Horses from Shore to Shore

Sunday, the last day of our horse racing weekend. Today we look at a nice New Jersey allowance race at Monmouth Park and a Grade 3 at Del Mar, the Rancho Bernardo.

Monmouth Park Race 8 {1 mile 70 yards~3 year old Up~NJ~Allowance}
A field of nine are to run in this race.  There are two in here that have a solid edge over the balance of the field.  Either one could pull off the victory.  Goombada Guska (Bravo / Volk) looks ready with the highest (tie) last out speed number, a three race progression, and four athletic workouts.  Cause I Can (Trujillo / Ritvo) will get first jump on the field in the stretch also with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and two strong workouts.  Irish Eddie K (Coa / Aristone) is coming off a longer route with a decent last out speed number and one nice workout.  King Bling (Marquez / Fuchs) shows the fourth highest speed number at the distance and a bullet workout.  Refuge (Figueroa / McBurney)  will run well with a decent last out speed number coming off a longer route and two hearty workouts.  Let's play Monmouth Park.

$2 SHOW:  #2 Cause I Can.
10 CENT Superfecta:  #3 Goombada Guska, #2 Cause I Can / #3, #2 / #4 Irish Eddie K / #5 King Bling, #9 Refuge.

Del Mar Race 4 {Rancho Bernardo~G3~6 1/2 furlongs~fillies/mares~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A small field of five will go to the gate in this graded stakes race.  This will be a very competitive race, though Alpha Kitten (Rosario / Sadler) holds a slight edge with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four strenuous workouts.  Sweet August Moon (Espinoza / Koriner) will challenge with the highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and four robust, peaking workouts.  Silver Swallow (Quinonez / Headly) will also be in the hunt for the victory with the highest speed number at the distance couple with  two for two record over the distance.  She has a two race progression and four well-built, peaking workouts.  Let's have fun at Del Mar.

$2 SHOW:  #2 Alpha Kitten.
$2 SHOW:  #4 Sweet August Moon.
NO 10 CENT Superfecta due to the small field.
