Notable
• Del Mar announced the on-track handle for the day was $16,131,880, up 14 percent over
last year. The on-track crowd was down 3 percent.
• There were two winning Pick Six tickets that paid $45,744.60 each.
• There were no apparent injuries on the track, though one horse created a wild scene in the paddock before the fourth race. The Peter Miller-trained Flying to the Line, a 2-year-old filly appearing in her second race, refused to be walked, and then she reared up when apprentice jockey Heriberto Figueroa tried to get into the saddle. Figueroa sprang off just before Flying to the Line fell backward. The dazed horse was helped up, and though she didn’t appear to suffer an injury, she was scratched from the race.
