Del Mar Race Track - August 3, 2008 R5

Del Mar
August 3, 2008, Race 5

Foul Play - The last two races were impressive and have the same connections. The fact that he gets to go a 1/16th of a mile less today will help him given that he is breaking from the rail and Potts will most likely send him. Furthermore, they 86 Beyer Speed Figure he received on 6/15 may be a little higher (90-92) based on GiftHorseRacing Speed Figures. The pick.

Kingsburg - Might suprise given that he has never tried polytrack, and does run decent numbers down at Turf Paradise. Can't eliminate completely, but stand against until I see him run on the polytrack.

Seven Secrets and Return of the King - They both ran on 3/16 at Santa Anita in a 6F race about 3 lengths slower than Scottish Diamond who also ran a 6F race that day. Return of the King might be improving so I give him a chance, but stand against Seven Secrets.

Scottish Diamond - According to GiftHorseRAcing Speed Figures, Foul Play is just a little quicker, and I don't like the last race, he should've shown just a little more. Pass.

Jack's Kid - This horse's last Beyer of 87 may be closer to 90 based on GiftHorseRacing Speed Figures. He loves synthetic surfaces. Contender.

Foul Play, Jack's Kid (1)
