Thursday August 15 Del Mar Picks

Hello everyone
Paddock Girl here:

   Well, definitely there was some controversy during the  Green Flash Handicap, yesterday's featured race. DISTINCTIV PASSION (Maldonado)  got disqualified after "blocking" STRONG WIND (Stevens)  for a better finish position, which ended in giving  SIRROCO STRIKE and jockey Julien Leparoux the glory.            Most fans don't agree that the Stewards ruling was correct, since they've been so many cases when the same situation has gone without any ruling... and because a lot of them lost the Pick-6 because of it.  However, the Stewards are responsible of these kind of decisions... what do you think?

   Thinking on today races, let me tell you that there's no carryover for today. 20 winning tickets took more than $57,000 each after getting the winners yesterday, including the Green Flash Handicap. Nonetheless,  here are your picks for this Thursday:

Race 1: JEDI MIND TRICK, ECHO ZULU... include TIZOUTTASIGHT in your 'fectas.

Race 2: ANALEMMA, PLEASANT MISS... include ONE MORE WILD RIDE and LAROCCO in your 'fectas.

Race 3: TWO BLUE HEMS, WISHCRAFT ... include SIDEBAR in your 'fectas.

Race 4: VINDICTED RULER, SERIOUS... include PENNIES FOR DENNY in your 'fectas.

Race 5: HOPE N' PRAY, PREACHER'S BUFF... include FULL N' KRISS in your 'fectas.

Race 6: JAY'S FIRETRUCK, LITE THAT BABY UP, ... include NOBLE KENT and PORCHETTO in your 'fectas.

Race 7: VIBRATO JAZZ, SUMERIAN... include NOBILIS and UNUSUAL BEAM in your 'fectas.

Race 8: STORMING LUTE, NICHOLAS M.... include JIMMY THE WHIP in your 'fectas.


By the way, todays is the last day for nominations for the Stakes races during August 25 (yes, that means the Pacific Classic)... can;t wait to know which horses will be included at the end; I mean, besides GAME ON DUDE and DULLAHAN!
