Compared to some years in recent memory, surprisingly big fields for the Del Cap card. Looks to be a good day.

The Delaware Handicap is a bunch of horses that take turns beating each other, and then there is Rosalind who competed against different horses.

Maybe Rosalind will prove just as average as them, but I think she has a slight class edge.

Quick turnaround for Normandy Invasion after the long layoff.

After trying to handicap the card, my enthusiasm for the field sizes at Delaware has been severely tempered. Outside a few in the stakes races, these are some slow horses (I didn't know it was even possible to run a negative BrisNet speed fig). If anybody hits the pick 5, they are either a genius or one lucky SOB.

This means nothing regarding his chances today, but he somehow got caught 8 WIDE on the first turn last time, in a 3 horse race:zz:

Yeah I watched the race. It would matter if the winner wasn't the one who went 7 wide.

Silly of him to make any excuse for Normandy. Why take this horse from Chad? Bad management if you ask me.

Is there a reason why there were so many scratches in the last race at Delaware?

No idea, but Normandy Invasion is burning up some serious money lately.
