M/L favorites in the final 2 races today (DEL MAR)
 

Race 10- BOOMPA

He's been 2nd 4 times in a row (twice as chalk.) To me, it's mainly because he runs with his head up. The other horses have their head n' legs out in front of them, and BOOMPA has to try to beat them with that (mainly) up n' down action. I toss these hi-headed horses out. jmo

Race 9- FORAY

Sadler/Hronis Racing bought this horse after it easily broke it's maiden on the turf at Delaware. It was quite an effort. From gate to wire this horse was all in. Used a real quick hi-headed stride. He tried hard. I guess he could win again, but that hi headed action can get him tagged, too. I'll pass.

*rubs eyes* Can it be???

:tro:

Off the 9 month freshening!

:tro::tro::$:!!

Good calls! Foray went off as the 2nd fav at 3-1 and finished 10th of 11, beaten 7.5 lengths by the 9th place horse.

Boompa went off as the 3rd fav at 5-1, and the first 3 favs finished in betting order. So the bettors had it pretty well capped. Boompa missed 1st place by over 10 lengths.


Nice return effort, but the question now is will Scuds improve with his 2nd off the layoff, or will he bounce?

LOL....Well Martin Garcia was jealous of Espinoza getting his filly to beat Beholder. So, he was not gunna let Foray get ahead of his horse. So, have to see how Foray does in a more pace friendly spot (he'll probably be able to get one off of this unthreatening performance.) He has more ability than that.
