The winners appear to be cutting back in distance and have a stronger foundation. Understand that these horses have not been training over this track and it is different that Cushion track at Hollywood Park. The trainers that stayed at Santa Anita didn't do well at all when they raced at Hollywood and I expect the same with the change to Poly track at Del Mar. I will start looking for form reversals from second time out horses at Del Mar plus the cut back in distance and just add the class = winners.
