HORSE RACING

TODAY AT DEL MAR

By Richard Eng

Post Time 2 p.m.

Race 1 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $45,000, Claiming $50,000, 4-year-olds and up

Forest Phantom - This has the look of a fire drill leaving the starting gate; Bejarano will sit chilly and make one big run.

Exceeding - Perfect trip win last time with Joe Talamo taking advantage of a fast race shape; he figures to be flattered too.

Long Shot - Capt. Joe Blow

Race 2 - 5 furlongs (turf), Purse $56,000, Optional claiming $40,000, 3-year-olds and up

Mt. Orient - Mike Mitchell turns him back in distance where he figures to stalk the early pace; like that he hires Gomez.

Wiredfortwotwenty - Logical chalk is wired big time for early speed; big test facing winners for the first time.

Long Shot - Belafonte

Race 3 - 1 mile, Purse $53,000, Maiden special weights, Fillies, 2-year-olds

Grey Chatlaine - Ran green as grass in debut; she broke poorly, Gomez let her settle in arrears, then she took off in the lane.

Century Park - Good try last time when she gave way grudgingly; Bob Baffert takes the blinkers off so she'll see her enemies.

Long Shot - Scarbourough Fair

Race 4 - 1 1/16th miles, Purse $20,000, Claiming $12,500, 4-year-olds and up

Smoocher - Despite a slow early pace, he inhaled the field easily in last; Garrett Gomez remains loyal to the cause.

Brave Sun - Slid down the claiming ladder until he found a level he could compete; switch to Espinoza for the money shot.

Long Shot - The Supply Program

Race 5 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, Cal-breds, 3-year-olds and up

Kaptain Kordough - Ran a winning race last time for this level; loses Bejarano to the chalk, which will only help his price.

Major Smoke - The money is sure to follow Bejarano on this favorite; colt should appreciate the turn back in distance here.

Long Shot - Flier Money

Race 6 - 6 1/2 furlongs, Purse $38,000, Claiming $32,000, 3-year-olds

South Bay Scoty - Moves from the rail to the parking lot, which in this case will help; Bejarano stalks and pounces late.

Storm Brave - Big class drop can only help his cause; you'll get an inflated price because Arambula replaces Garrett Gomez.

Long Shot - Suit Yourself

Race 7 - 1 mile, $100,000 Torrey Pines, Fillies, 3-year-olds

Golden Doc A - Freshened 3-months since a miserable try at Belmont; she's trained forwardly and is reunited with Bejarano.

Miss Singhsix - She won like a very talented filly last time for Paddy Gallagher; this will be a good litmus test for her.

Long Shot - Distant Victory

Race 8 - 5 1/2 furlongs, Purse $50,000, Maiden special weights, 2-year-olds

Princeandrew - FTS from the Bob Baffert barn looks like he's a runner; Las Vegas Don Stanley is a co-owner of this colt.

Details R Sketchy - Been working forwardly for Carla Gaines, enough to draw the attention of Garrett Gomez; watch the board.

Long Shot - Ridin' Hard

Race 9 - 1 1/8th (turf), $350,000 Del Mar Derby, 3-year-olds

Nownownow - This is a grade 1 turf horse going off at 6/1 odds today; reunited with the very talented Julien Leparoux.

Gio Ponti - Logical chalk off some fine graded stakes wins back east; Christopher Clement has earned our respect.

Long Shot - Blue Chagall

Race 10 - 6 furlongs, Purse $22,000, Claiming $16,000, 4-year-olds and up

Common Trust - Reclaimed by Jeff Mullins, one of the strongest trainer angles there is; he ran his best races in that barn.

Caddymaster - Lots of value for a last out winner claimed by Jerry Hollendorfer; he's got plenty of room to improve.

Long Shot - Jamie

Best Bet - Golden Doc A (race 7)

Del Mar Saturday- Picks/Winners/Mutuels, 17/3/$29.40; Long Shots, 9/2/$21.00; Best Bet, 0/0/$0

Del Mar Totals - 643/156/$1,062.20; Long Shots, 331/47/$574.60; Best Bets, 39/12/$58.40
