Del Mar
Race 9
An allowance-optional claiming race to be run on the turf at five furlongs. Top choice is No. 8 Thanks. Mr. Eidson. He’s not necessarily the best horse on paper, but he’ll surely benefit from an insane speed duel on the front end. And given the ride we got from Juan Hernandez yesterday, we’ll go back to a proven formula. No. 1 Seven Scents is another one who can benefit from a crazy pace. No. 6 Brickyard Ride is the fastest of the speedy types. If he breaks well given the short distance of this event, he may run them off their feet while the others run out of distance.
