A Little Turf and Surf

Today we enjoy a little Turf at Monmouth Park and a little synthetic route near the surf at Del Mar.

Monmouth Park Race 10 {5 furlongs~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Allowance}
A closely matched field of nine go to the gate in this Turf sprint.  Wardelle (Serpa / H. Carroll) appears to have a slight edge with the best overall speed number at the distance and two peaking workouts.  She will be motoring on the front end along with a few others.  She'sa Tough Tiger (Trujillo / Hills) looks great with a decent last out speed number, a two race progression, and one peaking workout.  Jazzy Jordan (P. Lopez / Maker) has drawn into this race.  She looks ready to drop into a shorter sprint with a decent last out speed number and three hearty workouts.  Pascal's Paradox (Bravo / Tammaro) looks tough with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and a fantastic 100% in the money record over nine races.  Let's enjoy the Turf at Monmouth Park.
