Saturday August 17 Del Mar Picks (Includes Arlington picks)

Good morning everyone,
Paddock Girl here:

    Today is a very good day at Del Mar, Arlington and Saratoga. Plenty of good races and great horses, what's not to love about that? 

    Let's start with Del Mar, where there's plenty of action going on.  Today there are 10 races and several activities around them.  

  

   "Grill Fest" will make hungry people happy! Over 25 season barbecue grills and a couple of chefs will be available to grill everything they can (be aware haha). You can buy 5 portions of their creations for just $10.

     As usual, Steel Pulse let people happy after their concert. Hundreds gathered to enjoy their music (yes, at some point the smell was funny, but the music was good!)

     If you couldn't be there, don't worry, tonight is also concert night. This time, "Weezer" will be playing at the Seaside Stage after the races.... and even though their music is very different from "Steel Pulse", I can guarantee you that you'll have a great time. "Weezer" is also a crowd pleaser and Del Mar fans love them.

   Like I mentioned, today there are 10 races, including the Del Mar Oaks, where KITTEN'S DUMPLINGS is the current favorite.
