Good morning everyone! Paddock girl reporting from the Del Mar Press Box!
It seems we're getting back on track. We did good yesterday except for race 1. Like I said, MENSA HEAT look really good and she took the money on race 5. Also, CARACORTADO won by a nose to MR. COMMONS in the Del Mar Mile, giving a showdown to the crowd like we haven't had in the last weeks.
Yesterday was just a training for the big time we'll have in a couple of hours... Here is as busy as if we were running a newspaper. Everybody is here and we're excited and ready for all the madness and fun that we'll have today.
On the Classic, there will be just 9 contenders who will try to get the $1 million award. As rumored yesterday, GREAT WARRIOR (60-1) was scratched from the race; and the favorite is still TWIRLING CANDY, while ACCLAMATION is still on the favorites. Posting time: 5:18 pm
Also, we have two big races on our 11 race card for today: the Del Mar Handicap and the Pat O'Brien Stakes (races 3 and 5).
If you're coming to the track, I have news for you. To get here on time, you'll have to get earlier, is going to be busy and pack. When you get to the entrance, you'll receive a coupon for your TVG's Sports Bag...and they disappear very fast, so come early and bring a great attitude.
One more thing: at the paddcok, come and say hi! It will be crazy out there, but you'll be able to see me there, just look for a camera and a girl on a hat... easy, right?
And now, let's go to our picks :
Race 1: CAYAMBE, GOTHIC SAMURAI
Race 3: Del Mar Handicap: BOURBON BAY, MAKE MUSIC FOR ME
Race 5: Pat O'Brien Stakes: THE FACTOR, SMILING TIGER.... Be afraid of CROWN OF THORNS
Race 7: AEROMON, ARMENIAN STAR
Race 9: TVG Pacific Classic: TWIRLING CANDY, DON CAVALLO, TRES BORRACHOS....It's a hard race and plenty of the horses have a chance to win it, but so far, I believe these three will be the top ones.
Gook luck to everyone and Happy Betting!
