Saratoga + Del Mar Saturday

[The Spaniard]

SARATOGA R4: regally bred and for turf, :1: SUPREME COMMANDER makes a quick return to the track for John Shirreffs conservative standars. That means he comes from an educational race, and today going pretty long first time turf he should show a very diferent face. Shirreffs very profitable with this dirt to turf move.

NP

He's run like Eblouissante, maybe the barn is still ice cold

[judd]

race 7 no 10 box office w-p-s

[The Spaniard]

SARATOGA R7: :7: KING BALTHASAR can become a tough frontrunner after improving 10 points last time out (69 > 79)

NP

[The Spaniard]

SARATOGA R8: :1: PLAINVIEW seems to hold his super form from 2 races back (47.00 B). :2: SACHEM SPIRIT for the exacta box first time Christophe Clement.

1st ($7.60) & 3rd

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R1: :7: ROMANTIC WISH likes Del Mar and should improve a ton first time for Bill Spawr.

NP

a living dead...

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R2: Favorite (4)AMERICAN PRIDE returns to the track in 13 days, too soon. :2: FOREVER JUANITO should improve over polytrack and might profit any weakness of Bob Baffert's colt

1st ($12.00)

[The Spaniard]

SARATOGA R10: :5: PALACE MALICE seems to me the best horse and here will have a good pace to close at. The price is cheap but I buy it.

win

1st ($4.20)

DEL MAR R2: Favorite (4)AMERICAN PRIDE returns to the track in 13 days, too soon. :2: FOREVER JUANITO should improve over poly track and might profit any weakness of Bob Baffert's colt

Good Call Spaniard

[kipdog99]

on fire spaniard!

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R3: one last opportunity to :3: SECRET MEMO, who ran good races on this polytrack las summer in MSWts and was well bet first off the layoff

NP

[The Spaniard]

SARATOGA 10: :10: CHRISTIESBORNTORUN back on turf should win. (9)SHMOOZ TALKER shows high Beyers lately and could complete the exacta box

NP & 2nd

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R4: the workouts of speedy (4)SWEET MARINI over this polytrack are pretty slow and favorite :6: DOINGHARDTIMEAGAIN is impossible to oppose.

NP

fantastic ride of Martin García!

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R5: an impossible puzzle. :10: AMULATE best race was routing on synthetics. He's on a diet of 6 and 7f workouts, so he should have stamina to spare in a field with some sprinter stretching out maybe the pace is lively and this stamina required. Why not??

NP

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R6: :3: CHIEF LION is by Wildcat Heir, who shows a very strong 17% debut winners. Harty Eoin is patient with his novice runners, but this colt has shown high speed in the morning (34.4 bullet) and good ability too when training long (59.4 > 1.13 bullet). He could upset Baffert's favorite.

win/show

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R7: :2: TOM'S TRIBUTE's got a right pedigree for turf routing, by a Storm Cat stallion (Storm Cat = all surfaces) 2nd in the Kentucky Derby, and a turf sprinter from the Saddler's Well's (stamina) line.

Looks terrific in the post parade.

win

2nd, David Flores so awful

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R8: :3: PAYNTER is an special horse and should win after his 114 Beyer first time synthetic. (1)KETTEL CORN and (6)CLUBHOUSE RIDE both ran a hard race in the Gold Cup 20 days ago... not enough time to fully recuperate. :4: LIAISON is another top synthetic horse and can complete the second leg of the cold exacta.

exacta :3: - :4:

[The Spaniard]

DEL MAR R9: speedy and running well in stakes and OC 80.000 :1: SOUTH FLOYD is a must for the exacta. I like the works pattern of :8: CORSA DI CAVALLI: 1.14.3 > 13.2 > 1.12.3), he's going to run well after the long vacation.

exacta box[ :1: - :8:

3rd and 1st
tough day, good night
