$117,822 Del Mar Pick 6 Carryover – Aug 5
Wednesday (8-4-10) Del Mar Recap
Both surfaces seemed to play fair.
Rafael Bejarano, Joel Rosario, and Joe Talamo each booted home a pair.
Bench Points (7th race) looked good rallying along the inside to easily capture the Graduation Stakes. The CA-bred juvenile has some talent for Tim Yakteen.
Tough day on the ticket front as I could only manage one Primary (Bench Points) and one Secondary (Derive) winner during a competitive sequence.

Degree of Difficulty: Moderate. On a scale of 1 to 10, the Thursday pick six from Del Mar rates a 6.
Possible Singles: Sheeza Beast (4th race), Light of a Star (5th race)
