July 25th Del Mar recap + July 26th preview

Del Mar review (July 25th)

The Wickerr Handicap was impossibly close with pacesetter One Union nostrilizing four others, including a very unlucky and surging Awesome Gem.
Nobody came up with all […]

Del Mar recap: Day 4 Saturday July 19th - San Diego Handicap

Day 4 of the Del Mar meet is in the books, and the Pick 6 was nailed despite a huge upset in the Osunitas Hcp by 43-1 outsider Zardana (Gryder/McAnally).
