DEL MAR ANALYSIS FOR SATURDAY – 8/8/2020

RACE 1

SOUTH BOOTH SHIRLEY IS FASTEST FROM THE GATE. YOUR ROYAL COIL, DEHYDRATION AND DORITA’S LEMON WILL BE CHASING.

KING CLAUS THE BEST CLOSER.

RACE 2

A MELIS AND FLYING BUSINESS ARE THE TOP 2 IN THE ML LINE AND THE TWO FASTEST HORSES EARLY. PEACE PIPE AND SHANGHAI BARBIE AREN’T AS QUICK AS THE TOP 2, BUT THERE ARE NO CLOSERS IN HERE.

RACE 3

CONTENDING SPEED COMES FROM CAL’S GEM, CAERULEAN AND MASTER RYAN. LONGSHOT CROOKED FINGER RAY IS AS FAST AS CAL’S GEM ON HIS BEST DAY.

CLOSERS DON’T FAIR WELL IN THESE SHORT TURF COURSE.

THERE ARE 2 FIRST TIMERS, CONTENDER FLY BUDDY FLY AND LONGSHOT N.K. ROCKET MAN.

RACE 4

EL HUERFANO AND WILSHIRE DUDE SHOULD BE HEAD TO HEAD EARLY WITH KYLEMORE HOUNDING THEM FROM THIRD. LONGSHOT TREASURE HUNTER AT 12/1 HAS RUN MUCH FASTER THAN ANY OF THE TOP THREE ON HIS BEST DAY.

INCREDIBLE LUCK IS THE ONE TO FEAR FROM BEHIND AND HE IS STRONG IN THE LANE.

RACE 5

MERNEITH, THE ML FAVORITE SHOULD BE SHOWING THE WAY WITH A CLEAR LEAD OVER SUMMER LOVE EARLY. LONGSHOT MYLITTLERUNAWAY 12/1 CAN CONTEND WITH SUMMER LOVE EARLY ON.

TOP CLOSER IS MIND OUT.

RACE 6 – BEST PAL (G2) $150,000

WESTON AND GIRTHER SHOULD BE BATTLING EARLY WHILE ML FAVORITE, RODERICK, WILL BE SITTING IN THE GARDEN SPOT. THE RACE SHOULD BELONG TO THESE TOP 3.

RACE 7

VERY LITTLE SPEED AMONG THE FAVORED HORSES, LEAVING LONGSHOT FIVESTAR LYNCH 10/1 TO SET THE PACE.

CLOSERS EXCEL IN AT THIS 1 3/8 TURF DISTANCE AND LONELY LEADERS HAVE TROUBLE MAINTAING THEIR LARGE LEADS DUE TO THE DISTANCE.

THE CONTENDING CLOSERS ARE CUPID’S CLAWS AND CAMINO DE ESTRELLA FOLLOWED BY TARTINI AND REPROBATE. ACTUAL FASTEST CLOSER IS A LONGSHOT SOBERANO 12/1. HE WILL BE ATTEMPTING A LAST TO FIRST UPSET.

RACE 8

STRANGE LAST PICK-4 DOMINATED BY 3 MAIDEN RACES, TWO WITH ONLY ONE HORSE WHO HAS STARTED.

ONLY HORSE WHO HAS STARTED IN HERE IS TACOFLAVOREDKISSES AND HE WAS SLOW DOING IT.

FIRST TIMERS HAVE AN EASY CHANCE, QUESTION IS WHICH ONE?

RACE 9 – YELLOW RIBBON HANDICAP (G2) $150,000

CONTENDING SPEED IS KEEPER OF THE STARS. 2 LONGSHOTS HAVE RUN FASTER EARLY, SUMMERING 12/1 AND HARMLESS 15/1. WOULD THINK THEY WILL AT LEAST BE 1-2 EARLY.

BIG TIME CLOSERS ARE BEAU RECALL AND LADY PRANCEALOT. IF THIS RACE WERE 1 1/4 MILES IT WOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS BUT AT THE SHORTER 1 1/16 MILES, SHOULD MAKE IT A LOT MORE INTERESTING.

RACE 10

LOOKS THE SAME AS RACE 8. ONLY ONE HORSE HAS STARTED DR. SCHIVEL AND HE IS NOT A SPEEDBURNER.

THAT JUST LEAVES YOU WITH 7 FIRST TIME STARTERS TO PERHAPS JUICE UP THE PICK-4 PAYOFF.

RACE 11

FINAL LEG IS ALSO FOR MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHTS. THE TWIST HERE IS THAT EVERYONE HAS STARTED EXCEPT ONE, YA BEAUTY, AND SHE IS THE MORNING LINE FAVORITE WITH SUPERIOR TURF JOCKEY FLAVIEN PRAT. YOU WOULD THINK THAT A HORSE RUNNING HER FIRST RACE AT 1 18 MILES ON THE TURF WOULD BE UP AGAINST IT, BUT ON THE OTHERHAND, IT MAY SHOW EXTREME CONFIDENCE IN HER ABILITY.

THIS RACE WILL BE EXCEPTIONALLY SLOW EARLY AND THERE ARE ONLY TWO CLOSERS WORTH MENTIONING, WIND AND HOPE AND LONGSHOT SURROUND.

A TRUE LACKLUSTER FIELD EITHER FAVORING THE FAVORED FIRST TIME STARTER OR A BOMB OF A LONGSHOT TO BLOW UP THE PICK-4, PICK-,5, AND PICK-6.
