Wednesday July 24 Picks

Good morning people:
Paddock Girl here:


 First week is gone and it was done with style!  Last Sunday was a very busy day at Del Mar and everyone got something back, besides having fun!

   First, the day started with lost of kind entering the gates. As usual it was Family Fun Day, but this time, they got a lovely plush toy (yes, a pony) with their paid admission. They were so cute that I really wanted one for my own! Kids were playing with the little brown horses everywhere!

   Then, as I told you, it was Jockey Photo Day. Fans were making line for more than an hour to be the first ones to have a picture with athletes like Joe Talamo, Julien Leparoux, Rafael Bejarano, Alonso Quinonez, Brice Blanc, Kayla Stra and others! They gave autographs, took lots of pictures and had fun with their little and big fans.

    As you can imagine, it was all smiles around the track and the races haven't even started at that time.

    Then the races came, but if you think that the fun ended with the races... well, there was one more even to keep having fun.

    The Paddock Horse Sale started 20 minutes after the last race. On its second year, the event was conducted again by Barrets Equine Limited, the most important company if its kind in California.

    27 out-of-state horses were eligible for this auction sale, but only 17 were bought, since 2 horses were withdrawn and 8 were not sold.

    All of them  were also good for the "Ship and Win" Program that this track is promoting to draw more horses to the races.  In total, $1,275,400 were spent that day.

     The most expensive horse was OSCAR PARTY Mad, a 3-year-old filly by DIXIE UNION, sold for $510,000 to trainer James Cassidy, who expects to tun this filly during the current meet of Del Mar.

    This week there will be a lot going on at the track also, but I'll let you know in the next days.

    Today there are 8 races, including the Wickerr Stakes and there's a Pick-6 carryover from last Sunday of $238,499... here are your picks for this Wednesday:
