Del Mar Race 1

#1 Persuasive Cat TO WIN

6 deserves to be favored but I don’t like the 3 or 4 and the 1 should have twice as good of odds as the 9. Drayden loves Del Mar, this is a 220k Keeneland purchase with good pedigree...worth a shot on an unknown in a pretty open race

 

[John Kelly]

Good luck, Weinke.

First post is set for 12:30 p.m. PT.

Shoulda just taken the 6...that was dumb

Woulda, shoulda, coulda...the horseplayer's refrain.

Keep your head up, Weinke.

Aqua race 4

#13 Rag Top TO WIN

 

[WeinketoWarrick]

Terrible ride by Castellano. Goes 4/5 wide the entire way when there was really no need to at all. A saving ground trip coming in to the rail out of the break and that horse wins easy. Frustrating.
