Top 10 Handicapping Angles to Picking Winners at the Del Mar Summer Meet
By Today's Racing Digest | July 23, 2025
Escape Artist: A Good Versatile Winner From 8 – 9 Furlongs Upcoming Race: Del Mar July 25, 2025
Three year old colt for Mike McCarthy made start #2 on Saturday at 9 furlongs on the grass in a maiden special weight. Off as the 5/2 choice in a field of 11, he broke well under Johnny V and laid 3rd into the clubhouse turn just 3 lengths back of the leaders. He stayed […] Read More
What’s Up Bro: Held By Jock While Full of Run. Upcoming Race: Saratoga July 24, 2025
Set the pace in his last start, but was allowed to track the leaders in this spot. He likely gained a lot of experience points as he was firmly held by the jock for the first three furlongs while seemingly full of run. Entering the stretch, he still had to wait for clear sailing, but […] Read More
Runandscore: Off The Screen Around Far Turn But Ralled For 2nd Upcoming Race: Parx July 22, 2025
Second-timer from Turfway was off the screen around the far turn, but he started his rally just before entering the stretch. He was really moving well in the stretch especially when he moved to the faster outside and he just got up for 2nd. Was it the mud, experience, switch to the dirt that made […] Read More
Austonian: Has Talent While Tough to Hold In Next Start Upcoming Race: Gulfstream Park July 27, 2025
Three year old colt for Brian Koriner made his debut on Sunday in a maiden special weight for Cal bred sophomores at ¾ on the main. Bet heavy right from the get go, he went off as the 3/5 choice in a field of six. He broke outward and a step slow from the outside […] Read More
Swift Tap: Wide Throughout Trip While Track Favored the Inside Upcoming Race: Delaware Park July 23, 2025
A gelding who was awful in his last two starts may have been the winner in this affair if not for a wide-throughout trip over a track that favored the inside. He did show his usual early speed as a four horse duel developed as they left the chute and he was in the five-path […] Read More
Irish Honor: May Need a Race on the Outside Upcoming Race: Parx July 23, 2025
Looked like a green 2-year-old up the backstretch with his head held up high while dropping back to near the back around the turn under the whip. However, he was steered to the outside entering the stretch and rallied well to finish 2nd behind a runaway winner. The gelding must not like the kickback and […] Read More
Lucky Lucky Luke: Trouble Breaking But Showed Unexpected Early Speed Upcoming Race: Delaware Park July 24, 2025
This guy showed zero early speed in his first two starts, but he took over the lead leaving the first turn with a three wide move despite a troubled break. Whether this was by design or not, this was a position he was not used to and he had little left as they entered the […] Read More
Kuchar: A Victim of “Ortiz Drift” Can Improve In Next Start Upcoming Race: Saratoga July 26, 2025
Comebacker was a victim of the “Ortiz drift” in the stretch and this may have cost him the race. There was clear sailing in between horses, before Ortiz drifted out causing Kuchar to steady a bit in midstretch. The jock was going to go in between horses once again, but the gap closed and he […] Read More
Devil Among Us: 3rd Off The Pace Turning Home But No Way Around Upcoming Race: Del Mar July 25, 2025
Three year old colt for Phil D’Amato tried the 1st allowance condition for Cal Breds on Saturday at ¾ on the turf. Off at 2/1 in a field of 9, he broke OK under J.J. and sat third down the back side three off the pace. He had horse turning for home, but the jock […] Read More
Ransomware: This One Sets Him Up Nicely For Allowance Conditions Upcoming Race: Ellis Park July 27, 2025
Three year old colt for Phil D’Amato, off since December, made the 4th start of his career on Sunday in the ungraded Desert Code stakes at six and a half down the hill for three year olds. Off as the longest price in the field at 17/1 of the six. He broke OK under Vasquez, […] Read More
