HORSE RACING
TODAY AT DEL MAR
By Richard Eng
Post Time 2 p.m.
Race 1 - 5 furlongs (turf), Purse $62,000, Optional claiming $62,500, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up
Flashover - Barry Abrams has pointed his Unusual Heat get for this meet; proven she can fire well fresh.
Schill - Logical chalk has already had a long hard campaign; key is she tries hard every time out.
Long Shot - Air Fair
Race 2 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $42,000, Maiden claiming $100,000, Fillies, 2-year-olds
Whyprincesswhy - The education of one race can make a big difference; Joe Talamo had a big opening day.
Miss Heather Lee - Exits the same race as Whyprincesswhy; thus if you like one you should like the other too.
Long Shot - Imperatriz
Race 3 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $27,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up
On Fire - Has turned in some good tries since moving to SoCal; Barry Abrams spots him to be a tough guy.
Saint Paul - Speedball figures to be all alone on the lead; key will be where he is in the deep stretch.
Long Shot - Spinning Sound
Race 4 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $27,000, Maiden claiming $50,000, 2-year-olds
Mytigersnosissy - FTS from Peter Miller; he figures to have this one ready, hired to rider Garrett Gomez.
Saarface - Taking the biggest class drop in racing from MSW to maiden claiming; has some early speed.
Long Shot - Amore Di Aleyna
Race 5 - 6 furlongs, Purse $16,000, Claiming $10,000, Fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up
Dine At Nine - Horses aren't dropped at Del Mar to be claimed; they are dropped down in class to win.
Steppin Out Rose - She ran great at Del Mar last summer; Bob Hess brings mare back off a 7-month hiatus.
Long Shot - Flower Fusion
Race 6 - 1 mile, Purse $24,000, Claiming $16,000, 3-year-olds
Form a Posse - Ran well here as a 2-YO; last turf race was for show, today's synthetic race is for the dough.
Uncle Jeep - Logical chalk has tactical speed to sit a nice trip; bad news on opening day for Rafael Bejarano.
Long Shot - White Lace Jimmy
Race 7 - 1 3/8th miles (turf), Purse $60,000, 3-year-olds and up
Itsnotjustagame - Ground saving rail trip for Corey Nakatani; he needs to start riding like he means it.
Master Daniel - Freshened 4-months by Doug O'Neill to ready for this; runs first time for a price tag.
Long Shot - Kris Silver
Race 8 - 7 furlongs, Purse $19,000, 3-year-olds and up
Pacific Halo - Tyler Baze rode on opening day like he has the track figured out; blinkers on could help.
Domestic Brew - Ran OK in last considering he was on grass and in MSW class; finds his comfort level here.
Long Shot - Waves of Honour
Best Bet - On Fire (race 3)
Del Mar Wednesday - Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 18/4/$49.00; Long Shots, 10/2/$27.60; Best Bet, 1/0/$0
