Delmar Friday

5)  Otro Mas seems to catch a terrific set up as the only closer in a need the lead field, yet is just too cheap,

so taking the ALL button and hope our opinions later pan out.

6)  Maiden fillies, staters, 3yo+ brings no 4yo's!  Rail is way out and all the speed is way outside.  Taking a pair of inside homers.

Lavender Love makes voyage number two after showing little @20-1, a big number for Richie, very solid works since, stretches,

pedigree power and got a lot out of her debut.  French Moonlight has also shown little in both her trips, off two months, blinkers off for this,

Half to a Grade one victress, boy stays, expecting big improvement.

Fleet Treat    LADY MENDELSSOHN  looks the days best.  Sale topper, needed her first sprint, scored when stretched, 60 days off, solid

third in flipped race, went to dirt, solid third in stake against several in here.  Seems to me Berrios did not get along with this one and switch to

Rispoli warranted.  Carla adds shades for this and morning drills with the hood have improved this one immensely.

8)  8K Cerin always an enigma brought this one back after frshening for 25K, good third, then ran this 6 timer back in a pair of no chance spots,

last in for 20 no interest, drops to the bottom, working lousy, then blew up the track in last saturdays work?  One to beat.  Also Mother's Parayer who should be OK from the outside with his tactical speed.

all / 1,2 / 7 / 2,10  bbb

 Modest attempt at best, do not do well with claimers at boutique meets, few people do.  Not a single claim?  Three rejected.

Cold cocked the maiden, yet fumbled the stake thinking: JOY with Kent dusted off would be 50 cents on the dollar, especially

with a strong opinion the Hines shipper had little chance.  Single was OK, tho would have liked one run rather than wide stalk; would not have threatened the winner however.  READ day tomorrow, always do wel..  bbb

@bellsbendboy

 Not much for key races, though there was a zinger in Louisville this spring, can't remember the winner's name, guessing "Molly Morgan" maybe a 1x.    Opening leg of this pick 4, will likely be a race to circle, a very, on paper, loaded maiden, 3yo=+, 6.5f. 

To wit:

Winner  600K 2yo buy, Pegram, Baffert, JJ, been burning up the track in the am.  Air mailed, wins her next wherever she shows up.

Runnerup:  575K Twirlin C, on board all three trips, Beyers would win most stakes.

Show filly,  Nyquist homer out of a grade one winner, the master trains, needs more real estate, green better than not

4th Serious pedigree, papa bear, homer, Mikey, monster morning drills.  Then the very competent others.

Eddie Read    Best bet in racing, or at least a very profitable one is lone speed, goin long on the lawn with the rail out.  Mikey's charge from GAP fit the bill, Mikey still as good as any, walked the dog, 3/4's in 1:13 and a long in the tooth moved to early came up outside at the quarter pole, Mikey floated him out , rail opened , big horse exploed thru. Multiple grade one victor, last 3/8's in some :34 flat. Sick.

Nw/2 10K  Awful.   Pretty confident with the trio.  Sweeney ships and wins not changing leads the entire stretch.  "Sads" claims this one???  For what?

Bought the hype, Danny's homer had an eventful debut, ducking out as bad as you can, remarkable horsemanship to stay up, somehow got in the race,

closed thru horses to be beat a half length in a time that would crush these.  Off Ok, green as a gourd, ears a flippin, lead changes poor, up front weakened late.  The winner spent four juvy race on dirt with a total grass on grass distance pedigree.  First try there, beaten in a pic at 30-1.  Four similar, solid voyages since placings, JJ up, shades off, done deal. bbb
