traffic and so forth. The key to me is getting value and with that being said 6-1, Umberto Rispoli and coming off a mini vacation lead to Anna Fantastic claiming my top pick in race 9. We will see if the recent, eye-catching work at 46.2 translates to anything.
Two other horses to check out, Lady Emily in race 11 and Contagion in Race 10.
Best of luck if you are playing today and give me a follow @blinkersoff420 & @bettorsinsider for gambling content.
Until next time.
