Horse Racing

Post Time 2 p.m.

Race 1 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Tuba Man – Last race was actually his worst speed figure; has plenty of faster races to run back to, and win.

Big Revolution – Favorite has been away more than 2-years; may be well meant, but you take rust at a short price.

Long Shot – Action in Motion

Race 2 – 5 furlongs (turf, rail at 14 feet), Purse $59,000, Optional claiming $62,500, 3-year-olds and up

Quick Enough – Got bottled up in traffic, more than once, last time; outside draw for a clear, albeit wide, trip.

Ron Bob and Dave – Draws the rail in this abbreviated turf sprint; simple tactics for Rafael Bejarano, just go.

Long Shot – Winter Camp

Race 3 – 6 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, Fillies and mares, 3-year-olds and up

Backstreet Dancer – Since the ones with experience show little, this FTS need not be much to dominate this group.

Tiz o’ Gold – Typical green career debut; ran slow early, found her best stride late, expect improvement.

Long Shot – Kiss My Swiss

Race 4 – 6 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Quoted – Doug O’Neill claimed for $40K, now drops down for $25K; he’s not sentimental, he’ll drop down to win.

Arkham Asylum – Been working the entire meet at Del Mar for Ted West; finally starts during the final week.

Long Shot – Silver Squall

Race 5 – 6 furlongs, Purse $21,000, Claiming $12,500, 3-year-olds

Seeuat Sticknstein – Another Doug O’Neill drop down; he’s culling his stock before Fairplex, winning races too.

Days of Lightning – Speedball tactics will provide the target for all; goes as fast and as far as he can.

Long Shot – Purse Luva

Race 6 – 1 mile (turf, rail at 14 feet), Purse $57,000, Optional claiming $25,000, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Unusual Smoke – Another favorite taking a huge class drop the final week of Del Mar; goes home for a new barn.

My Boy Walsh – Closer with good tactical speed for Rafael Bejarano; will sit a trip and come grinding late.

Long Shot – Lodi Red

Race 7 – 6 furlongs, $100,000 Generous Portion, Cal-breds, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Faisca – Improving sort in a real dart throw of a race; was flattered when Cayanna won next out, switch to Joel Rosario.

Perfect Curls – Tepid chalk gets a huge rider switch to Rafael Bejarano; 2-time stakes winner has her hands full.

Long Shot – Swiss Wild Cat

Race 8 – 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $20,000, Maiden claiming $25,000, 3-year-olds and up

Warren’s Payday – Leap of faith in good work tab from Robert Troger FTS; has had a fine meet from limited starters.

Three Pointer – If Tuba Man wins race 1, then his stock goes up; both were beaten by impossible long shot Ralphie’s Ole.

Long Shot – Trueno

Best Bet – Tuba Man (race 1)

Del Mar Sunday – Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 18/3/$13.20; Long Shots, 7/4/$39.80; Best Bet, 1/1/$5.00
