Superfecta Sunday on the Turf

 We look in on a nice Turf race in Southern California.

Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Race 9 {1 1/16 mile~TURF~3 year-old Up~Allowance / Claiming}

A hefty field of twelve will hit the green in this lucky last on the card.

Past Performance used:  Equibase.

There is plenty of speed to develop a frothy pace. Only three have yet to race on the Del Mar Turf. Those that have raced over the surface have had some measure of success. Speed numbers are very close. It should be a very good race.

#5 Maltese Falcon [IRE] (T. Baze / Powell) comes in with the third highest last out speed number at a longer route and one strong workout. This guy will track the pace and strike going into the stretch. He loves the surface, distance, and course. A son of Caravaggio, he is 60% in the money from ten starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#9 X J Rascal [IRE] (G. Franco / Mulhall) should be part of the speed team on the front-end. He holds the highest last out speed number and two sound workouts. This guy has done well over the Turf, at the distance, and over the Del Mar course. A son of Kodiac [GB], he is 66% in the money from twelve starts.

#7 Hawker (Rispoli / Sadler) will stretch out to this distance and enjoy it. He should track the pace closely and find an opening in the stretch. This colt holds the the second highest (tie) last out speed number and has two high strength workouts. A son of Justify, he is 28% in the money from seven starts.

#3 Lil Nas (JJ Hernandez / Sadler) will battle on the front-end. This lad shows a decent last out speed number and three strong workouts. He holds the highest speed number (tie) over the Turf among this group. A son of He Be Fire N Ice, he is 40% in the money from ten starts.

Other Wagering Interests

#8 Irish Prophet (I Ortiz / Drysdale) has the tactical speed to take advantage of any pace. A son of Irish Surf, he is 30% in the money from ten career starts.

#4 Shortman (Herrera / Naranjo) will track and close galantly sharing the second highest last out speed number and two superb workouts. A son of Prince of Love, he is 37% in the money from twenty-four starts.
