The first real race at Del Mar.
$100K at stake, but very much more. This at least G3 if not G2 level competition.
Arms Runner: 2 for 2 and taking a natural step up to the next level. This $525K purchase has to be respected.
Bird is the Word: Getting into some recent solid form. Overbet? Likely. Can he step up to this class and really contend?
Vending Machine: Really tough read. Bejarano excited about mounts this meet.
Bowies Hero: Phil obviously likes this colt. The Artie Schiller at a straight Mile could be his calling, and connections have fired as much.
Pioneer Lad: Supposedly outclassed, but this is an improving sort heading into its 5th lifetime race. Fired a bullet, Baze in line.
Rockin Rudy: Gets back to turf where he likes to run. Big odds for a turf horse that could wire the field.
Allaboutmike: Only real question is if he can get a mile.
Lucky Bode: Just broke his maiden. Could he possibly beat a field like this?
Placido: Will be overbet.
Grecian Fire: Could limp in to exotics.
Caribou Club: Real contender to win
In hist 11th race, he just broke his Maiden in the States. Pass.
Monster Man: Rabbit
May Man Chuckles: Have to include in exotics. MUST include
Harbour Master: Pass
