we move in the penultimate week of racing at del mar and the card is short, but betable. let's see what we can muster up here to end the meet in style.
r3: go girl go. next to the bottom 20k claimers attempt to navigate six furlongs without dropping dead. pammyy n' cami will e favored and will be in front turning for home, but she hasn't won at this level before and meets some other speed in here who will at least force her to run faster to clear. at 4/5, i wouldn't bet her with your money. go girl go has that speed and shortens up from running on the pace at a mile, which is a very productive angle to bet.
r5: alternate verse. we all know that hendricks is no great shakes with first timers, but he can pop up every now and again and this daughter of benchmark looks live in this sad bunch of maidens. benchmark was best known for routing on dirt, but he's been a fairly productive win early sire for his breeders, the wygods, and i look for this one to run well in here. now, better not, from the extremely good debut barn of wesley warn has the breeding by in excess and the sizzling gate work, but i don't trust atkinson to get her out on the lead. yeah, if she breaks, she's probably gone, but there's little margin for error in these types of races. i'll take the benchmark firster at a price and hope she comes running in the last 16th.
r6: amerindio. hey, have i got a deal for you. a six year old with a 12k bankrolll from argentina, packing high-weight. sounds like a bargain, eh? well, this is a play against montbretia, who i loved last time and now steps up to meet elders (ok, one elder with the scratch of forward march). amerindio worked an amazing 110 and 3/5 last week; that's right 1:10 and 3/5. now there's two ways that can go; it either shows tremendous ability or means he left his race on the track and will run dead last. i'm voting for the former as i try to beat this darley/harty horse who figures around 7/5 in here in his first try vs. winners. sure, montbretia can win, but amerindio will be winging early and while there is some speed in here, he can probably get the lead with a clean break. the other one to look at is woke up dreamin from the baffert barn. i mention him only b/c you'll get baffert at a price and he has shown some ability last year and he also worked a ridiculous 1:10 and 3. that's a race horse working. that was a week ago, and though he's had time to recover, he hasn't been out in 10 months, and that makes me weary. amerindio had a blowout after his big work and has been on the shelf since march.
that's it today.
