Saturday August 18 Picks (includes Arlington)

Good morning everyone,

Paddock Girl here:

First of all thank you for all who tuned in to XX Sports AM (1090) this morning from 9 to 10 am (12-1pm ET)  to listen "Del Mar Direct" with Gary Mandella and Toby Turrell... and me, well, at least for a small part.  For the following Saturdays, You can also listen live on http://xsportsradio.com.

Like I said at the show, the Breeders' Cup in Los Angeles is going to be very different from the last years and there will be a lot of marketing involved... I can't wait for the train that looks like a horse car!

Back at Del Mar, the sun is up and shinning, Today there are 10 races, including the Del Mar Oaks, where LADY OF SHAMROCK has been rocking those charms as the favorite. However, it won't be that easy for this horse since MY GI GI and EDEN;S MOON will be joining too.
