DEL MAR
RACE 1
NO. 4 BROTHER SOLDIER: There have been claims galore in the last weeks of Santa Anita as owners and trainers are looking to pluck some gems out of the depleted ranks before heading to the ocean and the big purses at Del Mar. One trainer who has been snatching some cheap runners is Robertino Diodoro who just claimed this one for $10k. Diodoro is a sneaky good trainer, who will have this one spotted for the win and give him a big rider upgrade. $$$
RACE 10
NO. 6 BUNDESLIGA: First time starter for Baffert running in a $20k maiden claimer. She took some action but bobbled at the start. Made a big five wide move on the turn but had too much work to do and settled for third money.
