DEL MAR ANALYSIS FOR FRIDAY – 8/21/2020

RACE 1

ML FAV. QUINNIE 5/2 IS NOT ALL THAT FAST EARLY BUT NO ONE IN THIS FIELD IS QUICKER.

CLOSERS ARE STRONG IN HERE. LEXINGTON GRACE 4/1, KITTYHAWK LASS 5/1, AND HURLEY 7/2.

RACE 2

ONLY 2 STAND OUT EARLY, TIZHOTNDUSTY 8/1 AND DRIPPIN SAUCE 5/2.

CLOSERS ARE EVEN MATCHED AND ARE HARD TO SEPARATE, HIDDEN PROMISE 4/1, NATURAL HISTORY 4/1 AND EUSTACE 8/1.

RACE 3

WHILE TOP FAVORITE SPEED HORSE IS MURAD KHAN 9/5. HARD TO OVERLOOK LONGSHOT CALEXMAN 12/1 WHO IS VASTLY FASTER OFF HIS BEST.

TWO CLOSERS STAND OUT, BIG SCORE 8/5 AND JI\USIKAN 7/2.

RACE 4

SLOW EARLY MAIDEN CLAIMERS GOING 6 FURLONGS WITH THE EXCEPTION OF MAGNOLIA’S HOPE 6/1. OLE SILVER 5/1 AND GET’EM TIGER ARE SLOW EARLY BUT SHOULD BE CLOSEST TO THE TOP HORSE EARLY. EVEN LONGSHOT JAN CAN CAN 12/1 CAN BE IN THIS CHASING GROUP.

CLOSERS ARE ONLY MODERATE IN ABILITY BUT ARE THE TOP 2 ML FAVORITES, SHEZ OUR ARCH 7/2 AND LITTLE MISS ELLIE 3/1.

IF MAGNOLIA’S HOPE FIRES THE RACE IS OVER. IF NOT, IT IS WIDE OPEN.

RACE 5

ANOTHER RACE WITH A DOMINATE SPEED HORSE, TETON VALLEY 5/1. HE IS ALMOST A CERTAINTY TO TRY A STEAL AS HE IS SLOW LATE. BIG FISH 7/2 AND INGEST 6/1 ARE THE NEXT BEST SPEED HORSES IF THE TOP HORSE FALTERS.

THERE ARE NO CLOSERS.

FIRST TIME STARTER WARREN’S CANDY MAN 8/1 MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

RACE 6

TOUGH $8,000 CLAIMERS AT 6 FURONGS MAKE THIS A FUN RACE TO WATCH AND MAYBE BET. CASTLE GATE 8/1, FIRE WHEN READY 9/2, AND PAPA TURF 4/1 FIGURE TO BE DING DONGING FROM THE BELL.

TOP CLOSER IS BLACK STORM 6/1.

FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS.

RACE 7

SPEED IS DRAWN OUTSIDE NEXT REVOLT 4/1 AND STREET BEHAVIOR 6/1. AN EVEN FASTER LONGSHOT, KAZANSKY 12/1, COULD UPSET IF HE IS ABLE TO PRODUCE HIS BEST.

TOP CLOSERS ARE TOP 2 ML HORSES, HUDSON RIVER PARK 8/5 AND WORLD AFFAIRS 3/1.

RACE 8

SHORT TURF SPRINT SHOULD FAVOR SPEED.

THREE FAVORITE SPEEDBALLS, LEGGS GALORE 7/2, HABOBANERO 8/1 AND LIBERALISM 5/1 SHOULD BE WINGING. ADD LONGSHOT SQUARE PEGGY 12/1 TO THE MIX AND IT SHOULD BE ALL GUNS BLAZING.

GIVEN THE LACK OF SERIOUS CLOSERS MAKE IT EVEN MORE LIKELY SPEED WILL PREVAIL. ONLY CLOSERS ARE MODERATE. GIVE ME A HINT 5/1 AND LONGSHOT PLUM WILD 12/1.

RACE 9 – RANCHO BERNARDO HANDICAP (G3) $100,000

ARTISTIC DIVA 8/1 AND SNEAKING OUT 8/5 ARE BIG TIME SPEEDERS. ADD IN LONGSHOT MOTHER OF DRAGONS 12/1 AND EVEN AMUSE 5/1 AND THIS SHOULD BE A VERY FAST EDITION OF THE RANCHO BERNARDO.

TOP CLOSER IS GINGHAM 6/1.

RACE 10

CASSIE BELLE 4/1 AND EDDIE’S SISTER 8/1 SHOULD LEAD EARLY WTH ML FAVORITE ROCKIE CAUSEWAY 2/1 STALKING EARLY.

TOP CONTENDER CLOSER IS ROSE’S CRYSTAL 6/1. NINA EN FUEGO 8/1 ALSO DOES HER BEST RUNNING LATE. LONGSHOT CLOSER NEW HEAT 15/1 COULD BLOW BY THEM ALL OFF HER BEST.
