Sunday July 28 Del Mar Picks (Includes Monmouth)

Hello everyone,
Paddock Girl here:


   Both the Beer Fest and the races were very popular yesterday. The winners of the Stakes were SWEET MARINI (Fleet Treat S.) and KETTLE CORN (San Diego Handicap). PAYNTER came in second, but after all that he's been through, is still a champ.

   From the picks on the radio show, we gave you an exacta on race 6 (QUALITY PLAN, MAGIC DADDY: congratulations) and the horse in the ninth race (SOUTH FLOYD) looked like it was going to win, but could't hold it and just before the finish line two other horses got in front of him, ending in  third place.

    Today is a big day in Monmouth and for all the fans of the contenders of the last Kentucky Derby. The biggest race is the Haskell, with a purse of one million dollars. The favorite so far is VERRAZANO, which will be ridden by jockey John Velazquez. Nonetheless, this race has another big names like OKBOW and VYJACK.

   Back at Del Mar, today there are 10 races, including the Bing Crosby Stakes, where the favorite is  COMMA TO THE TOP.

    Tonight is also concert night (yes, for the third consecutive day). "Los Tucanes de Tijuana" will be playing at the Seaside Stage. They are very well know in the Latino community, they play mexican music, very festive and even if you don't know Spanish, you will enjoy the concert and dance a lot.
